Well done, Crothian, well done.
I can say that the priest is what we intended to create: somethin more versatile, that was different from any other priest of a different god.
I was preparing my session, i decided to have an NPC priest of Armageddon (the new god of destruction, death, and evilness): it is a little bit longer to prepare it, instead of a cleric (the core one), but perhaps only because it was the first time and i had to choose a good amount of feats and divine powers. But it looked great. I mean, hw wasn't standing with a plate mail and a 2H flail in the center of the undead horde, but quite distant using his spells while hiding... Of course everyone can say to me, that is your choice, but even a core cleric could have done it. Yep, but the difference is, that this priest was not good as combatant as a core cleric (where war cleric, healers and undead masters have the same values but a single different spell per level), but had his way to reach his scopes...'till the arrive of the PCs...
Our monk took a level in cleric (he can multiclass without resrtiction, in my campaign with paladin and/or cleric and still be able to take again some level in mok). He took 1 domain point in protection (but still use his wisdom modifiers instead of wearing armors), 2 domain points in healing and 2 domain powers in war (he is a follower of the Just War's God
) : he looked a little bit underpowered campared to a first level of a core cleric, but i asure you that in few levels he'd fill the gap.
He asked me a good question: do the BAB (or HD, or whatever) increase are retroactive? I answered no, he will start to use the new HD, BAB and so on, at the level he will gain them (with the same mechanics a multiclass character do, after all).
I asked to myself another question, this one is still without answer: there are some gods with 2 domains or just three... when a priest will take all he can, and still have domain points to use, should i decide to add a domain to the god, or leave some sort of 'flexibility', and let each priest choose another path (of course it cannot be oppostite nor distant to the god's portfolio): to a healer god i would add sun, and so on....?
At S.K. Reynolds site, he added the "prestige" domains to the FR deities... what we should do?

Glad to hear you've been able to use it in your game. All I get to do is make NPCs up and stare at them (I'm not running anything right now).
The increase in HD, Saving throws, and BAB I'm not happy with. It shouldn't be retroactive, yet not making it retroactive hurts. Especially the BAB. That one is not a big increase anyway.
For the domains, I've always added the ones from DotF and FRCS and a few other choices to my gods. This gave the players all sorts of choices. I'lll try to go through and do those this week.

I'm worried that there was an actual battle. The message boards are cool and all, but my gf wins hands down evertime.
Just remember, that tonight when she falls asleep, you can sneak out of bed and get on the computer and reply then.
um whole can of worms mate!
... light sleeper, computer about 4ft from bed ... fyi: no real battle, just some foot tapping as I typed
right then, back to 3e!
