[QUOTE="EricNoah, post: 311544, member: 4"] Speciality Priests can be modelled in two ways (and you can combine them): domains, and prestige classes. However, with either or both you still get someone who can tank up quite a bit, particularly with armor. Here are my thoughts on some very minor tweaks you can make to the core cleric class to create something slightly less martial. 1) Replace Heavy Armor Proficiency with either Scribe Scroll or Extra Turning. 2) Take away both Heavy Armor and Medium Armor and replace with BOTH Scribe Scroll and Extra Turning. 3) Look at some of the Divine feats in Defenders of the Faith -- particularly the ones that allow you to use your Turn Undead attempts for other things. Maybe swap one of those in for that Scribe Scroll feat instead. Combine these with domain selection, feat selection, multiclassing options, and you've got yourself some variety. Look to a book like the FR Faiths and Pantheons for examples of prestige classes as paths to becoming a "specialty priest." You could also consider designing new domains -- maybe a unique domain for each god. [/QUOTE]
