Hail and well met Dm's. I am new to playing nwn online, and your's is the PW that I chose, and I am completely un-dissapointed with the world you created :)

My problem though: In single player nwn, I never played a cleric. I decided to try and make one in your pw, and the first one I created. I made him, got him into the world, started doing delivery quests and got coin from them to purchase him some armor and a longsword. (elven cleric).

Unfortunately, I didnt know that I had to pick a diety. So I couldnt cast spells.

So,.. I made a different cleric, with the same exact name, except for one letter was different. I picked the diety lathander, chose the healing, and MAGIC domains, and clicked him into the game and got my armor off of my first "un-godded" cleric, and put it on this guy. I was all happy, till I got in a group, and realised that picking lathander,... it wouldnt allow me to cast any of the spells I was allowed from picking the magic domain, because it doesnt match with lathanders portfolio.

I didnt know I wouldnt be able to. I figured that I'd pick healing, for lathander, and because of my elven heritage, and the elven ties to magic, that I would pick magic domain as well to represent that. I now though,... am stuck with a cleric that cannot use 1 of his 2 domains. So,... knowing this now, Im going to have to remake my cleric again, and just pick the healing, and sun domains. Now that I know I have to pick the exact domains of the diety.

I'm writing this, because I didnt want you guys to see 3 nearly identical named clerics made on my account, 2 of which will never be past level 2,.. and think that something was fishy.

Thats all. The two mistake clerics are: Morgandothian Gollandal and Morgandothian Gollandel

There is about to be a 3rd one,.. made the right way, with the right domains. I'm sorry for spamming 2 useless charecters onto your server. As soon as I get the 3rd guy running, I'll let you know so that you can delete the other two.

Really sorry about that.

It's really no problem!

Just keep in mind that clerics are a special class. You will need to pick a deity, then pick a corresponding alignment and relevant domains. In addition, a cleric needs to uphold his/her patron's dogma, as well as consider things like enemies of the faith, conversion, prayer and tithing. Spell failure is a very real consequence of straying from your deity and his/her dogma!

Here's a useful link, describing all the deities, as well as their related domains and clerical alignments:

Thank You.

I have made cleric 1.3, and all is in working order. You can delete the two listed clerics from your server lists if you'd like. Im never going to log them on again.

Thanks

Bear in mind also that as soon as you log on you'll get a message letting you know if you can't divine spells, and there's a special deity configuration panel that lets you know what's up and (if possible) adjust it.

How do you get to the diety configuration window?

I picked Lathander,... Healing and Sun domains.

I went into the upper gate, outside of the entrance, and tried to cast "Light".

It wouldnt let me. It says that I am casting a spell that is not appropriate to my diety's domains.

I would have thought that "light",.. would have been appropriate for lathander. No idea why it won't let me cast that simple spell.

It wont even let me cast minor healing on myself. Says it is not matching the domain of my diety.

The message says "Though Lathander is an appropriate forgotten realms diety, you can only cast spells appropriate to your gods domains" Text to that effect.

I just looked in my charecter sheet. I have the sun domain, and healing domain.

*boggles*

The deity configuration panel can be found in the OOC Welcome area, the very first one you log into with a new character. As for your domains--Lathander doesn't have the Healing domain. The link above I posted affirms that he has Good, Protection, Law and Sun domains only.

And just a quick note: the spell being cast (in this case, 'Light') doesn't really matter. As a cleric you'd be able to cast all spells if your alignment/domains are correct.

Hope that helps.

So do you think that me being unable to cast "any" spell, is a result of me choosing the healing domain, as well as sun? Just figured that,.... "healing",.... would be a universal domain for all healers. *shrug*

Would that bug my ability to cast any spells, even from the Sun domain, or any heals at all though?

My alignment is correct for Lathander at Neutral Good. But I guess I'll be making Cleric #4 later tonight regardless.

Faiths of Faerun forum Lathander ... Cleric Alignments: CG, LG, NG NwN Domains: Good, Protection, Strength, Sun

If your domains don't match your deity, you will not be able to cast any spells at all.

Thanks Arkov

This will be my last attempt (and the right one finally) at making my cleric. Am really sorry about it DM's, and thanks for the patience.

...and clicked him into the game and got my armor off of my first "un-godded" cleric, and put it on this guy.

Just a heads up, since your new this will only be a warning, transferring items between your own characters is not allowed under any circumstances UNLESS directly overwieved and allowed by a dm (Due to some freaky ass mistakes or something).

You start out with a specific amount of gold so taking items from a previously created character gives you an edge which is unfair to the other players.
