Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jin" data-source="post: 1289453" data-attributes="member: 1484">OK, took another stab at it, but went with customization based on clerical domains.  I got this idea from Master AO’s point that this would seem to create to many classes.  By going at it in the exact same fashion as clerical powers are picked, it solves this problem in the same way that all clerics, even with different domains, are one class.  So, each holy warrior (I’ll call them that unofficially until a better name is found as I don’t want to plagiarize Green Ronin) can choose 2 domains from their deity’s domain list just as a cleric of that deity does.  However, instead of just picking a domain power at 1st level, they choose powers from 1st through 8th levels.  If a spell is granted as an ability lower than 6th level, it can be cast a number of times per day equal to the holy warrior’s charisma bonus.  All spells are cast as a sorcerer the same level as the holy warrior’s class level.Powers per Level:1st:  choose 2 of the 4 domain powers2nd:  receive 2 domain powers3rd:  receive 2 domain powers4th:  spell casting & choose 1 of the 2 domain powers5th:  choose 1 of the 2 domain powers (these are usually mounts/companions/etc)6th-8th:  choose 1 of the 6 domain spells (these are always spells from the chosen domains)For the 6th, 7th, & 8th level spells, the holy warrior can cast a single spell from one of their deity’s domain spell list.  You can choose a spell at any of these levels.  However, the level you choose to take it affects the level of spell you can take.A spell taken at 6th level can be 3rd level & the casting progression is as follows:6th – 1/week9th – 2/week12th – 3/week15th – 4/week18th – 5/weekA spell taken at 7th level can be 4th level & the casting progression is as follows:7th – 1/week11th – 2/week15th – 3/week19th – 4/weekA spell taken at 8th level can be 5th level & the casting progression is as follows:8th – 1/week12th – 2/week16th – 3/week20th – 4/week---Here are the example domains from Auril, Chauntea, Lathander, Talos, Tempus, Tymora, & Tyr.  (The cold & justice domains have been added to Auril & Tyr respectively to add some flavor.)Domain:  Animal1st level:  Class Skills – handle animal & ride1st level:  Animal Empathy2nd level:  Scent3rd: level:  Speak with Animals4th level:  Rebuke Animals5th level:  Animal CompanionDomain:  Chaos1st level:  Detect Law1st level:  Smite Law2nd level:  Charisma Bonus to All Saves (Divine Grace)3rd: level:  Aura of Fear4th level:  Turn Lawful Outsider5th level:  Special MountDomain:  Cold1st level:  Class Skill – survival;
