[QUOTE="Mengu, post: 4929416, member: 65726"] I don't imagine an elf ranger has the charisma to multiclass as bard, especially if he already has a 13 intelligence (sounds like a pretty MAD character if he qualifies for Warlord multiclass too). And without a good charisma the bard healing loses a lot of punch. Has he used any background options during character creation? If not, you can simply give him a background option that makes Insight a class skill. This way when he levels up, he can retrain one of his class skills, say Athletics to Insight, and with Warlord multiclass pick Athletics up again. No harm done. If he does already have a different background option, then I would still be inclined to handwave it and give him insight. Also another thing to consider is that just because you're picking up cleric multi-class, a feat that gives you religion and a daily healing word, doesn't mean you just became a holy man. Rules just tell you the game mechanics, you can refluff it however you want. His dislike of religion could have fueled him to study it more if he has some vendetta against the religion or the church, which would explain the training in religion. His Healing Word could be exactly the kind of trick, calling to nature spirits to do the healing to show those men of faith, that a healing power is not just in the hands of the clerics, a guardian of nature can also wield the same magic. When you need to make the glove fit the hand, feel free to poke some holes in it. [/QUOTE]
