Has anyone done a conversion of specialty priests to prestige classes, either writing their own or adapting the Wizard's ones? I'm currently trying to assign prestige classes to faiths and orders (monks and paladins too) using the 'Complete' series and T. Costas' work. Just wondering if anyone else has done this and if they had suggestions.

I see that we are approaching things from different angles. ^_^ Which is a good thing.

To give you an example of where I'm coming from:


Cleric of Erevan Ilesere.

BAB: Medium
Fortitude: Poor
Reflex: Good
Will: Poor
Hit Die: D6
Skill Points: 4+ int bonus
Class Skills:
Balance, Bluff, Concentration, Craft, Disguise, Escape Artist, Forgery, Hide, Knowledge (religion), Knowledge (local), Move Silently, Perform, Profession, Slight of Hand, Spellcraft, Swim, Tumble, Use Rope.

Weapons and Armor:
Proficient in light armor.
Weapons as per rogue.

A Cleric of Erevan Ilesere casts spells as a Favored Soul (Complete Divine), including spells per day, spells known and using Charisma as spells per day. They do not use wisdom to determine how hard the spells are to resist, however. They use charisma for this also. They do not get any of the other benefits of being a Favored Soul. (Weapon focus, energy resistance, etc.)

A Cleric of Erevan Ilesere has no power over undead.

At first level, a cleric of Erevan Ilesere can cast Faerie fire 0+ Cha modifier times per day. (SU, innate ability)

At fifth level, the cleric is always under the effects of a Non-detections spell (DC 15+caster level +cha modifier.) Unlike many innate abilities, the cleric can not suppress this ability. (SU)



I'm sure there needs to be more granted powers and the like (or maybe more skills and skill points?), but I honestly haven't thought of them yet. But, that's the gist of what I'm doing. Making the flavor match the mechanics. Most of the stuff I do have written down (also, like yourself, handwritten) is flavor text for the priesthood. With the removal of specialty priests in 3.x, I've found the cleric to be way to generic, and this is my solution.

Unfortunately, most of my notes are scrawled by hand into an old notebook. An example of the type of thing I've done:

AKADI (neutral deity of elemental air, movement, speed, and flying creatures)

Classes: cleric, shugenja (among the tuigan)

Domains: Air, Illusion, Travel, Trickery

Orders:
airwalkers - - - - - Elemental Archon (Faiths and Pantheons)
Knights of the Winds of the Four Quarters - - Divine Champion (Player's Guide to Faerun)
Companions of the Summer Wind - - - - - Mystic Wanderer (Magic of Faerun)
Disciples of the Spring's Breeze - - - - - Mystic Wanderer
Alliance of the Midwinter's Teeth - - - - - Mystic Wanderer

Bonus Skill (add to skill list): Perform (instrument)

If there is anything specific you want to see, let me know.

Dogma, right down to petty stuff like “thou shalt” and “thou shalt not” details, special underwear - - the works. Plus aims (what secular stuff is the priesthood ‘up to’ or trying to achieve), intrigue (what do priests of the same faith argue about/try to change about their own church/do to each other when they’re trying to be nasty), and outlook: what’s “fun” to a priestess of Shar? A priestess of Ilmater? A priestess of Loviatar? What do they do on their “time off,” if they’re given any?
Game mechanics that say, “Oh, you’re now level X and so can now do the Quivering Forefinger of Holy Harrowing” are all very nice, but I need the churchlore as well to put it in context, or it really isn’t that much different from saying, “you’re a fighter but better than other fighters, because you get special powers and attacks they don’t - - because you put on this holy tabard and claim to serve God X, so you get THIS cool new power at level Y, and this other one at level Z,” and so on.
It doesn’t matter when Ed Greenwood is my DM and we’re playing intensive roleplaying, but I’ve seen too many gamers at conventions who really do play priests as selfish fighters with special powers and a “holy righteous act” (I’ll heal your character, but only if he gives ME that gold cup we just got). Playing a priest should MEAN something; it should shape the character’s entire life, not be something we scribes have to be asking basic questions about.



I'd love to see that, too -- especially for Selûne and Lurue.

I'd beat a crippled halfling with a rubber hose for that information. And, if Ed Greenwood desperately wants to print it, does that me he has it written up already? Hmm, maybe I should just, like, once a week, post in the "Ask Ed" thread about a particular priesthood's details. *grin* (I'm sure I'm not the first one to think of this…)

People seem to meet "That Guy" a lot, the player who makes a priest (usually because the party "needs healing") and then has no clue at all about the religion. I, thankfully, have never met them. (Although I have met his cousins :p)

I LOVE playing clerics. I adore it. So the above is particularly heinous to me. The fun part of playing a priest is being…well, a Priest/ess. I'm not a healing potion on legs, I'm a servant of my god, a representation of their divine will because the will of my god reflects what is in my heart.

And not just for clerics. I've a character in the sidelines that I'm itching to play; a fighter who's mother is a priestess of Selune (and who's father is a "striking figure of an elf, who forgot to tell me his name" according to mom). The character has lived his whole life with Selune, and even tried to be a cleric, but just didn't cut it ("Selune has other plans for you, baby-boy" sayeth mom). However, he is an active participant in his church and faith. He's totally in love with Selune.

But, I end up with "I like the moon!"

Must have more info!!

EDIT: Sorry for this, but I'm still new and I'm allowed to be starstruck. I just replied to a Knight of Myth Drannor! Reading the bit in Spellfire where the Knight's show up and start doing some kung-fu is what made me decide that I wanted to know more about the realms. They just had this…fellowship that was so wonderful. That is STILL to me, the heart of the Realms.

