@tdc: I just copy the links into a text file on my desktop, so I always find them, if they are not on top anymore or anything else is screwed up.

Depending on how far you are with your now divine character, if Matt is making the above switch, maybe you might want to consider going back to your initial concept. Just adding this thought, in case you didn't notice, if you would prefer that, that is.

Well, I was actually kind of looking forward to spreading the light of Pelor (or other generic sun god)... but I'll see Maybe I'll PM and we'll talk.

That wouldn't be a problem, for sure, I just thought you only moved to another concept, since we would have ended up with three multiclassed wizards otherwise.

One multiclassed wizard and two divine casters or two multiclassed wizards and one divine caster. Both works, I guess. *shrug*

@Paxus: I made one change to my spellbook. Dropped Remove Curse (just realized, that Break Enchantment can do that, too ) and added Mnemonic Enhancer (which actually is pretty useful, which I never really noticed until a few minutes ago. ).

DM_Matt: An exalted character might work, but I'm doubtful of the balance of many exalted feats and spells. In general, I don't like to have PrCs that ought to be connected with organizations cut loose from them, and I also abhorr Harpers. The class itself seems overpowered; admittedly, the entry requirements are a little steep, but A) Vow of Obedience will cease to be a factor shortly after the game begins, B) at your level, seven levels of the class will have made up for the entry reqs, and C) favored enemy (anything evil) strikes me as rather overpowered. I'm afraid I'll not allow the Harper Paragon class.

Well, Re the PRC, I wasnt trying to disaccosiate the prc from the group, and I dont like Harpers either, but it seems it would work just as well for any generic fighter-caster government agent. VoO will always matter bc its a wasted feat, among two wasted feats, out of the six the character gets. The MAD issue makes smite and knowledge very costly to use decently, and FE(Evil) is, when it comes down to it, just a +1 dmg and +1 to a few skills. As PRC abilities go, there are many much stronger ones. But its your game.

As far as Exalted stuff without this prc, there is no point in me playing an Exalted divine caster if most of the new exalted divine spells are ruled out, so I'd like a little guidance as to examples of whats good and whats not.

Most of the spells are acceptable; some, however, are quite clearly more powerful than is balanced. Examples of unbalanced spells include: Constricting Chains (against any target which lacks teleportation magic, in effect deals 3d6/level nonlethal, with no damage cap), End to Strife (again, greatly exceeds damage caps), and Starmantle (coupled with evasion, renders a subject almost completely immune to weapon damage). Anything that's of comparable power to a spell of similar level, on the same list, is fine; if you see a spell in BoED and realize that there's no reason not to prepare it, it's probably too powerful.

I don't think that many governments would have an exalted prestige class among the ranks of their secret services. Even the purest, most impossibly virtuous fantasy realms tend to have secret services composed of the more pragmatic and morally relativistic types.

I think the exalted material is balanced against the vile material.

In general, I don't like to have PrCs that ought to be connected with organizations cut loose from them,

That's one of my issues - it's hard to be a guild mage far, far away from your guild.

Why does this remind me of Van Helsing.

Hey guys, what's up?

Can't be that hard to write up a decent character.
Especially divine... you don't even have to worry about spell selections.
