Walker in the Waste in Realms

**Mordrigar** · 2011-01-11, 04:52 PM (ISO 8601)

Hello Playgrounders!

I'm about to begin a new campaign and i'm thinking about to choosing Walker in the Waste (from Sandstorm) as a prestige class. (5 Cleric / 10 WIW / 5 XXXX) But i'm not sure which official Deity in Realms have the Sand or Thirst as a domain. Can anyone help with that?

Also, it will be 20th level campaign so i'm open for build suggestions : ) Thanks!

To my knowledge, no deity in faerun has either of those domains. HOWEVER, since some deities (namely those of the Pharonic/Egyptian pantheon) get a revamp in Sandstorm and Deities and Demigods, I highly suggest picking one of those deities. Personally, I'd give Apep Thirst (being a god of fire in a desert-based pantheon)

Might be worth noting that with Sand domain you can enter WotW after your 3rd level in cleric.

I'm assuming he's trying to avoid cheese...

That being said, I adore the WitW, since it technically gives you the best version of a lich in pre-epic and lots of good class features. Heck, there isn't a useless level in the whole class. Too bad clerics and some PrCs are the only ones who can enter... So want to play an Archivist Walker...

That's not cheese. Qualifying after 1st level, yeah, that could be cheese, but qualifying after 3rd isn't really.

Wait, I thought you only had to be able to cast the spells as divine spells, not as domain spells, so archivist (or druid/spirit shaman, I think) could enter easily.

[2.Edit]: And I was right, too. The sample character is a druid, for example.

WHUT?! So my dreams of an Archivist Walker can come true?! All is right in the world. The Colts lost, I have a new job, and now the class I wanted to play since I first laid eyes on Sandstorm can be realised...

Greenish, you made my day. Thank you.

No problems. I should also mention that an archivist can also qualify after 3rd level, if you've found the right spells.

A spontanious cleric could potentialy enter at 2nd level if you really wanted to. Versitile spellcaster cheeze though.

Can you explain clearly please? How?

BTW, i was not looking for a cheesy build but conditions has changed. Someone from party told me he has ~70 AC and +25 on every single save. I think he has found some bugs in system lol.

Still atleast 1 more level of cleric than necessary

I don't believe FR ever got an official update for Sand or Thirst as domains. Neither are in PGtF, nor in Anauroch.

Suggestions would be: Amaunator (LEoF), Talos, At'ar the Merciless, Kossuth, or Set. Part of that would depend on the character concept.

You can cast enough of the sand and thirst domain spells by sacrificeing low level slots to cast higher levels spells. I may have been mistaken, and need an extra level in there, but I remember talking about a build that was lich at 11th level.

Yes, re looked up reqs. Spontanious cleric 1 with the versitile spellcaster feat and heat endurence should do it. No skill or bab reqs, so you can enter at very low level.
