Thanks for reading my thread!
Eye of Horus-Re
Our group is starting City Of The Spider Queen and I have been designated as the party cleric. As many of you may know, CoTSQ is an adventure revolving around Drow and Undead, heavy on the Undead. With that in mind, I wanted to make a cleric that can not only handle the divine casting load but also have terrific ability against undead.
We started our design as an Eilestraee cult battling our evil Underdark kin, so that's why there's a bunch of Dark Elves. They're all good obviously.
Drow Fighter 8
Drow Swashbuckler 5, Duelist 3 (eventually 10/10)
Drow Wizard 8
Drow Pal 4, Rog 3, Skullclan Hunter 1
Aasimar Monk 9
Here is my character as I've worked him up.
Human Cleric 7, Eye of Horus-Re 3 (PGtF) - Me!
Domains: Sun, Good
Note: Level 1 of of Eye of Horus-Re does *not* give +1 level cleric but all subsequent levels do.
Abilities (adjusted for Level 8)
S: 13 - D: 11 - C: 16 - I: 11 - W: 17 (19) - Ch: 16
See the link at the top of the thread for details on the PrC.
1 - Cleric 1 - Extra Turning (required) - Alertness (required - PGtF)
2 - Cleric 2
3 - Cleric 3- Improved Initiative
4 - Cleric 4
5 - Cleric 5
6 - Cleric 6 - Craft Wand
7 - Cleric 7
8 - EoHR 1 - Greater Turning - Radiance - Turn Undead
9 - EoHR 2 - Everlight - Divine Vigor (CW) or Empowered Turning (CW)
10 - EoHR 3 - Touch of the Sun
11 - EoHR 4
12 - EoHR 5 - Bonus Domain (Retribution) - Divine Shield (CW)
13 - EoHR 6 - Piercing Sight
14 - EoHR 7
15 - EoHR 8 - Positive Energy Burst - Extend Spell
16 - EoHR 9
17 - EoHR 10 - Truesight
18 - Cleric 8 - Persistent Spell (PGtF)
19 - Cleric 9
20 - Cleric 10
Total BaB 14/9/4
Saves: F 10, R 6, W 14
Skills - Spot, Religion, Concentration primary - Heal secondary.
I also have 49,000 gold to spend. I was thinking of the following
+2 Full Plate/+1 Large Shield - 3820
Masterwork Morning Star (yeah, I know) - 308
Hewards Handy Haversack - 2,000
Lesser Rod of Metamagic Silent - 3,000
Periapt of Wisdom +4 - 16,000
Phylactery of Undead Turning - 11,000
Slippers of Spider Climbing - 4,800
Hat of Disguise - 1,800
Wands - All made by me
Wand of Light - 187.5
Wand of Detect Poison - 187.5
Wand of Detect Magic - 187.5
Wand of Prot. From Evil - 375
Wand of Cure Light Wounds - 375
Wand of Cure Light Wounds - 375
Wand of Cure Light Wounds - 375
Wand of Cure Light Wounds - 375 (for the Paladin)
Wand of Detect Undead - 375
Wand of Obscuring Mist - 375
Wand of Entropic Shield - 375
Wand of Daylight - 2,250
Holy Water X10 - 250
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm still torn about the EoHR and my choice to be Human in particular.
As an alternative, I thought about being a Drow Cleric 8 and then look at the new Sacred Exorcist when the Complete Divine book comes out next month. If they don't nerf it (badly), it would still be very effective against undead and maybe not have the missing cleric spell level.
We are not using the old 3.0 splats so if it changes, I'd have to use the 3.5 or stay straight cleric, or of course choose another PrC
The main attraction here is the 120' darkvision and the 11+char level Spell Resistance. Since everyone else in the party is taking an ECL class I don't think it would be too terrible.
The loss of a feat is not desirable, but I could drop Craft Wand and just pay full price for the wands. We won't have *any* time to create magic items in the adventure so I don't think it will be a huge loss.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Any thoughts or suggestions would be most appreciated. I never play clerics, so I'm really looking forward to trying to being as much of a pure support character as I can.
