[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6628813, member: 7006"] The only real issue that might come up if you allow the 'Divine Knight' sub-class would be how it ends up comparing to someone else that chose to play a cleric in the party-- especially if they chose to play a War Cleric or another martial cleric domain. You just don't want one PC to completely overshadow the other if they both have relatively overlapping concepts. But if this is the only cleric in the party, I suspect putting the cleric spell list on the eldritch knight shouldn't e much of an issue so long as you follow some of the guidelines the good folks above put forth. Incidentally though... is there a reason why a straight War domain cleric isn't wanted (since that gets you the same concept)? If its a matter of wanting a couple fighter abilities too (like Fighting style and/or Action Surge), you might be able to find one-for-one ability swaps in the War Cleric to acquire them (while giving up something else of equivalent power.) I've considered doing that for a War cleric concept of mine who worships Clangaddin Silverbeard (who uses two battleaxes). Swapping out the 1st level war domain ability for the two-weapon Fighting Style. That's sometimes easier that trying to figure out how multiclassing ends up working out (with the delay of ASI/feats and loss of highest level spells etc.) [/QUOTE]
