[QUOTE="ClaytonCross, post: 7414858, member: 6880599"] I don't mind this idea its kind of like the Warlock Patron / Pact / Invocation format which makes them easier to "after market edit" but I expect instead of re-inventing the wheel I find homebrew is better as a supplement. With that in mind I think you would be better suited modeling the 5th edition version after the totem Barbarian, where you make subclass like "The Domain of Faithful" and allow them to select any patron then they get domain features based on the domains available from their diety that forks into paths Crusader and Mystic. All Deities have 1 or 2 domain as far as I know, so if you make a Deity bonus chart that has a minor and major Domain option you could let anyone who serves a Deity with two domains take the two minor domain abilities for the domains available through their deity or 1 major domain option focusing on one aspect of the deity they serve. I think that makes deity selection more interesting an option then choose a "path of service" of mystic or crusader (Alternate names for consideration of Priest ([I]instead of mystic since that is the name of another class wizards of the coast has been working on) and/or Militant Missionary (instead of crusader since that has already be listed as a fighter and paladin subclass or its own class and you might get more individual traction with your idea if people don't confuse it with other attempts. Just a consideration not a criticism.[/I]) That's my 2 cents for what its worth. Best of luck on your idea though. [B]It has possibilities[/B], it just seems like an intriguing starting point, not a finishing product, in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
