[The Philosopher]

I would like to pose a query.

What of Champions of Torm (arguably nothing more or less than the Divine Champion class with a far too specific naming)? Should they, too, not have clergy status, as paladins and blackguards do?

I would argue that it is a PrC as closely tied to faith as paladins and blackguards, despite their militaristic tendencies, which they do share with the former. Doubly so since the Divine Champion class is a stand-in for such deities as cannot sponsor paladins directly, such as Chaotic and Neutral deities.

Could they not be added in to the general classes allowed to progress down the Temple paths of power?
