Starting Levels

[hyme]

May I submit a character
as a Cleric 5th Level, Monk 1st level and progress in ONLY the Monk Class.

Basically Start as a Monk 1, with 5 levels of cleric and NEVER go back to Cleric?

Or do I need to have a 1st level Cleric, play him till level 5
THEN
CDQ
to request for 1st level Monk ?

The latter.  All characters start at level one, and there are no exceptions to this rule.

As indicated in your character submission thread, your options are as follows:
[list=1]

• Apply as both monk and cleric, start as a monk, take however many levels you plan to take in that discipline, then leave the monastic route in favour of the path of the priest.
• Apply as a cleric only, take levels in the priesthood, then apply for (and successfully complete) a CDQ to start along the path of the Monk.

Bear in mind, also, that once you start along the Monk path, you have to take at least five levels before leave the path.

Hope that helps!
