01-04-06, 07:04 AM Hi all

I have a Sorcerer 5/Divine Oracle 5/Sacred Exorcist 15. I have 32 Charisma for a +11 bonus. I have Turn Undead as a 15th-level cleric.

I have two (non-epic) feat slots. What Divine feat(s), if any, is best for a Charisma-based arcane caster? My other stats aren't really worth writing home about, and my other feats are Educated, Skill Focus (Religion), Spell Penetration, Greater Spell Penetration, Arcane Mastery, and Improved Initiative.

01-04-06, 10:40 AM Arcane Disciple isn't a Divine feat though. Divine feats are those feats that make use of your Turn Undead uses per day - since I'll be sub par at actually turning undead, and I'll have loads of uses per day because of immense Charisma, I thought I'd see if I could put them to use somehow.

01-04-06, 12:01 PM or divine metamagic if you have 2 free feats, take quicken and divine meta quicken if you plan on being a gish why lose the attacks per round when you can swing 4x in a round and quicken heal yourself or toss a destruction for a save for 10d6 or die (and per the wording on divine metamagic) you can use it to alter your arcane spells as well. =x

01-04-06, 12:02 PM Grab yourself a Mithral Buckler (no spell failure, no armor check penalty) and take Divine Shield; +11 armor class for however long it lasts.

EDIT: Scratch that, you need shield proficiency first. There's one from Libris Mortis that makes you immune to energy and ability drain/damage for 1 minute. I forget what it's called. Sacred Vitality I think.

The erratta states that Divine Metamagic only works on Divine spells.

01-04-06, 12:06 PM Shame about Divine Metamagic, although I am wary of it because of it's near-cheating cheese factor. Also, as a Sorcerer Quicken Spell is useless to me, even Divine'd.

I will have to check out Libris Mortis, I had forgotten it had Divine feats in.

The Sacred Healing one is tempting, but I was always worried about its effectiveness - Fast Healing 3, even for 11 rounds is not that great. I can't remember whether Divine Oracle or Sacred Exorcist has Heal as a class skill, either, meaning it would be 16 skill ranks to qualify for.
