Priests - basically treated like the StarWars d20 Noble - get influence, contact, good at persuading people. No magic though. These are administrative and warrior priests. Prophets - basically use the Sorcerer rules, but with the Cleric spell list. They use Sorcerer HD, Saves, BAB. They get to turn undead. These are the people who have a "hotline" to their god, but they only tend to have faith for a limited number of "prayers". One 9th level prophet might be notable for being able to raise the dead, another 9th level prophet might have the entirely different characteristic of calling down a flame strike or breaking enchantments. Prophets of certain gods would naturally gravitate towards certain portfolios.===I find this idea attractive because it draws a clear differentiation between the way arcane and divine magic is used (preparation vis a vis spontaneous prayer/invocation). it also draws a nice distinction between the religous heirarchy and the somewhat "loose cannon" prophets.I wonder if anyone else has tried doing anything like this?</blockquote>
