[QUOTE="Technik4, post: 361930, member: 7211"] [b]Cleric, Priest, White Mage?[/b] I imagine the cleric as the most militant of a church's order, besides champions (paladins, cleric/fighters, rangers, etc.). Then priest, but I feel priest would almost make an NPC class, represetning any run of the mill Minister, Friar, Abbot, what-have-you. Then the white mage (mostly a concept originating from final fantasy, and not d&d) seems like the wizard but with the priest spell list. How to balance all of them? Ok, cleric is your base class and does not need to be changed. Adept is your basis for a "priest" class, so alter the spell list and perhaps raise the hp. Finally the white mage is very powerful, essentially a variant spell-caster. Priest- NPC Class Adept Variant Everything same as Adept except: -Has light armor proficiency and may use shields. -May not get a familiar. -Does not get scry or handle animal as class skills. Does get Diplomacy, Gather Information. -At 3rd level may turn/rebuke undead as a 1st level cleric. Gains ability to turn an additional level every other level. White Mage- PC Class Wizard Variant Everything same as wizard except: -White Mages must be good, and lose all benefits if their alignment ever changes. Additionally they may not cast spells with an alignment descriptor opposing theirs. -May not specialize, for the purpose of prc requirements, is considered to be a Conjurer. -Receives all the spells with the healing descriptor on their spell list. -Is banned from casting any evocations or illusions. -The white mage uses wisdom as their spellcasting ability modifier. This modifies spell DCs, bonus spells, and is necessary to be at least as high level as the spell they are casting (ie- 19 wisdom in order to cast a level 9 spell). Technik [/QUOTE]
