[QUOTE="perivas, post: 334707, member: 2746"] I usually don't min/max my characters. (I know, it's probably hard for the rest of you to believe:) ) I decided to try it out for a combat-only game. He's a paladin/cleric/hospitaler/templar of Tyr (who advocates administration of justice). He classes don't really have very different roles as all of them allow him to be an adventurer who is active in demonstrating Tyr's Word (this is to address the why he has so many classes issue). Due to his prestige class, his domains are war and protection. In fact, the two riding feats were taken solely for the purpose of min/maxing. I figured that paying two feats and some skills was worth it for the hospitaler prestige class which nets you lay hands, turn undead at class level - 2, +1 base attack/level, +1 divine caster level/level and fighter feats every odd level starting at level 3. I don't really use the mounted feats much, although I do bother memorizing a few mount/spectral stag spells to try to use them. Personally I think that the hospitaler prestige class was done wrong and should have emphasized protection and healing more than mounted combat or combat in general; but as I'm just min/maxing so I don't really care. In fact, I had hoped that this would demonstrate to my group that PrCs are broken in general when compared to core classes. Ironically, I'm not sure the others see it that way. Oh well. [/QUOTE]
