[QUOTE="Sound of Azure, post: 3524028, member: 40749"] I've only had this happen a few times to my Cleric PCs, and mostly it's NPCs that they'll be advising. For the most part, it was due to the transient nature of the adventuring party. Our charaters tended to move around too much. It was only in campaigns where we could put down roots, or at least only roam about in a small area where we could make connections with NPCs for more than a few sessions. The one major exception was one campaign that was built on the basis of being on a pilgrimage to a holy site. Most of the PCs were believers, with one of the fighters being merely a hireling (but friend of another PC). As a cleric, my PC's role was a bit different to normal, and I was a lot more invested in the story. As for advising the other PCs, I haven't seen it happen too often, to be honest. Unless you're talking about knowing stuff about the undead, or about different faiths. [/QUOTE]
