[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 7846771, member: 19675"] Some of that, you’re going to need to ask your DM about, but my gut tells me that KS:Religion is the same as what he’s calling “KS:Occult”. I think the Ranger is a good fit, especially with what I’m about to suggest below. All that favored enemy stuff is entirely in keeping with your concept. One thing I can tell you right now is that the Knowledge Devotion feat (Complete Champion, p60) is one you should seriously consider. Rangers get more skill points than most other martial classes, and that helps fuel this feat. And the class has a couple of the relevant KS skills as class skills. Even for cross-class skills, you’ll have the option of having meaningful ranks without gimping the rest of your skillset. Another option that might work would be either a Bard or one of the Bard variants- especially the Divine Bard. [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.d20srd.org/index.htm[/URL] Like the Ranger, the bard gets a lot of skill points, and even better, has KS skills as class skills. While they’re not as good at fighting, they’re great at information gathering, cast more spells, and have just as many skill points. Somewhere between the Ranger and the Rogue lies the Scout class. It has some features that could make it an interesting option, but it’s not ideal. [URL unfurl="true"]https://dndtools.net/classes/scout/[/URL] The Beguiler might also work, but it’s still a bit of a stretch. [URL unfurl="true"]https://dndtools.net/classes/beguiler/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
