Roleplaying / Re: New cleric, strictness to clergy favouritism

« on: May 10, 2006, 06:23:28 AM »

I could say that a hasted cleric in plate mail runs as fast as a ranger in leather with longstrider, but I see what you mean.

I like role playing for 2 reasons - taking on a different persona of course, but I also like the challenge of studying a system to create an effective rounded character. Min-maxing I dislike, I will rarely if ever have any stat below 10, but I do like creating characters that can handle any situation. Unfortunately, this usually means choosing very specific domains and equipment for clerics, testing out many different fighter builds for effectiveness, and trying to get the best out of shifting and casting for druids.

This usually means I will have to build backstory and character information with a specific build in mind, and when playing with pencil and paper this usually turns out fine.

Maybe I'll have to try a new challenge - creating a character with enough flaws to need help but not so much that I get sick of playing a character who is helpless solo ^^

Thanks for your help

Roleplaying / New cleric, strictness to clergy favouritism

Just how strict do clerics have to be to their clergy favoured equipment? Do ALL clerics of Kithairien wear leather and wield a spear? No one wears light blue full plate, and uses a halberd while under haste from the travel domain? There are so few gods that I like the sound of, and they all have equipment biases I am not terribly fond of(I like martial weapons, but not gods that are pure warlike).  Does it matter terribly if my cleric's equipment strays from the norm? Thanks
