11-14-05, 02:10 PM I am working on a Paladin 4\Rogue 1\Shadowbane Stalker 5\Shadowbane Inquistor 10 (not in that order) and I still haven't decided on many of my feats. Since I don't anticipate going up against undead very frequently and when we do I won't have a very impressive turning check, I'm looking into the Divine feats available, so I can still get some use out of my turning ability. I have never used any of the Divine feats in a build and haven't spent too much time examining them. Obviously Divine Metamagic is the King of the Divine Feats, but since I will have caster level 4 at 20th level and be limited to 1st level paladin spells (my Wis isn't high enough to warrent 2nd level bonus spells, which is the only way I'd get them) I think this is not the way to go. So far only my first level feats have been detirmined and they are Power Attack, and Improved Sunder.

My question to you, the CO community, is what are the best Divine feats other than DM?

11-14-05, 02:16 PM The two Divine feats that I like are

Sacred Vitality from Libris Mortis and Divine Vigor from Complete Warrior.

Both are useful in basically any situation, especially Divine Vigor.

Divine Might = Chamod to Damage uses 1 turn as a free action

11-14-05, 02:34 PM Divine Might is my favorite, mainly cause it doesn't waste actions. Divine Shield is good in the right build, as well.

11-14-05, 02:36 PM Divine Might is excellent for any Paladin, while Divine Shield is great for any that isn't using two handed weapons.

11-14-05, 02:54 PM I like the Idea of divine might, and since I'm all set to go for Combat Brute the extra damage could synergize very well with sunder attempts and sundering cleave.

Hmm I also need to figure out a 3rd level feat, since I wont qualify for divine feats yet, nor will I meet the prereqs for combat brute. Perhaps Weapon Focus (Greatsword), or maybe Improved Buckler defense. So this is what the picture looks like so far, when I go home from work I'll take a closer look at the other divine feats available, as well as feats that synergize with my class features or other feats, but this is what my feats look like so far.

1st: Power Attack, Improved Sunder
3rd: ???
6th: Divine Might
9th: Combat Brute
12th: ???
15th: ???
18th: ???

As always more recomendations are welcome.

11-14-05, 03:41 PM Divine Vigor gives you an unnamed bonus to base speed and temporary hit points... so you can use it over and over for good effect (out run a monk, or horse, or what have you). It makes it very attractive at high and low levels.

Sacred Healing is also a favorite of mine. A turn attempt for mass fast healing is pretty nice.
