Priest/Trader?

[Chenier]

While it would fix many of the issues in the current discussion, is there really enough for a lone Merchant/Trader to do that would justify its own main class?

As opposed to a courtier?

I'm fine with traders being a main class, but I really, really think there should be a religious subclass for less church-inclined individuals to still be able to spread the faith (crusaders, merchants).

I've never played a Courtier.

It'd certainly be interesting.  Warrior/(religious) being a sterotypical Crusader or fantasy-style Paladin...
