For those talking about preistage classes, those are interesting ideas the gods one is rather iffy and won't work in rational causes
As for gaining a preistage class my system goes as follow
Lets say our "hero" has reached level 20, which means his can learn a preistage class...Why level 20? Because a blacksmith doesn't become a master after learning how to smith and craft with copper. Priestage classes should be looked at...How your character progresses over time, but anyways. Our "hero" has filled the requirements to train as a paladin and the requirements for legionnaire or can just stay as a fighter. Our "hero" decides to follow the path of a paladin...He then is given several trials and quests which would include a trial of honor and a quest of faith, aswell as a few others...Once these trials and quests are complete our "hero" is and will level up as a paladin from then on out.
Our "hero" will only beable to level 10 times as a paladin (Meaning 20 fighter levels + 10 paladin levels = 30)

Also as a side note: I do have a paladin as a preistage class which would be focused as a fighter but with low level preist spells (like level 1-3 preist spells or so) aswell as preistage class abilties and skills aswell as enhance previous abilties and skills
