Small piece of advice on spell choices. Choose spells you intend to cast repeatedly. I'd suggest against duplicating spells of a similar nature. Go for spells with a broad utility. Summon spells are useful, but I'd skip a level in between. Being able to fly gets you out of many jams, but will move you away from the party.

Variety is the spice of life, and the key to successful sorcery.

they would be treated like the dnd slaves to the drow if not worst.

Cheliax serves the House of Thrune. Cheliax is a land of laws. Arcane and devious laws, but laws never the less. So, your notion that they are treated worse than drow slaves is base hyperbole at best.

The exacts of slave life escape me at the moment, as I don't have the Cheliax booklet with me, but IIRC it has some the laws regarding Chelaxian slavery in it. ISTR that you can be placed into slavery for debt, but that is for a limited time, and any excess monies go to your family. By law, such slaves cannot be damaged by their owners during their enslavement, as they will become freed men again. Also, children of slaves are slaves, and the majority of house slaves are halflings. May wish to look at the Bellflower Network in the Factions book.

Feel like I showed up late for the party. Ah well, here's my two cents.

From my pov, Erastil is old and set in his ways. ("This is how things were done in my day. They worked then, and they work now!") He's got a religion that works. You don't exist as long as he does if you're offering something people don't want.

As far as women in his church go (and this is IMHO), I beleive that as long as they are contributing to the greater good of the community, he's going to be pleased, but he might complain on occassion. ("When's the Wilkins girl gonna get married?")

Finally, I agreed with those that have commentted about abusive husbands being 'persuaded' from abusing their wives and kids by being beaten. I would add that clerics have a variety of spells that would be useful in discouraging such cruel behaviour. Also, clerics or Erastil would likely be called on before the marriage to act as councelors. ("Girl, he's no good for you!")

As far Erastil being sexist, yeah he's sexist. He's sexist like your elderly male relative is sexist. The old coot is a jerk, but he wants what's best for you. He's just a little out of step with the times. He's still one hell of a shot with a bow.
