Suddenly, Jess's undead-zapper wasn't going to be available.
So now BoB felt he needed to make an undead-zapper, because that would be most effective in Ravenloft.
Yes, I think you've got the sequence correct. And my motivation to make an turn&burn IS motivated by the lack of one in the party after we had discussed and said we needed one.
That was my first comment about character design: we need a strong cleric who's good at turning/destroying undead. and i volunteered for that from the beginning.
then jess said he was also thinking about doing a cleric and so i made my cleric the protection/buff guy.
but if jess isn't going to be available a lot, IMO, a turn&burn cleric will be more useful to the party. that was my very first impulse, after all.
sorry if that seems to metagamey, that was just our original plan.
