[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9015869, member: 2209"] "Priests of Isis are, in actuality, multi-class wizard/priest characters. In the case of human worshipers, the normal prohibition against multi-class characters is waived." "Are" is different than "can be" I would say that if you can be a specialty priest/priest of a specific mythoi and you choose Isis then you therefore are a mutliclass. It specifies humans as an exception to the normal multiclass but does not mention demihumans. So it is a DM call on whether demihumans who can not normally cleric/wizard multiclass can become specialty priests of Isis. From a worldbuilding aspect it would be weird to have a culture of elves who worship the Pharaohonic pantheon who can be priests of every god in the pantheon but Isis because they as a race are not multiclass magical enough. It is arguable though as if dwarves cannot be wizards because their inherent resistance to magic is so strong they cannot do wizard magic, then end running that through Isis worship is odd. It is also weird that elves cannot be cleric-wizards to start though and half-elves can. I would generally go with the concept that Isis specialty priests are a class that operates as a cleric/wizard multiclass. I would stick with the theory that Isis priests are a single priest class that use mechanics of multiclassing so you could dual class into Isis priest or out of it (losing all Isis multiclassing advancement) to something else. Off hand I think I would probably not allow dual classing with a wizard class. [/QUOTE]
