I think I'm hooked.  If you decide to go further with this concept, I'll plan on joining up if I am in a good position to do so at that time.

I have a couple more questions.  A lot of the Pathfinder character archetypes appear to get powers from deities.  Would our characters of such an archetype find themselves dedicating themselves to a deity of Mer's pantheon?  If so is Mer's pantheon basically the same as Pathfinder's pantheon?
