Reading through some old posts yesterday, I revisited the whole king of spells debate; Sorceror vs Cleric Mage.

I have no intention of reopening the debate here, but I was tempted by the question...what if you could have both? A sorcerous cleric? Oh, okay, just a sorceror with cleric spells. Or a cleric mage with the versatility of the sorceror.

So I opened shadowkeeper. And created...a true child of bhaal. Or quite possible bhaal himself.

Sadly, it wasn't possible (that I could see) to make it work quite the same way. I can assign a fixed number of castings of each cleric spell, which refresh on resting and apply to images. But it's specific to the spell, not the spells levels. e.g 3 minor healing + 3 armour of faith + ... and not 3 of either minor healing or AoF or...

I'm very tempted now to solo a char of this kind...but I'm looking for suggestions to balance the char. It'll have to be managed in shadowkeeper, of course, but I don't mind that much.
