08-05-07, 11:19 PM Hello all I just thought I'd put out a question to folks on this board. I'm going to be starting in a new campaign (as a player for once!). I've had this character concept of a nomadic barbarian/cleric. Sort of a Mongolian holy warrior type.
My question is are there any prcs that have been published by Wizards or in Dragon that work for this multiclass? Something like a Holy Berserker? I've flipped thru the Complete Divine and there wasn't anything that struck me as the flavour I had in mind. I could create one but I'd like to use something already tested. Any ideas? Thanks!

08-05-07, 11:52 PM Though it's not a PrC, the Crusader (from the Tome of Battle) could fill this niche. They are granted their maneuvers randomly each encounter based on a "moment of divine inspiration." Depending on how you roleplay it, this could be just what you're looking for. It's also a pretty awesome class.

EDIT: Oh, but they don't have the rage ability. I just thought putting your own unique touch to the random divine granting of maneuvers part would be cool.

That Said The Holyreaver is a whole lot of fun too but not built specifically for a raging character like Champion of Gwynharwyf.

It is, actually.

On the issue at hand, Champion of Gwynharwyf has some nice abilities to stop yourself from doing evil things mid-rage, which matters if you're playing an exalted character. On the other hand, Complete Champion has some stuff on "divine characters of all classes" that can give you a righteous barbarian, but no casting.

08-07-07, 03:38 PM Thanks for the posts and the phonetic notes re Gwynharwyf! What is that, Welsh I guess? I had a chance to look at the Gwynharwyf class and it looks pretty good for what I was thinking with some fluff adaptations or I'll just play a very ill-tempered straight up cleric. But thanks for the info!

Sorry Thurbane! Didn't realize that you were one of the good ones :)
