Could a cleric of Kelemvor multiclass to Prescient Bard

[hennebeck]

Ok, so here's my dilemma.

I am right now playing a Cleric of Kelemvor, and playing up the aspect of Fate.
Would someone like that be against the Prescient bard. The twisting of fate to get the right outcome.
How can I convince myself that side-stepping fate is not the same as undeath?

Thanks for any thoughts.

Why would it be the same as undeath?

Undeath can only occur when someone has already died. It's an "after the fact" thing. Twisting fate is a preventive measure, like healing magic, medical aid, or the decision to wear armor.

The charge of Kelemvor to his novitiates is this: "Death is but part of life: fear it not, evade it not, and view it not as evil. To fear death delivers you into the hands of those who can bring death down upon you. Die with dignity, neither raging nor seeking to embrace undeath. Do honor to the dead, for their strivings in life brought Faerûn to where it is now, and to forget them is to forget also where we are now—and why."

Dogmatically, no matter how much a person attempts to alter Fate, their time comes when their time comes. Becoming a prophet and (possibly) being able to determine when a person dies is a hella cool concept, and a fairly traditonal one at that. The character then struggles with the possibilties - Do I prevent this death or allow it to happen?

I see this character as a fantasy version of Tru Calling from the show of the same name. More specially, the character played by Jason Priestly was like the anti-Tru; where Tru used her ability to prevent Death, Priestly's character tried to prevent her from preventing a "natural" Death.

Perhaps your character would use his/her powers to prevent those who would unnaturally extend their life, or perhaps the character will struggle with the "right" course of action... do, or do not.

I like it.
