[QUOTE="smootrk, post: 2602257, member: 28583"] I think a Cleric/Priest class that starts with the Bard class as a template has very good merits, and is probably closer to a historical standard than the battling crusader that the original Cleric class was based after. Clerics rise in power because of their leadership role with other followers of a deity. Real world priests tend to have a great number of communication and other social based skills. I still believe wisdom is a major consideration, and the spells should still be wisdom based (and divinely granted) but there is nothing wrong with the majority of skills being CHA based, and having some sort of Oratory ability like a Bard's that is CHA modified. As I develope my thoughts while writing this, I feel that the Cleric has two aspects which he/she has to juggle constantly. The relationship with the deity, and the welfare and moral leadership of the followers. A Cleric should have both aspects in roughly equal amounts. [/QUOTE]
