Is there a Speciality Priest blanekt Prc? I am looking for something like the Dweomokeeper is to Mystra but a blanket one for any god. I am trying to make a Speciality Priest of Clangedinn and was looking for something. I don't have the Tome and Blood or Magic of Faerun so if it is there let me know and I will borrow a friend's copy to check it out. Otherwise is the Divine Disciple from FRCS my best bet?
Speciality Priest?

the very idea of a "specialty" priest prevents there from being a generic version.
Last I saw, there were various prestige classes for various gods (like in the Dragon article with PrCs for Pelor, Kord, etc). These would probably be the 3e specialty priest.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

You can also use the variant classes option from the DMG. It can be usefull to make non-militant clerics.
If you're more thinking about adding powers than removing them, I'm afraid you'll have to follow the PrC route.
There have been some attempts at specialty priests in the house rule forum. I think there are two for dwarven gods. I don't have access to search but you could just ask in the house rule forum and check if their authors point to them.
Chacal, who miss the balanced specialty priests from 2e

All 3e clerics are equivalent to the 2e FR specialty priests. The domains provide a small number of specials with some bonus spells not all clerics have access too. There's a little less flavor in the 3e variants because they ARE generic (no peacenik Lathanderites), but overall it's much the same. If you are a little wigged out by the domain selection process, have each god only have 2 domains.
And if you want the lathanderites, go for it. Have the domain prevent use of non-bludgeoning weapons and give them an extra special shiny in return, like all light spells affect undead as true daylight and any daylight-equivalent spells (sunbeam, daylight, etc) add a -2 divine penalty to undead saves.
For more oomph you'll need some form of PrC.

You mean like the Dweomerkeeper of Mystra, who:Chacal said:
- had access to all spheres except War (which was never used by PCs anyway), only four of which were minor.
- fought as well as regular clerics, including weapon and armor selection.
- got extra spell-like abilities at 1st (Read Magic, Detect Magic), 3rd (Nystul's Magical Aura), 5th (Dispel Magic), and 9th (Air Walk on self or mount) level.
- were immune to dead magic and wild magic areas.
- could use most wizard-only magical items.
- had an extra +2 bonus on saves.
- became immune to three spells at 15th level.
- advanced much faster than regular clerics from level 5 to 12 or something like that (just like druids).

If you really thought I was talking about this kind of class, the we don't have the same definition of "balanced". Or is it an english problem ? I thought I was talking about "the ones which were balanced".
There were far more interesting and balanced specialty priests in the Monstrous Mythologies (Yes, in the ancient times they had it right: Elves are monsters
).
In my groups there were lots of priests, even the D6 ones with no turn undead and minor access to heal because they were still useful, flavorful and fun.

Divine Disciple is a good PrC for clerics in general. Note that the BAB advancement has been corrected in the errata (they should get cleric's BAB, not wizard's). However, it's abilities don't particularly suit a Cleric of Clangeddin Silverbeard.
Although there aren't any WotC PrCs for his clerics (unless it's in a recent issue of Dragon), any battle priest PrC should fit nicely. The Templar and the War Priest from Defenders of the Faith are the most obvious choices.

I think you're looking for Defenders of the Faith. T&B is the arcane splatbook.
