Perfectly then, I'm going to re-write the background (it would be quite similar to that one, I'll just adjust the rogue part to a clerical one). Any idea about how the church would regard a cleric with druidical powers?

Actually, if memory seves, the quote you're looking for is:Mowgli said:
"But it is also said, 'Go not to the elves for counsel, for they will say both yea and nay.' "
Or at least, I think so, maybe.
Anyway, after having read this thread through to the end, and becoming completely lost and confused, I'm not sure that I belong in this game after all.
My computer at home went on the fritz yesterday, right now I've sneaked into my office on a Sunday to get caught up w/ enWorld. I'll be calling the computer go-rillas tomorrow morning. Hopefully they can come for a visit tomorrow afternoon and get me all fixed up. But, during the week, at least, I should have access to my work comp. (I would still feel funny carrying dnd books up here, though, ya know?!!

That's the one I was looking for - thanks, Leif!

I suppose one way to go about it would be from the standpoint that it's not actually the Church but the Light that grants a priest his powers. How 'bout this:
A priest of the Light who shows a natural inclination for heretical nature magic. It is unquestionable that the Light is granting him clerical spells and abilities, so the Church can't officially brand him a heretic, but boy is he an embarassment! Hey, let's keep him cloistered so he doesn't have a chance to show his stuff in public . . .
Years later . . .
OK, this guys getting fairly potent both as a cleric and as a druid, we've got to figure something else out for him to keep him out of the public eye. Hey, let's send him off to help start a colony in the @$$ end of nowhere! He'll be useful to them (and to the church) but he'll be out of the sight (and minds) of the general populace as well. And if we're lucky, he'll actually get killed over there - something that wasn't likely to happen while he was stuffed away in that monastery.
This way, he gets his clerical powers and his druidic powers, and there's a nice conflict in the backstory that could provide meat for adventures and complications when we need them to 'spice things up.'
Additionally, if you want to say his Druidical powers manifested late in life you've got a backstory for Human Paragon class combined with Cleric for his first three levels, granting you the additional class skills and skill points mentioned by Scotley a few posts back.

JA? You didn't list my (12th level gestalt rules) Fighter/Druid on your cast of characters. Have I been bumped? If so, then I won't bother rolling him up. Sorry that I haven't put pen to paper for him yet. Is this using a point-buy system, or rolls? Honestly, I looked for this because I know you told us at one time, but I couldn't find it just now. Either way, I can probably get him rolled up sometime tomorrow, and get him finished tomorrow night (but my computer at home is not working now, so unless I get it fixed tomorrow that will do us no good) and maybe get him posted on Tuesday?
This is still the only thread for the Gestalt game, isn't it?

Yes it is the only thread for the Gestalt Game...and the only reason he was not listed for a slot or consideratino as I had no idea what he really looked like other than the vague outline you presented...remember the character selection is going to more or less be based on how well it fit's with the overall group...and the listing i made was tentative based on what i had to compare and go over with my check sheet. So truly the entire party has not been cast or is totaly locked in. We are using the modifed rules for you number generation 4d6 droppint ones..two of the scores must be 17 or better

General question
What about Divine Avengers? Do we start at first or third level? Distinctly I remember, it was first level initialy and don't remember it changed...
JA, Truenamer? he would be more useful in 12th level gestalt then in first level, but if you don't allow it I won't bother...I do PREFFER lower levels, but doens't mean I'm not intersted. As it seems not all places are taken I'll post initial background later today...
I'd really like Truenamer tested in game as there is so much on boards how weak the class is and I like the concept. Maybe we can work some changes later if needed...

Hennett, Leif's Gestalt Game Ranger/Druid
Here ya go, JA:
I rolled Hennett's stats here: invisiblecastle.com/stats/view/15680/ (I decided to switch dec and con, too, btw)
Here's what I got:
S 17
D17
C11
I 11
W 13
C 11
He's not necessarily going to be much of druid, I guess, but he beats hell as a ranger. Hennett is going to be primarily an archer. His first feat will be Weapon Focus, Shortbow (it's easier to maneuver through thick woods and briars with a short bow), with Rapid Shot and Point Blank Shot to follow as soon as possible. I look for Hennett to be pretty weak as a healer, but he'll do what he can.
Now, do we start at first level or third?
