[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 6276881, member: 58416"] I voted "something else." The PC sounds as though he is genuinely pious. As such, I'd be inclined to say that the deity in question aids the character and then gives the character a vague (I think most visions from deities should be,) but easy to interpret vision to embark on a quest which is important to the deity. Depending on edition, I might say that the mechanical manifestation of the deity's will would be expecting the character to take 1 level in paladin, cleric, or some other class (or prestige class pertaining to the deity.) If we're talking 3.5, I would wave the typical "must be LG" requirement for paladin under the understanding that it would only be one level. Alternatively, I'd be inclined to say the fighter would be able to choose religiously themed feats as though they were 'fighter bonus feats.' An alternative to that alternative would be to allow the fighter to use scrolls and magical devices pertaining to the deity and the deity's domains; treating the fighter's character level as cleric level for determining what level of spells/effects could be used via Use Magical Device.
