I am currently working on a 20 level Base Class, a cleric variant called a Priest
I have seen lots of Priests classes on here but the specific thing I want to do with this class that makes it a little different is this...
I wish to build a Priest who is devoted to a Pantheon of Deities instead of the worship of a single god.
In ancient cultures the Priests of the lands usually devoted themselves to the worship of many gods and were their followers connection to all of their deities. Not just one.
Especially in small communities where the people only tend to have one Priest that priest needs to be able to sermonize and commune with all their dieties instead of just one.
I am currently planning for a d6 class with 4 + int skill points and 1/2 B.A.B. with a good Will save and simple weapon and medium armor proficiency. I am working on a spell list as well.
I need help figuring out a few class abilities to make it a little more unique
I am uncertain whether I want Turn Undead at all or not, and would appreciate some suggestion on that end.
The spell list is going to be mostly buff spells and divinations and healing spells. The class is supposed to be a healer and a proselytizer who works almost always with followers of his deities whom he empowers with the strength of his deities. The Priest is not intended to be a blaster caster or a save or die caster.
I am also thinking that some kind of "Sudden Chain" power that could only be used to include worshippers of his pantheon.
anybody got anything for me?
