Message: <blockquote data-quote="Felon" data-source="post: 3142347" data-attributes="member: 8158">The reason this is a weak arguement is because you're not demonstrating any actual sacrifice. You're doing what I said you were doing before, offering the rationalization that any choice you're required to make--be it a feat that's actually very good to have, two domains that are every bit as effective as the other domains available, or a pittance of skill points--is a major sacrifice. A choice is not truly a sacrifice unless the choices you're making are demonstrably inferior to other choices you could have made. In order to make the gratuitous excesses of the RoSP balance out against what a plain ol' cleric of Pelor gets, you basically have to start out in the negative column. Where do you get the 75% estimate from? If you're suggesting that the players of aspiring servants of Pelor aren't going to have the good sense to take the two necessary domains-- that the choice of a PrC is a last-minute haphazard decision for those folks--then you're just being blatantly coy.So, wait until 8th level to take it if you don't want to lose the BAB. Many far less lavish PrC's don't even give you the option of taking the PrC before 8th. Zero sacrifice.I lay three bills down on a table side-by-side. One's a dollar bill and the other two are twenties. I tell you to choose one. Now, only one of those choices is really a raw deal. But the logic you would present here is that any of those choices is a sacrifice, because it denies you the opportunity to select the other two. I think most people would find that pretty spurious.</blockquote>
