I've not encountered the underpowered cleric problem that Mr. Darkfang mentioned. In fact, the clerics I've come across in the books I've read have been horrendously overpowered. Case in point, Cadderly Bonaduce, the hero of Salvatore's Cleric Quintet novels. SPOILERS I mean seriously, when we first meet Cadderly, the guy's just some choir boy in training in the order of Deneir. But by the end of the novels, he's gone toe to toe with a psychic assassin, tamed a elder red dragon, taken on an entire army, and created a whole freaking temple to Deneir by himself. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> Now I'd understand if the series occured within a number of years, as it would show Cadderly growing into his power. But it doesn't, the novels as a whole occur only in one year, and Cadderly himself becomes some demigod by the end of it. Can you say Mary Sue anyone? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />  SPOILERS</blockquote>
