[QUOTE="thorimar, post: 3689832, member: 11308"] I'm looking to build a cleric for an upcoming campaign, and I was looking for some suggestions on the build. He will be in a party of 4 PCs. Other character distribution is Arcane caster (exact class undetermined), archer, and fighter-rogue. This leaves me with a cleric, which is my prefered class anyway. The last cleric I played was an artificer, built for the sole purpose of guaranteeing that the party could get magic items it wanted. Lots of fun and in the end he was a martial beast due to a number of prestige classes bilt around crafting and hammer usage. But I'm looking for something different (but not too different). Starting level will be 1st, so only core races work. Probably will be a 28 pt buy based on past games with this DM, and as long as a PrC isn't too far out it usually gets approved. I had been toying with the idea of a reach weapon as as oft used part of my arsenal with hammer, flail or axe as the backup. Ready set go! If this build is out there in great form already, feel free to post the link in here. Most other builds I find are directed to caster maximized or use LA races so they are not too good for me. Thanks for any ideas. Feel free to build him as far as you want since we will likely play these characters through a 1-20 story arc. Thorimar [/QUOTE]
