Mind you, not a cleric/fighter or a Druid/Ranger, she wants to make a Cleric/Ranger. I readily suggested to her that she select Fharlanghn as her patron deity, as a quarterstaff will work with her ranger abilities and fit her thematically. She's in favor of the idea, but otherwise, I don't know what would make an effective character build out of the character. Does anyone have any idea what prestige classes there are that will combine the two into a good build? I can't find any PRCs that will combine BAB, skill points, and caster level (mind you, this would probably be disbalancing anyway, heh). The character is lawful good, but she didn't seem impressed with the swawnmay, so I'm sort of at my wits end with her. Here's what we've got so far: Human Fharlanghn worshipper Cleric/Ranger Melee(quarsterstaff) Can anyone think of good feats or classes to combine the features of cleric and ranger effectively?

nihility 10-20-05, 07:29 PM	I'll kick Windwalker out, which lacks the deity you want but still goes with the concept, as well as Harper Paragon. These might be completely off base if you can't use FR material.
PhaedrusXY 10-20-05, 07:53 PM	Check out the "skilled clerics" link in my sig. Might be something useful in there to you. Alot of the stuff in there has already been mentioned by others, though, and that post is also old (alot of the classes have been updated to 3.5 in other books, and Seeker of the Misty Isle wasn't out yet then).
Funny Slaughter 10-21-05, 03:26 AM	in my opinion windwalker would be another quite perfect choice. at least Shaundukal is kind of a FR pendant to Fharlanghn. it is a bit 3.0ish but one of the greatest PrCs ever, how could i miss my baby... (too focussed on 3.5 methinks) gs Funny
scalpel 10-21-05, 12:27 PM	I'll put in yet another vote for windwalker. I played a similar character for a while and it was a great character. You could easily just change the god the class follows and its a perfect fit.
