It just isn't balanced without it.You'll definitely be feeling the lack of power at earlier levels, but later on, when you're casting Dimension Door and Ray of Enfeeblement and Disintegrate whenever you want, it's the ENEMIES who'll be feeling it, if you get my drift.Anyway, the majority of the class has worked well in our games, mainly because of our House Rules. We use a Mana system, and so nobody has to prepare spells ahead of time- so Spontaneous Casting isn't an issue. (The mana system simplifies the game and just makes it a lot more fun to play, in my opinion.) Also, we instituted a House Rule that Clerics get an extra Domain at 10th and 20th level- but in regards to my class, we decided that the Arcane Disciple would have the spells added to his spell list, and he'd gain the Domain ability, he just wouldn't gain any extra spells per day because of it (since he doesn't have domain spell slots to begin with). But for all other intents and purposes, he's got the Domain just as much as the next Cleric. (Since, after all, the Arcane Disciple pretty much has the Magic Domain in this fashion already, just not the Domain Power.) That way, you wouldn't lose any power if you wanted to gain a Prestige Domain- you'd still be able to cast the extra spells and get the power. In fact, you'd kinda be getting the better end of the deal, since now you can prepare as many Domain spells as you want, rather than just once per day.Hey, it sounds like your character is developing a lot like mine! My character has a Bodyguard too, although I'm a much higher level, and mine is the result of Leadership (it just sounds like yours is too low of a level to have been gotten from Leadership). After our last adventure (where my character was killed, and brought back due to our House Rule of one free True Ressurection), my character went to his church and demanded a bodyguard. So, now, he's got a 4th-level Fighter/5th-level Master of Chains as a bodyguard. He's got Improved Trip, Combat Reflexes and uses a Spiked Chain, so he's really freakin' awesome.</blockquote>
