[QUOTE="Phlebas, post: 3853416, member: 23810"] Even into the christian era, the nordic church had cults dedicated to a particular deity (though worshipping them all). These cults had leaders / mystics and in a fantasy world magic would make sense for them. to be honest, the standard cleric seems a pretty good fit for a nordic type priest without many mods. Strength & War for Thor Luck & Trickery for loki (maybe cloistered cleric or levels of rogue would be better for ths skill points) etc The difference would be in play style - you wouldn't be giving sunday sermons but inspiring people through acts of bravery to follow the traditions of the nordic gods (and in some cases doing the rituals to make sure the gods don't take to active and malevolent interest in your people...) If you want traditional viking, ie helmet with long horns, off for a spot of rape and pillage and then back for pickled herring, then a few levels of barbarian (or even ranger) wouldn't go amiss. Zurai's idea of a few flavour abilities make sense, maybe replacing domain abilities is the easiest mechanically [/QUOTE]
