[QUOTE="Felix, post: 3414507, member: 3929"] Except, of course: [indent]Alignment Deity Domains Party Role[/indent] A Radiant Servant cannot be a mysterious cleric of a forgotten god of death looking to bring retribution upon the unfaithful. Why? Because he's a cleric of Pelor (or Pelor-placeholder) who has the Sun domain, and is well advised to take the Healing domain so he can [i]use[/i] half of his class abilities. If it doesn't matter to you that you [i]must be[/i] a NG worshipper of Pelor who is good at Healing, then RSoP will be a natural choice for you. I can't even count how many times I've wanted that on one hand, because when I've played a cleric, I've never wanted that. The Radiant Servant cannot use his Death Touch ability from his Death domain. He cannot Turn or Rebuke elemental creatures. He cannot Smite from his Destruction domain. He cannot use scrolls or wands as a Wizard nor cast [i]Identify[/i] from his domain slot. He does not have Bluff, Disguise, and Hide as class skills from his Trickery domain. He cannot cast [Evil] spells. What he can do is choose to fill his domain slots with [i]Cure[/i] spells that every other cleric can spontaneously cast from their spells available, while at the same time not preparing any other more interesting domain spells from his other two domains. You're kidding. Will you argue that the Ranger's Favored Enemy: Orc ability is too powerful when all you fight are Orcs? Of course the Radiant Servant is going to shine in Age of Worms: you spend the whole bloody campaign fighting Undead! If you want to Heal and fight undead, then this class is obviously for you. But saying that the class is too good not to take if you want to heal and fight undead is as silly as saying the Dwarven Defender is too good not to take if you want to play a heavy-armor dwarf who stands in people's way and can't be moved.
