Flexible Cleric

[Omegaxicor]

So print it out and glue it into the DMG. I believe it will fit right over Duelist.

hahahaha That might be worth trying, but for the "possibility" that it doesn't work any more suggestions?

There are spells that give you bonuses to skills. The trickery domain gives you social skills and some of the said skill supplementing spells. Clerics can use Persist Spell on buffs to make them melee monsters. Zen Archery is must have feat for Clerics seeking to do ranged combat.

Good suggestions, Social skills are less important than skills like Disable device, Search (especially with Trap finding) and Use Magic Device

Persist spell and Zen Archery, I will look into them but isn't the Cleric already feat starved without dividing his focus (I don't want to end up generalising too much that I suck at everything)

Some feats can be got from race and domain choice. An Elf Cleric with the Elf domain and Zen Archery is already a great archer. Add in the Planning Domain, and you save another Feat (Extend Spell). All you need now is Persist Spell and Divine Metamagic (Persist), and you're set. You can achieve all this by 6th level, so when at 7th level Divine Power kicks in, you're effectively a full casting, full BAB archer with an excellent main stat (Wis) and a good secondary stat for when melee is called for (Divine Power gives Str +6).
If you're a Cloistered Cleric, you lose a paltry few HP, but gain a massive amount of skillpoints, and gain the Knowledge Domain - which you switch for Knowledge Devotion for even more combat bonuses.

You're now a quadruple threat character: full caster, great archer, OK skillmonkey, OK melee. Your skill and combat needs can be further fulfilled by spellcasting.

None, I'm afraid, as I cannot ethically advise you to download Races of Destiny from the Internet.

hahaha I meant any suggestions other than the Factotum/Chameleon but yea I checked and the DM doesn't want to include things from that book and our group operates on an "All or Nothing" approach so if the Factotum was allowed then everything in the book has to be.

I have researched the domains, both are in Player's Guide to Faerun which I think will be off limits (campaign settings are because our campaign doesn't take place in Faerun) however since there are Elves in our campaign I may be allowed it, any other methods in case I am not?

Cloistered Cleric is from UA I think and all variants are a maybe (I can't see why not but it might be)

 

[Jackinthegreen]

Dungeonscape isn't broken or even very powerful typically. Are you suggesting that because you have access to the book, the group has to use as much as possible from it or something? Horse hockey. It's practically impossible to use everything from the core three books, let alone the dozens of splats.

Also, Spell Compendium. It has the Elf domain and the Planning domain (among others), so there's little reason not to have access to them. The Knowledge and Trickery domains are in the PHB.

Want a huge list of domains? Cleric Domain List

 

[steeldragons]

I want to build a Cleric (well any class will do but Cleric seems the most appropriate) that can shift from Melee to Ranged to Caster to Skill Monkey from day-to-day, is that possible? (just choosing different equipment and spells but feats and attributes remaining the same)

Soooo...you want a character class that can do anything...interesting.

Sounds like loads of fun.

Have a good time with that.

OO! Did I just "thread crap"? I don't think I've ever done that before...apologies.

Whooaa there, now wasn't this an EXTREMELY HELPFUL response! THANK YOU SO MUCH, you have just turned on that "IDEA" bulb and enlightened not only the OP, but all of us poor posters in a thread soooo dull and pointless, that YOUR fun is better than other people's!

[/sarcasm]

Really.

 

[steeldragons]

[/sarcasm]

Really.

You are quite right. Apologies.

I'd delete it if I could.

Carry on.

[MENTION=4078]Jackinthequeen[/MENTION] You seem to have misunderstood what I meant, if we use 1 thing from Dungeonscape then if any of the group want to use something from Dungeonscape it is allowed and since we don't have a copy for the DM to vet then he can't be sure that there isn't something open to abuse, does that make more sense?

There isn't much to abuse in Dungeonscape. Factotum is a good class, but it's only abuseable in Gestalt games, with full casters getting the Factotum standard action ability.