Okay, gushing mode now set to off. Sorry.

That said, work on Prestige in the Realms Volume II has begun (though I won't hazard a web publication date -- it'll probably be a few months or more.)

Jindael, I totally agree with your follow-up to my comments on PrCs.

You're welcome. Clerics should be more varied. This is something I've been working on for a while now. I'm leaning toward the idea of variant classes.

Something like this might work for clerics. They could possibly only be proficient in the deities favored weapon and armor, in exchange for a bonus skill and extra ability.



I have the book, but it's loaned out. -_- I'll be sure to take a look at that, though. I wasn't aware it was there. Thanks for the tip. Just from what you typed, it looks like very simple soulutions to what I want. *wants book back now*

More importantly, in the case of clerics, they simply lack the flexibility of say fighters or rogues to cover all the possible types of gods and their portfolios, making PrCs a great opportunity to try and capture more of the faith. (I actually think each cleric should have some more minor customization besides just domains -- perhaps bonus class skills and a bonus skill point each level or bonus feat as well as automatic proficiency in the god's favored weapon -- but balance could get a bit tricky here). In addition, if done properly, PrCs give you a mechanism to build more balance into things. For example, not every cleric PrC needs to start at level 6 and have 10 levels. It could start at level 9 and have only 1 or 3 or whatever levels.



Or, potentially, a PrC (or substitution levels) that starts at level 1, allowing a significant focus on the deities portfolios. Giving a cleric of Mystra additional feats for metamagic and item creation only, and a few more skill points in exchange for a d4 hit die, or giving a cleric of Oghma bardic knowledge in exchange for the heavy and medium armor feats.

Giving any cleric proficiency in their deities favored weapon seems like a no-brainer to me. A cleric of Tyr who takes the Knowledge and Law domains (a more magistrate style cleric) should still be schooled in the use of the Longsword, even though they didn't take the War domain.

And it doesn't have to be just substitutions. A cleric of Milil, for example, should be required to have a few ranks in Perform (Sing), all spells now have a verbal component (as all of their prayers are sung), and they may not take the Silent Spell metamagic feat. Alternatively, as a substitution level, a cleric of Milil gets a bonus to their perform (sing) equal to their level, or perhaps one half their level (cleric level only, although it should stack with bard.) In addition, a cleric of Milil suffers no XP penalties when multiclassing as a bard.

Like most Dietys whose portfolio's don’t cover some form of direct conflict, I don't see cleric's of Milil ever bothering to each their acolytes to wear heavy or medium armor. Yes, the realms are dangerous, but a chain shirt and a rapier (A light armor and Milil's favored weapon) should be more than ample teachings for combat in the clergy of Milil.

Tossing in a granted power aside from those granted from Domains (such as giving a cleric of Milil the Countersong ability, or perhaps Inspire Confidence) would be fair enough to lower their HD to a D6.

Just some ideas as to what I'm shooting at. Clerics in the realms should be as unique as the deity they serve, and I don't feel that Domain powers quite cover the difference.

Hey Tom

Have you got anymore Faithes of Faerun articles in the works for Dragon?

We havent seen any in a while........
TomCosta Posted - 21 Mar 2005 : 18:47:50
Quote: Let's not forget that we've got the cleric prestige classes we have not because the designers thought it was a good idea, but because they thought players wanted prestige classes. Compare the later "Faiths of Faerûn" articles to this, from the first (Dragon #284): quote: The new D&D game restores the core abilities of the cleric, while giving them the feel of specialty priests through the use of domains. It also allows for a breadth of character customizability through the new multiclassing rules, the addition of feats and skills, and prestige classes. In converting to the new D&D, DMs and players might be tempted to take those specialty priests and transfer them each into a prestige class. Our advice: don't. Instead, try to use the tools provided by the new system. You're more likely to come out with a more focused and balanced character. Start by looking for the core concept of the specialty priest. Often the FORGOTTEN REALMS specialty priests were clerics with a touch of something else -- a little fighter, some wizards, some rogue, or even some bard.

********************8
A: I don't know that I totally agree. While most of the 2E specialty priests convert fine without a PrC, using good selection of domains, feats, skills, and some multiclassing, with so many FR gods, it was inevitable that more than a few just didn't convert that well, especially those that had powers that didn't correspond to existing spells. I think that quote was directed toward the often lack of balance between specialty priests in 2E and the equally inevitable power inflation that occurred through 2E.

More importantly, in the case of clerics, they simply lack the flexibility of say fighters or rogues to cover all the possible types of gods and their portfolios, making PrCs a great opportunity to try and capture more of the faith. (I actually think each cleric should have some more minor customization besides just domains -- perhaps bonus class skills and a bonus skill point each level or bonus feat as well as automatic proficiency in the god's favored weapon -- but balance could get a bit tricky here).

The only second edition stuff I currently own is the DM's high level campaign book and The Complete Book of Elves. (Which I think isn't unbalanced at all *waits for the gasps*)

Which hurricanes? I'm on the Space Coast -- we caught a tiny piece of Charlie, a little of Ivan, and all of Frances and Jeanne... Luckily, all I lost was $20 of groceries and a whole lot of being comfortable.

I've done a lot of bidding on eBay. It's relatively easy, and so long as the person you're dealing with has good feedback, it's a good chance you'll get what you want. You can PM me on it, if you want more info.
