Ed has commented in the past that Elminster's several centuries of service to Mystra may have made him a bit insane, and the Simbul often is seen as missing a face card or two from her deck as well. Moreover, many of Mystra's "failed Chosen" (Sammaster, Aloevan) have gone insane by virtue of an inability to cope with Mystra' s power flowing through them.IMHO, the Chosen template is most suitable for NPCs, as enforcers of Mystra's will, unless the DM is really ready to run entire campaigns geared around the Chosen's duties. The responsibilities involved in being divine servants/proxies of a deity are a bit on the extreme side; check out The Seven Sisters and/or Secrets of the Magister for some indication of the massive responsibilities and trials involved in achieving this status.Also, like all other templates that confer significant positive benefits, the Chosen template should have an ECL. I'd say about +7 is appropriate at the level at which a PC actually is likely to acquire this template.</blockquote>
