I have a 12th level Warforged Cleric of Kord in a long-running campaign (Str-based version) and I've been looking at the Runepriest as a possibility for a remake. It'd fit well for thematic reasons (we've been tying a lot of stuff in with the Ghulra runes) but having taken a shot at it via the Character Builder I'm a little underwhelmed (not least of which because of losing Turn Undead!).

Has anyone had any experience with the Runepriest? Anything I've missed?

Incidentally, you can see the character in action in the Story Hour in my .sig.

I think the rumors the melee cleric's death have been greatly exaggerated.

A) Runepriests aren't replacements for Strength Clerics. They're Divine Warlords, if anything. They offer little healing but lots of constant miscellaneous buffs. Expecting a Runepriest to do what a Cleric does is setting yourself up for disappointment.

B) If you still want Turn Undead as a Runepriest, you could pick it up via the Divine Channeler feat.

One thing to watch out for is that the RP's at will powers don't upgrade damage at 21st for some reason.
