Hi! I'm the DM for a D&D 3.5 campaign which has been ongoing since January. For the entire time we've been in need of a Cleric. That role was filled by an NPC who has since turned "evil" (perhaps fanatical is a better term -- a long story) and so is no longer with the party. They are now partnered with a new cleric, a Lantern Archon named Sharra. Frankly, it's getting more and more difficult for me to NPC a spellcaster and cover all the other functions of the game. Therefore, I'm putting it out there to see if anyone would be interested in joining our group to take on the role of the archon. Characters of other classes are pretty well covered (we have a ranger/bard, a fighter, a rogue, and a wizard) so we only need someone who is willing to take on that character. Anyone out there love playing clerics? (I guess there's no special reason why you need to play the archon -- you could always make another cleric to join, but lantern archons are kinda cool and have some nice flying and light abilities.)

What you need to know about the campaign

We are playing 95% normal 3.5 edition rules, with the following changes:
- We don't use the core magic system, but instead have developed a skill-based system that uses spell points. Briefly, each school is a skill and different level spells have a DC to cast. Divine casters use a caster-level check instead. If your roll succeeds you spend spell points, if not you don't and try again next round. It works out pretty well. You'll see. Oh, and spell points refresh at a rate equal to your level per hour.
- Every PC has three "hero points" every session they can use for a reroll of the dice.
- No attacks of opportunity, unless you're holding action.
- Somewhat low magic world. There are NO magic shops. In fact, recently in the game world, arcane magic has been made illegal.
- The characters are members of a special group called the Order of the Silver Rune, which grants them a class defense bonus. This means they don't bother with armor -- they're just that cool. Any characters who are not Silver Rune (like the archon) don't get that bonus.
- Campaign world is Goodman Games' Aereth, though we're not simply doing dungeon crawls.
- Good balance between combat and roleplay. The characters are embroiled in a campaign-long plot that is just now beginning to heat up.
