I am helping a new guy in the party compose himself a cleric for an upcoming adventure, and I would like some help on the build seeing as this campaign will be HARD, and this build needs to ba a tad cheesy for the guy to survive. Him and I have come up with the following build: Race: -Human Stats, point buy 28 (further increases): -Str: 14 -Dex: 12 -Con: 14 -Int: 8 -Wis: 15 (+1 at lvl 4, 8, 12, 16, 20) -Cha: 12 Diety: -Shinare (best diety in the setting, I would have liked him to have the Planning and War (prof+focus: greatsword) domains, but this is as good as it gets) Domains: -Luck -Travel Skills: -Concentration (con) : Maxed out -Diplomacy (cha) : Maxed out Build: -1: Cleric 1 Feat (Extra Turning), Bonus Feat (Extra Turning) -2: Fighter 1 Bonus Feat (Power Attack) -3: Cleric 2 Feat (Extend Spell) -4: Cleric 3 -5: Cleric 4 -6: Cleric 5 Feat (Persistant Spell) -7: Cleric 6 -8: Cleric 7 -9: Cleric 8 Feat (DMM: Persistant Spell) -10: Cleric 9 -11: Cleric 10 -12: Cleric 11 Feat (Improved Initiative) -13: Cleric 12 -14: Cleric 13 -15: Cleric 14 Feat (Improved Sunder) -16: Cleric 15 -17: Cleric 16 -18: Cleric 17 Feat (Combat Brute) -19: Cleric 18 -20: Cleric 19 The build is based around power attacking with its greatsword, while being affected by buffs all day through its two persisted spells, while also relying on lesser buffs occationally.. in other words pretty simple, and simple is good. I hope. 1) Avaliable books. All official non-campaign specific 3.5 books are avaliable, and so is the dragonlance campaign setting books. 2) Other party members: The party consists of 3 other members; a rather optimized conjurer, suck-tastic necromancer with spezialing in damage spells, and a rather well made scout/fighter/dervish. We are all level 11. This is the best cleric buil I could come up with.. now how do I make it rock?

You could either play a LA 0 Outsider race for martial proficiency, or get a greatsword with the skillful enhancement. Or just use a morning star. Outsider would be good for when you can eventually permanently Polymorph Any Object yourself into a Planetar or something equally insane. Buy either Nightsticks (Libris Mortis) or Reliquary Holy Symbols (Magic Item Compendium) to give you extra turn attempts. I wouldn't take Extra Turning twice, unless those items aren't available. The Reliquary Holy Symbols are only 1000 gp each, but require a few things to get maximum use out of them. Otherwise, it looks pretty good.
