Message: <blockquote data-quote="Felix" data-source="post: 3360658" data-attributes="member: 3929">So compared to a regular cleric who can also take Divine Feats, or not, how does the RSoP gain an advantage?The Monk gets class features at almost every level. This does not mean that they are very good. Which would you rather: have an option for 14 skill points, or not?It may not be much of a disadvantage, and I don't argue that it is much of one, but since I'm being fair by listing everything that the RSoP gets, no matter how quibbling Empower Healing is going to be in game-play, allow me the same. A single-classed cleric can choose where his skills go, a RSoP has less of a choice.Does alignment and deity matter to you? Are they utterly arbitrary when you make characters? Does it sit right with you that your honorable, just and forthright fighter revels in Erythnulian blood-frenzy orgies?Do you care about what alignment your character is? Does your wizard hold more interest for you if you know that he is also a deacon at the Boccobite church and represents his commitment with ranks in Knowledge (Religion)?If alignment and patron deity matter to you, this will be an enormous restriction. If you don't give a four-letter-word, then naturally: this restriction won't mean a thing to you. As I said:If you don't believe requiring NG Pelorians is giving something up, you're right. And it's getting more effective at healing and turning. These abilities are not going to break a character or campaign.It's a souped-up cleric if patronage means nothing, sure. I'm not sure if you're familiar with Doc Midnight's Knights of Spellforge Keep, but Vek Mormont sure wouldn't make sense as a Pelorian. Grubber from JollyDoc's Age of Worms wouldn't make sense as a Pelorian. Eadric from SepulchraveII's Tales of Wyre, though a paladin, wouldn't make sense if he worshipped a NG god like Pelor.It matters to me who my characters worship, and I think it should matter to players. I'll have a whole lot worse problems with a game whose characters are as faceless and vanilla as Jozan than if the Radiant Servant of Pelor is overpowered.</blockquote>
