Base class divine caster with full base attack bonus?

[brehobit]

There's one in house rules which is, if anything, underpowered I'd say.

OK, went back and edited it, because it _did_ seem too weak and lacked mechanical flavor. I think it's still reasonably powered but more fun. I realize people don't tend to use non-published stuff but...

Why not Clr4/Ftr1, say, which gets you into PrPal at 6th?

Seconded. This seems like the obvious path.

Barbarian 1 / Cleric 4 is another obvious path.

-Hyp.

I am trying to keep the options as open as I can. That combination will have an experience penalty with many races.

Well, pick a race, then

Alternatively, Ftr2/Clr3 or Bbn2/Clr3 will still get you in at level 6 with no penalty.

For all races, Ftr 2 / Cleric 3 is viable.

For all races, Barbarian 2 / Cleric 3 is also viable.

Dwarves & Half-Orcs can go Cleric 4 without penalty.

And humans and half-elves, of course.

Of course.

I assumed he'd figured that bit out.

Crusader from Bo9S hasn't been mentioned IIRC. And don't forget Fighter4/Cleric1. Bad spellcasting but Melee Weapon or Ranged Weapon Mastery later.

Hmm. Makes me wanna try a PrPal archer with Divine Might, Battle Blessing, Practised Spellcaster and Ranged Weapon Mastery. Rather good Divine Favor as Swift action + Cha mod + 4 (WS+RWM) + Str mod + magic bow at nearly full BAB. Now where do I steal all those feats?

And don't forget Ranged Smite Evil...
