[QUOTE="seasong, post: 846745, member: 5137"] - Fixed Knowledge domain skill points. - Switched to Cleric's spells per day. Yeah, yeah, you were right :). - Decided to go with this as an NPC class instead. Note that this class has two primary advantages over the cleric: spontaneous domain spells, and a more "priestly" skill selection. The spell selection should probably be modified slightly to favor society spells (like higher level versions of Guidance) over combat spells, but that will simply have to wait until I have time again. This is a pretty strong NPC class, and might make an interesting PC choice once in a while (slightly better than Adept), but is primarily intended to fill the archetype hole in D&D religions - I decided it didn't need to be a PC class to do that :). As a secondary class, a Holy Warrior NPC class might work well: Cleric BAB and HD and skills, but gets spells as a 1st level Priest at 4th level, and adds +1 Priest spellcasting ability every second level after that. Not quite as a good as a straight Warrior for normal combat, but some decent spells at the higher levels. [/QUOTE]
