[QUOTE="Azul, post: 2652924, member: 11779"] Mechanically, it's a pretty weak option. Maybe cherry picking a single level of the second cleric type would be worth it if you needed the saves and/or turning attempts to power some divine feats. Otherwise, the hit to your spellcasting is just too noticable. I'd probably allow a more-or-less evenly split dual-cleric if there was a really good backstory to it. The most likely scenario would be a cleric of two different but allied (or at least friendly) gods. Another possibility would be a cleric who is being fought over by two different deities (which begs the question "why is he so important?"). It might be an interesting way to reflect a cleric torn between diametrically opposed teachings. Perhaps this is someone who neither deity is willing to give up on (e.g. a chaotic good deity who wants to avoid his chaotic neutral cleric falling to evil due to the temptation and easy power offered by a demon lord). Or course, this still begs the question of why does this cleric get special treatment? Perhaps the character has celestial or fiendish blood or is otherwise unusual. [/QUOTE]
