Subject: AD&D: New priest kit (Moon Guards)

HI, I run a Forgotten Realms AD&D2 campaing - soon too be Ravenloft. 
One of the things that I was dissapointed NOT to find in the FR
Adventures book was that there were no specialty Priests dedicated to a
particular alliance of Gods. The AD&D1 cyclopedia listsed several
groups of gods that frequently worked together, and I have created a few
specialty priests to compensate for this. I would love any and all
criticism, as they have not yet been introduced into the campaign yet.

For those Running Ravenloft Campaigns, these priests might both be
able to work in the demi-plane.


Moon Guards

Portfolio: Protectors of Night Travellers (Worshippers of Mystra and Selune)

Other Notes:
Moon Gaurds (I hate the Name too) are a dual class character. They
Must have been a mage or a specialist mage who has attained 6th level
before switching to the priest clas. They can take this class any time
thereafter, and cease gaining experience as a mage. They do NOT,
however, lose the ability to use their mage powers. They operate as
both classes whatever priest level they are. They do NOT, however, gain
new proficiencies or hit points until they surpass their origional
level. And, finally, they can only cast their priest spells beneath the
night sky. (This offsets the use of their mage abilities, as well as the
number of major spheres).

This religion is a small secretive sect dedicated to those who
travel by night. The church is not very organized - they have no
temples of their own (being content to worship under the light of the
moon), but they are welcome amoung the priests and priestsesses fo
either Goddess. They fight as a priest of their level, and wander the
night looking to aid those in trouble. They will help fight off bandits
and monsters - usually asking for nothing in return. They will not
ignore a night time cry for aid, and most often travel alone.
