My character, Storold, wants to become a cleric, he doesn’t know about the gods and therefore don’t follow a deity. How can this be done? I have though of doing these things;

1.Finding a deity through rp with other characters
2.Then requesting a cdq to make him a nember of the clergy of the god he chooses to follow

I would like to know if this is the right way to go or if there could be alternative routes to become a cleric. Also I would like some guidance going through these steps or the step you propose.

Yep, that is pretty much what you need to do in order to switch to a cleric class. Find others of faith (clerics, paladins, druids etc.) and RP in game about their gods and such and once your character decides go ahead and make a request in your approved character to add the cleric classes. Once that has been approved you are good to go...you don't really need a CDQ for this but it is okay if you want to have one run.

I have spoken to a few on the team and we have decided that to multi-class in to a character of faith (cleric, paladin, druid etc.) should indeed always require a CDQ. So please make sure you apply for it when the time is right.

Ok, I'll do that but it'll take some time getting to choose a deity so I wont request one right now

Ok, here's a good one. If I'm a paladin of Torun, do I need to do a CDQ to multiclass over to Cleric? Or Could it be RP'd by a holy warrior of Torun semi-retiring and becoming more focused in his faith?

I would think that a Paladin holds a higher commitment to their god than a Cleric.

I would think so. You'd at least need an updated bio and a chracter development thread.
Besides, they're fun

Well have choosen a diety now...
I would like to have some advice on how I should proceed becoming a cleric. I know that it would require a cdq, but I would like some ideas how to rp Storolds becoming a faithfull of Lucinda.

Pibemanden · « **Reply #12 on:** August 22, 2005, 02:46:00 pm »

Well I am in need of ideas for the cdq, I really don't know what the team would ask of Storold to make him a cleric of Lucinda.
I thought of meeting up with some of the other clerics and swear some kind of oath or prove myself worthy of becoming a cleric. Is this good enough, or should I do something else, please share your ideas...

Did you read the 21 pages on the Church of Lucinda in the new Handbook?

Sorry thought that the handbook would say the same as the forum page...
I have some reading to do then, will read it asap.

Thanks for making me read the manual, I really got enlightend there. Before I was thinking of making Storold a 10/10 cleric-mage, and then go for paladin at epic. Now that I found the Lucinda's chapter of protection, which would fit better for Storold rp-wise but not stat-wise, I got the idea of building him 10/10 mage-paladin and then maybe later an epic cleric. I have got some good ideas for his cdq from reading this as well...

You're welcome, you found one of the reasons that we have it

I just want a quick question answered before I apply for a cdq. I have a level up right now, can I save it for the end of the cdq?

I disagree; A Paladin is a warrior in the cause of the Church. The cleric is the church.

While the deity is tantamount to the Cleric, I believe that it's more the cause that's important to Paladin, and upholding good above all else. I've never really enjoyed the idea of a Paladin with a Deity anyways...

Always figured they got their powers for being "pure". Re: Quest for Glory series.

Well now I have choosen a diety and are on the way to requesting the cdq. I just want to make sure that my plot will make Storold able to join the ranks of Lucinda's chapter of protection.
I was thinking that since he has spend some time studying as an initiate at the temple in spellgard he should become aware of the fact that his oppinions on attack spells don't go to well with the church's standpoint. He can't seem to become a cleric, and therefore he discovers the chapter of protection. He wont be able to become a nember though before he has proven to the church and the chapter that he can be trusted and that he's going to defend the church from harm.
Therefore he has to get a magic artifact from a mage who abandoned the church and now are roaming free on Mistone.
