[QUOTE="CTurbo, post: 7299941, member: 6855234"] Just out of curiosity, why did you choose Life domain for your grappler Cleric? Seems like an odd choice. I think Life is a strong domain, but nothing about it screams grappler to me really. I've been thinking about this idea. I'm trying to figure out which domain would fit best. Tempest seems like the logical choice considering how strong it is overall and gives Heavy Armor Proficiency which almost seems like a must for this build. I do like the idea of the Light domain though. I like having fun things to do with my reaction. Death has the appeal of holding down the enemy and letting your undead minions beat on him. I don't care for Nature as a pure Wis build is not appealing for this. I am not familiar enough with the other domains. Well, forgot about War. Since I don't see this guy making many melee attacks, if any, I don't think War really fits what I want to do. Again, I don't see this guy ever using a weapon. I think I would try to up the grapple ante by trying to restrain whenever possible. I also don't see myself using a shield. Would rather be able to grapple 2 guys at once. For race, I was thinking vhuman and getting Res(Con), Heavy Armor Mastery, or Brawny at level 1. Don't want to have to rely on a lot of feats. Would rather get Str and Wis to 20 asap. I like the idea of being a Goliath. Stone's Endurance is really good, and they get Athletics for free. I REALLY like the idea of Lizardfolk. I love the idea of biting while restraining an enemy. Sounds awesome. They have great stats and even get a small temp hp boost. Would probably need rolled stats for this to work best or Str would suffer. I think it would be extra awesome to have Vicious Mockery with this build. I can hold the enemy down, cause him pain with my preachings, and then add on the Spiritual Guardians/weapon goodies haha [/QUOTE]
