[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 6066253, member: 82106"] Actually, I think the hybrid Executioner|Cleric works pretty well. There isn't GREAT stat synergy, but both Executioner and Cleric can work pretty well with a single stat, so a Half-orc with primary DEX and WIS, secondary CHA is workable. You get one stat synergy from Half-orc on DEX, so that allows for decent stats overall. Play with say hide armor and you can have a perfectly nice AC. In fact you'll have a rather good overall spread of stats. You could use Warpriest and then you've got some good WIS based melee attacks too on the cleric side, but honestly you don't need them much, I'd think it would be better to use a 'laser' type approach to that side of the character (IE Lance of Faith, etc). That way you can do some stuff from range and use the Assassin stuff for closing in for the kill. I think it would actually play a good bit like the old 1e cleric/assassin. Of course all the other possible divine classes you could use are all interesting too. 4e definitely has a crazy number of options available. [/QUOTE]
