[QUOTE="Maerdwyn, post: 1602507, member: 835"] Middle aged is fine - so long is he his still spry enough to be a reasonable logical choice to be sent on missions for the people :) As far as the multiclassing goes, it's fine game-wise, but I'm not sure it works with the way priests were trained at the time, especially given your character concept, which is cool, but not neccesarily compatible with being a kohein. Also, regarding your tribe. Aaron and Moses were of the Tribe of Levi - if your character is closely related to Aaron, then he is a Levite as well. A kohein at the time would have been a member of the Levites. (Ghostknight can fill us in if my understanding on these points is incorrect.) If you want him to be a Levite, you can go with what you've posted, but might have to make the hunting/outsider thing part of his past, rather than his present. If you don't want him to be a Levite, or want to keep him as an outsider in the present, I'm tempted to let you trade a couple of ranger class skills in return for ones you'd need for prophet - if that's something you'd want to explore. If you don't multiclass to Levite priest first, you still gains spell casting levels (only) as a Levite priest as a prophet when you join that class. Archery instead of two weapon fighting is fine by me. Might consider using the 3.5e ranger even if we go with 3.0, depending on balance (I used Monte's 3.0 ranger in my last D&D campaign. The ranger has always been troublesome :sighs: ) I'll work with you. Hunting and protection would be enough to live one, but remember that you are all with a group of nomads in the desert right now, living on manna, etc. Survival is the key right now - not much going on in the way of stoneworking, etc. To regain spell slots, my current thinking is that a priest would need to make sacrifices at an altar - constructing and blessing one himself, if necessary because there is no altar to the Lord nearby. Again, I'll ask Ghostknight to comment here. [/QUOTE]
