[QUOTE="drunkadelic, post: 252825, member: 4020"] Howdy everyone. Currently, I'm playing in Rune's [URL=http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15479]Another Runic Story Hour: Kingdom of Kalamar in the Dream[/URL]. My character a Clr2 / Bar1, serves the Battlerager, a diety with a portfolio that's easy to guess from his name. Just to make things interesting, he's allowed me to try and come up with a prestige class for my character that combines the Barbarian and Cleric together in a holy way... but only if it's balanced. Here's what I've come up with so far, and I'd appreciate any input or suggestions you all may have. Also, lots of thanks to Wulf for inspiration for some of the abilities my prestige class has from his Heroes of High Favor: Dwarves book. I've been peeking at Rune's copy when he doesn't have his nose jammed in it himself and it's fantastic.
