Hello guys. My cleric is a little combat oriented but still does a damn good job healing.

Domains are Protection and Destruction

But I was wondering...

Prestige classes, which are more useful? Right now I like the idea of Curch Inquisitor, but I think that would limit me to staying at churches investigating things. Detect evil at will is nice. Also, I have been looking at War Priest. They roll a d10, while I roll a d8. Mass heal is nice, and so is martial weapon proficiency. If anyone knows about any other good prestige classes I may be able to take, it would be nice for you to let me know. Thanks :)

Church Inquisitor is the way to go.
If you have the background that is.

It looks limiting at first, but those skills you pick up as a church inquisitor can be used anywhere. If you have a cool enough DM, he can use that to his advantage.

I have played one, and DMed one, and both times had a ball with the character.
I got to throw a lot corruption at the one I DMed, and the BBEG in the campaign I played one turned out to be an Illusionist:D

If you decide to play one, I think you will enjoy the character. Even if you dont, Clerics of St. Cuthbert are a blast.

Should I possibly consult my DM about this? It seems like curch inquisitors need to be in a specific campaign... Maybe I'm not thinking out of the box

When it comes to PrC's you should always consult you DM.
Church Inquisitor can be entered very early. Level 4 iirc. Ask the DM if the class is OK. If so, I think you'd enjoy it. It fits the flavor of St C. incredibly well.

Why Repeekluos? Because of the roles/duties the character picks up when they get a PrC? If that is the case, wouldn't most clerics of most dieties not adventure? Maybe it is just a backround thing. *shrugs* Just wondering, thanks :)


Merethelian: whaaaaaat?

PrCs generally involve quite a bit of flavor, and a lot of the time campaign specific material (Red Wizard of Thay). Others may involve organizations that the DM may not aprove of. (Shadowbane Inquisitors/Stalkers) Some classes may be exempt from the always, I guess. Exotic Weapon Master for example. Either way, its better to be safe than sorry.

If your really aiming for a holy person, Sacred exorcist!

Cleric5/Church Inquisitor 10/Sacred Exorcist 5, have fun !!!

It really builds on common archetypes such as inquisition, battling internal corruption, destroying fiends. As well these prestige classes are great to role-play a very introspective and deep connection to your religion.

Here's how I'd go...
