[QUOTE="Corwin of Amber, post: 5346178, member: 95636"] I believe the Ur-Priest class actually mentions the possibility of worshipping a dead god in the description text. As for the fact that the order is hard to find, I assumed I would run off of the fact that I had been publicly scorned by my god and clergy to give them possible incentive to find me. If they're as spiteful as the text makes them seem, they would want to propigate their order with the outcasts of divine magic. On to the issue with them being evil. A good person cast aside by what he thought was right might turn evil in an attempt to seek vengeance; Evil people rarely become good to seek vengeance on their allies. Just as a point of reference, among Celestials there is an amount of camaraderie, whereas the is infighting among demons/devils. This sets a precedence for Good vs. Evil and Evil vs. Evil, so a class that would oppose both Good and Evil is mroe likely to be Evil, itself. Additionally, this type of evil may be similar to my character's described type of evil: usany any means, no matter how much it would harm others, to achieve a goal that you see as right (stealing power from the gods is wrong, but possible using that power for a lawful end). One last note about the mechanics, I need to take Mounted combat to get into Prestige Paladin or Spell Focus (Evil) to get into Ur-Priest, so either way it's going to require a marginally useful feat.
