12-17-06, 04:20 PM I'm trying to make a sort of warrior cleric but can't find a PrC that fits what I'm looking for. I want him to gain some good combat abilities and don't mind sacrificing spellcasting levels (as long no less than half the PrC levels add to caster level)

I have acces to most splat books and if I don't have one I can get it. Any setting is accepted and I would prefer to be able to stick with the PrC through most of it (so no take 1 in this, than 2 in that, then 1 in this)

Level 20

P.S. Scythe is my weapon of choice

12-17-06, 04:29 PM My advice to you would be this: Cleric 20. I know it's a bit over-mntioned around here, but they're already potent warriors, especially with the right self-buffs.

If you insist on a PrC, I can't think of a decent one that fits this idea. Hopefully, someone else has better knowledge.

Or skip the Church Inquis levels.

PrC paladin is in Unearthed Arcana and the SRD
Fist of Raziel is in Book of Exalted Deeds.

Divine Meta (Quicken)
Power Attack
Maybe divine might.

12-17-06, 04:32 PM Fist of Raziel (BoED) and Windwalker (Faiths & Pantheons) are both melee classes. But both of them require Weapon Focus in certain weapons, so you either change weapon, waste a feat, or ask your DM to change the prereqs.

Or there's Sanctified Mind (Lords of Madness), and Cyran Avenger (Five Nations).

But really, any Cleric class can do melee with Divine Power & Righteous Might.

FoR needs Power Attack and Servant of the Heavens.

Well, the DM is making a house rule for this particular campaign that allows us to spend extra XP to get +1 to caster level in a PrC where one is usually not allowed, everyone is given enough XP to put us half way to 21 unless we take advantage of it, then we are barely lvl 20. (he likes powerful PCs)
