Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Spectrum Rider" data-source="post: 1940819" data-attributes="member: 10777">Not to highjack the thread, but here's mine, somewhere in between the one posted here and the standard cleric. Less of a tank than standard, but, I think, playable as an adventurer. (I've played one and it worked out fine.) I'm interested in people's opinions - flavor, balance, etc.THE WAYPRIESTThe waypriest is an alternative 20-level core class similar in many ways to the cleric. Like clerics, waypriests are devoted followers of a deity who are capable of casting divine spells. However, waypriests rely more on their wits, skills, and luck than clerics, and have correspondingly less familiarity with weapons and armor.The vast majority of deities may have both clerics and waypriests among their followers. Deities of love, art, thievery, and magic are likely to have a high percentage of waypriests, while deities of war and destruction will have fewer.A character cannot multiclass as a cleric and a waypriest.The waypriest class is identical to the cleric class except for the following:Hit Died6BABAs rogueClass SkillsAs cleric, plus Decipher Script, Gather Information, all Knowledge skills, and Sense Motive.Skill Points4 + Int modifier per level. (x 4 at 1st level.)Weapon ProficiencyAny three simple weapons of the character's choice, plus the deity's favored weapon.Armor ProficiencyAll light armors.DomainsThe waypriest chooses three of his deity's domains, rather than two. He does not get to cast more domain spells per day, but has a wider choice of domain spells. He also gets the domain powers of all three domains. [NOTE: Some deities may not have three domains. There are special rules for characters - clerics or waypriests - who want to "double up" on a domain, for example, a cleric of Pyerr who wants to take the Fire domain twice. Also, new domains can be created if needed.]Divine Resistance (Su)A 1st-level waypriest receives a +1 luck bonus to all saving throws. This bonus increases by 1 for every 4 additional levels (+2 at 5th level, +3 at 9th level, +4 at 13th level, +5 at 17th level).Armor LimitationsWaypriests symbolically show their faith in wits and luck by wearing only light armor or no armor. If a waypriest tires to cast a divine spell while wearing medium or heavy armor (even if he has gained the appropriate armor proficiency), he suffers a chance of spell failure as though he were casting an arcane spell in armor. (The chance depends on the armor; see PHB, pg. 123.) A waypriest in medium or heavy armor also loses the benefits of his Divine Resistance. These penalties persist for as long as he wears medium or heavy armor.The Spectrum Rider</blockquote>
