11-03-05, 12:08 AM I need a good race for a Cleric, preferrably without a level adjustment. Hm, and I think that's all I really need. My next character is going to be an (insert race here) Cleric of the Time and Nature philosophies, Neutral/Neutral Evil in alignment. Thanks.

11-03-05, 12:18 AM The two biggest candidates are human and PHB elf; the first for the extra feat and skill point and the second for cleric archer goodness.

11-03-05, 08:03 AM If you like melee tanking, Dwarf and War domain grants you dwarven waraxe proficiency + WF. But a shield + one hander is so-so for a caster, so I still prefer human (going for greatsword and perhaps PA+Cleave at level 1).

The +0 LA Lesser Aasimar is quite nice too.

11-03-05, 10:50 AM Azurin is nice, because it still gets a bonus feat and the substitution level grants you an ability to use in place of turn undead that still works with divine feats. :D

Then take a level in sacred exorcist to gain turn undead and double your divine capability.

11-03-05, 12:40 PM Any of the PHB races work fine for a Cleric. Half-Orc Cleric of St. Cuthbert (Strength and Destruction) could be fun.

Aasimar is about the only +1 LA race that is worthwhile.

11-03-05, 12:47 PM The duskling from incarnum is pretty good, +2con -2nt. Beats gnome & dwarf because ther medium but you lose int, not cha. Cha is better for clerics as it helps with turning etc.
