IMHO, it lacked a ‘rogue’ character but I had known campaigns whose groups had no access to certain classes and which ‘succeeded’ nevertheless. So, I took the risk. After all, the most important thing to me was that the players had to have fun rping their characters...Kalveig/Siubhan’s team, as I explained in a previous post, was entirely fortuitous.Kalveig’s player hadn’t intended to play a HoW of Morwyn but, due to his ‘coaching’ of Siubhan’s player into the world of role-playing, he switched deity. As for the priestess.. well, her player didn’t want to touch Rontra with a ten ft. pole (“You want me to be a farmer?!”) so Morwyn was the only choice she had left if she was determined (and, believe me, she was!) to have healing powers. Still, it turned out rather well.. though, at first, I could see plainly that she chafed at her near-uselessness in battle situations*Musadoc’s player, being a D&D novice, simply picked the first class he liked and went along with the background I provided him with. His companions (in-game, I mean) had no idea at first that he was a HoW just like Kalveig. They mistook him for a commoner which had probably become a mercenary for a reason (be it boredom, debts, or something else). They began to suspect there was more to him than met the eye when he started using his fire powers.Can’t really blame them for that given the Hearthkeepers had been a defunct order since before the Cataclysm.BotR is really a one of a kind accessory. When I first read it, it blew my mind and I knew I just had to fit it into my game. I heartily recommend it to any DM out there in need of a rock-solid pantheon!* Of course, that was only her opinion. All the others were very grateful for her buffing/healing/protecting spells! It was a welcome change (at least to the veterans) from the 'usual' D&D cleric in full plate wading in battle after buffing himself <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
