[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1959878, member: 13098"] My first thought was low Wisdom. Strong religious fervor with an inability to keep his mouth shut when it would be prudent to do so. Then you referenced Orrin Porter Rockwell and that clinched it for me. Str 15 Dex 15 Con 13 Int 17 Wis 5 Cha 17 Take rogue as your first level class, a little social skills (persuassive), a little skulking (you don't get ahead by always letting people know where you are), lots of spot and listen (the better to find the heretics and blasphemers with), decent search (it never hurts to know where to find loot, er stuff), and enough cross-class religion to know dogma, even if he doesn't understand the deeper spirituality of it all. As you advance, perhaps add a little fighter here and there. Alternatively, go with a Bard. Focus on Oratory as your Perform. Knowledge is no long cross-class. Your spells aren't divine, but you _think_ they are. You wear light armor because you _choose_ to, not because you have to. ;) I could have a lot of fun with that. Once you get suggestion as a bard power, and you are on the pulpit - "Who else saw Joe Schmuck sneaking around the brothel last Tuesday? I saw him, and he was being quite dodgy. I'm sure it was because he gave into the temptations of the flesh. But I ask because I respect your opinions, who else here thinks that poor sinful Joe needs to atone for his sins at the brothel?"
