Message: <blockquote data-quote="paqqy" data-source="post: 5037842" data-attributes="member: 75432">Long story... It's the DMs way of incorporating me into his campaign.This much is from the DM: My character is the grandchild of famous clerics. In his adulthood, my character was saved from a pesky situation by the government (think a fantasy version of the FBI/CIA/X-Files/MiB). He was deemed to be a talented addition and given the decision to have his mind erased (a la Men-in-Black) or work for them in their archives. My character's role in the archives was left up to me, but the Archivist fits in perfectly. My character's age (40+) and his rescue would make it more plausible that he would have a level before starting this archivist job.The Cloistered Cleric all the way through seems kinda.... yuck... Even with the Contemplative Prc... I've always disliked the Contemplative. I feel like it's only good for the domains and makes an otherwise weak cleric. Maybe there's something I'm not seeing.Not to mention adding some useful skills as class skills... though those are points that I would want to add to Knowledge, rather than Escape Artist or Tumble!I think that half true. What makes the class unique is the Dark Knowledge, the archivist sucks at melee and is a full caster. While it might not be crucial to get to those higher level spells, it might be more crucial to get to my lower levels of spellcasting sooner rather than 2 or 3 levels later. Also, when delay the archivist's spellcasting you also delay the Dark Knowledge abilities. Waiting til 7th or 8th level for a party buff that you should be granting at 5 (or 6 with 1 backstory level) seems to be less-than-optimal to the party too.But I could be wrong...Blah. Char creation is hard. :-(</blockquote>
