[QUOTE="Gaiden, post: 1577941, member: 103"] Your character suffer alot if you multiclass into cleric. Granted, the turning will remain the same and you will get more low level spells. However, you will no longer be able to operate as a front line fighter (well). Your buffs no doubt would include divine favor, protection from evil, aid, eagle's splendor, and divine power. However, keep in mind the short durations of those spells - meaning that they will only be useful if you know about a combat ahead of time (which is far from always the case). Also, as a multiclass cleric, divine favor is always +1 behind in terms of its benefits. All spells save divine power are accessable through the paladin whom has more hitpoints and a better attack bonus to begin with. The minor benefit to will saves with the cleric can be compensated for by increasing your charisma. There are no two ways about it, if you want to be a frontline warrior, stick with paladin. On another note, your charisma is only 14 - you may not be terribly interested in divine might. Also, I have found that I rarely get to use power attack as a paladin because while the paladin has a good base attack bonus, he has nothing like the fighter or barabarian in terms of boosting the attack bonus. Also, if you go the route of combat expertise, I can promise you that you will never get to use both it and power attack enough to justify taking power attack if you are not on the road to divine might. If you are uninterested in a mount, perhaps you are looking in the wrong direction - maybe you should go for a paladin PrC. I know S&S had a couple that were pretty good. I have not perused CW or CD enough to know what they contain, but you might find something in them as well. [/QUOTE]
