[QUOTE="Steven McRownt, post: 171216, member: 2316"] [b]playtesting report[/b] 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...:rolleyes: 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 :o ) : 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? Steven McRownt [/QUOTE]
