Well, I'd be taking it to advance my spellcasting as well, of course.  It was just one of the only Cleric archetypes I saw with a good skill progression, and the other ones are also third party. ^^; I will agree that it seems to give a bit too much in exchange for too little, so I'm not really expecting it to be approved, but I don't think it would be overpowered for me to take, or even overpowered in a regular game, compared to a normal Cleric.  It would get to save a bit of money on equipment, thanks to the Mind is Body ability, and the access to spontaneous Haste would benefit the entire party, starting at level 5, but at low levels you're basically giving up the Healing role in order to focus more on Buffing.<br/><br/>Maybe if it also traded in Channel Energy...<br/><br/>Either way, if you've got any good suggestions for prestige classes, I'd love to hear them.  I can't find anything good on the Pathfinder SRD, and nothing from 3.5 is coming to mind.
