He knows that as long as he is a cleric, he cannot become a WoHS (and is thus a renegade), as that would set up some conflict in regards to god worship. My question is this: if he were to change his cleric lvls to mystic for whatever reason, would he then be considered for candidancy for a WoHS, or would that be frowned upon? The reason I ask is I believe I've heard mention somewhere that the gods of magic currently have a 'hands off' approach in regards to the new forms of magic on Krynn, so in theory they wouldn't outright attack this character, but I'm not sure if making the change from cleric to mystic would be an acceptable change for consideration for someone to join the WoHS. What do you guys think?

I would say such devotion is similar to that of a paladin or monk. As you know, you can't have more than one patron deity, so no cleric/wizards. You also can't be both a focused and an ambient spellcaster, as the two types of energy are different. And again, having those mystic levels would take away from a WoHS' total devotion to High Sorcery. The mystic theurge could be done with a cleric/renegade wizard. However, the role is best represented by a sorcerer/mystic in Dragonlance. Here's an article I wrote a while back that may give you some ideas on how to tackle the mystic theurge. Mystic Theurges of Krynn Hope that helps.

He picked up Wizard up until lv 4 he was then approched to take the test and refused to do it... said he wont get stronger in magic since he dont like that a lot... and then, he turned to Hiddukel, Prince of lies!! got a few lv as a cleric of hiddukel and now he is a mystic theurge. AND, its awesome roleplay because he have another character playing a wizard in the team. so its full of bluff, sleight of hand.. always hidding his magic. Thats one of the big roleplaying point in my game. its just awesome.
