Or more specifically, we are about to begin our second phase of d&d next playtest, and one of the players wants to play a halfling cleric. Now, I know that halflings have their own immortals, but can a native karameikan halfling belong to the Church of Karameikos or the Church of Traladara? Or are this organizations human only?

Thanks in advnace. I'm a newcomer to Mystara but thought it was the logical place to make the playtest Smile

If it helps I remember The Five Shires Gazetteer - there were no Halfling Clerics. There were Masters which were a kind of Druid prestige class. There was  a Church of Karameikos priest dispatched to the Shires (By the vile Patriarch Odebry - see Grand Duchy of Karameikos for him) to see if the little Heretics could be converted.

You might find ideas on this topic on the Vaults of Pandius which are a pool of creative information on the Mystaran Universe. It is not impossible for some little halfling to have been raised by a Monastary Indeed I had a Halfling from a Traladaran monastic order. I used a template for monks which meant they could be of any class/race as long as they met the requirements of the different ranks of the monastic order.

Monastic Rank........................min LEVEL/INT/WIS
Brother...........................................3/9/9 _ Knowledge (any one), Religion (of the monastic order)
Friar................................................5/13/13
Father.............................................7/16/16
Abbot...........................................9/18/18

Well, I already looked at the Vaults before posting here, but found nothing about non-homans on the church. Anyways, we began our sessions yesterday and I decided to allow the halfling to be a cleric of the Church of Karameikos.

Now my only hope is that my players don't fall on the evilness that they use to show Tongue Out
