Any stealthy cleric class for evil race?

[Bastoche]

Why not simply have an unarmored cleric with trickery domain (hide is covered), maxed cross class move sliently with skill focus (move silently) and boots of elvenkind (or silent armor)?

I don't know how well versed you players are in spot/listen, but usually a ~15 total skill check adjustment in "stealth" is more than enough.

Following up on Bastoche's suggestion, of just maxing MS & Hide skills with Cleric levels, you could take your first level as Rogue (or even Scout, Spellthief, or NINJA!) to get Hide & Move Silent with lots of skill points, then do straight Cleric from that point forward. If you take Able Learner as your Human Bonus Feat and have a reasonable INT, you will have great scores in both skills.

EDIT: Hmm... I missed the original point about "evil, subterrain" races. I *think* there was a Human variant in the Underdark book, essentially a slave race, which might qualify for the Able Learner feat... not sure...

Thanks for suggestions. Now I am leaning toward lightly armored Hobgoblin cleric with Trickery domain. With their +2 Dex and +4 racial bonus to Move silently, straight cleric may have reasonably high Move Silently bonus.
