[QUOTE="cjosephs1s, post: 5715576, member: 6683450"] Well for melee action you either want touch spells or if your using your weapon, fighter feats since the cleric doens't get the BAB progression a fighter does and its going to take you too long to buff yourself up enough to charge in melee(our cleric/barbarian found this out the hard way as my character and another paladin would trounce monsters in just a couple rounds) I did notice something about your character that's a little "off". You're DM probably approved it, but just in case I'm going to point it out. For the Ordained Champion you must either worship Heironious or Hextor. Also something a little "off" is it seems like you want to focus on inflict spells with your choice of Spontaneous Wounder feat (and fell drain). This just doesn't bring to mind the concept of a "good" cleric to me. I'm not saying its wrong or not good, just doesn't fit [I]my ideals[/I] of a good cleric so your DM may have alignment issues with it (usually this is something evil clerics do in my mind) But that's a side note. And why shield specialization? Just curious. For a secondary melee or buffer this seems like this feat could be spent to enchance some ability such as spellcasting or fighting. Odds are you're not going to be "tanking" for your group correct? If not maybe even go with a 2h weapon for more damage. My best advice is focus on what you want to be really good at and try to maximize that and odds are you will be good at...maybe not good at much else but that's usually someone elses job. [/QUOTE]
