[br]Here is a question I would like to pose to the sages�

Would the deities of Faerun grant a collaboration of domain powers to a cleric?

Would such lead to a prestige class?  Most prestige classes I have read on are very focused to a specific deity.

Or would one have to multiclass as a Cleric/Cleric (Can clerics multiclass as clerics?)

Example:

A Guardian of Dawn �  (LG) A cleric who venerates both Helm and Lathlander.  Serve as protectors and guardians against undead in places where such creatures are rampant.

A Guardian of Dusk � (LE) A cleric who venerates both Helm and Shar.  Effective as guardians in dark places whose vision can penetrate the darkness they use as a shield for themselves.

Ok these are just two quick examples I was thinking about�I would gather many other combos could be possible among the various deities�..but [i]would[/i] they be possible at all?  From a powers sense?  From a hierarchical sense?

I cannot really rationalize, why deities would agree to such.  Perhaps minor deities would see such cooperation as a way to gain a greater following, by piggybacking their domains and ideology in conjunction with a greater power.  But what would the greater power gain (perhaps access by a dedicated follower to areas of a portfolio not granted to normal clerics somehow enhances the deities status or profile slightly)?

Or are these questions simply inane and am I 'off my rocker'? [:OD]

Chyron	Posted - 05 Jun 2006 : 15:25:35 Ah...thanks scrererar, I will dig it out and take a look.
scererar	Posted - 05 Jun 2006 : 15:10:55 Check out the triadic knight in Champions of Valor. A character of this PRC, has Ilmater, Torm, and/ or Tyr. Additionally, there are some notes on how this Prc would work with other God/ goddesses.
Kentinal	Posted - 05 Jun 2006 : 11:28:11 Basically one can not muliclass in the same class, so the rest does not matter much. If Cleric/Cleric were permitted the spell casting levels would not stack. Turning might. In effect though to serve two deities one would need to fall and have to atone before can serve the 2nd deity.
KnightErrantJR	Posted - 05 Jun 2006 : 11:07:18 Well, I can't comment on the overall topic just now, but Helm and Shar absolutely hate one another, so without a serious heresy going on, that one isn't very likely (though obviosly there could be some heresy similar to this, since there is one that says that Shar and Selune are one in the same, and they hate one another as well).
