Message: <blockquote data-quote="MadScientist" data-source="post: 843049" data-attributes="member: 5277">IMC the Cleric is played by the least experienced RPer in the group and her character easily outshines the Paladin and frequently keeps up with my Dwarf Barbarian/Fighter in melee combat (if I'm not in a rage).  This is in spite of the fact that her feat/domain selection isn't even optimal for a melee cleric. (Feats- MWP greatsword, WF greatsword, Power Attack, Blind Fight; Domains- Knowledge and Magic.)  Those selections are pretty good but replacing Knowledge with the War domain and getting even more melee feats would be much better.   Also the cleave feat would probably get chosen over Blind Fight by a good min-maxer....  On top of this melee prowes she gets lots of cool spells and stuff.It hasn't been a BIG problem yet but in the hands of an experienced player I think her character would be a monster that outshined practically everyone in the party.  In the hands of good min-maxer during character creation this concept would be even worse.  So yes I think that clerics are over-powered.</blockquote>
