[QUOTE="Shaele, post: 444141, member: 3071"] Strange question I know... I have a character who is a converted 1/2 elf wizard/cleric from 2nd edition. He was the first character I attempted to convert when 3e came out, and at the time I decided to split his character levels based on his history. I ended up making him a cleric 3 / wizard 3 since that matched my concept (scholar of Oghma) and I didn't think it would hinder him much. After a year of playing him, I now have a cleric 3, wizard 9 with feats like Brew Potion, and ranks of Profession: Herbalist. Neat character to play, tons of history, and the rest of the party appreciates him. He feels gimped though: the rest of party is casting 7th level spells, and he just learned his first 5th level spell. With a druid in the party, his paltry 1-2 cure lights a day doesn't add much *oomph*, and the clerical feel like a huge waste. If I was to recreate him from scratch, I would go cleric 1 / wizard x, but it's too late now (a year later...) Is there any *legitimate* way of dropping a couple of levels of cleric in this situation, where his cleric levels were his *first* levels? Ideally, I'd like him to end up a cleric 1 / wizard x: keeping one level of cleric is important for continuity and rp reasons. I'm not picky about xp loss either - I'd be completely happy losing two levels overall as long as they were the dreaded clerical levels (since then he'd still have the ability to eventually hit 19th level as a wizard). Thanks, Shaele [/QUOTE]
