That immediately triggered the phrase 'Cleric for Hire', which led to the phrase Mercenary Cleric.And then I thought 'that sounds like an interesting idea for a character'. Not a mercenary who is a cleric - a sell-mace, if you will; but a cleric that sells his religious services to anyone that's buying. Unaffiliated with (and in fact, rather disliked by) the church authorities, his beliefs are as purchaseable as his loyalty.What kinds of things could this character be hired to do? * Sell Cure spells, Blessings etc. * Perform the coronation for a rebel prince to add legitimacy to an insurrection. * Marry a pair of star cross'd lovers. * Perform the funery rites for an utterly despised villain or other scumbag. * Take the confessions of a loathesome lich or assassin. * Hold the regular religious ceremonies for an excommunicated village. * Come up with the theological arguments to back up a new cult that lacks a scholar of its own. * Consecrate the land a thieve's guildhouse is to be built on. * Perform an exorcism on a bitter old miser who has been touched by the angel of generosity, to return him to his skinflint ways. * Grant personal sanctuary to a wanted fugitive ("Coincidentally, the radius of my sanctuary extends as far as my attacks of opportunity")Anyone got any further ideas or comments?</blockquote>
