So I am new to D&D, and decided to roll up a cleric to start playing with a group of my friends that used to play years ago and just started back up.
I was trying to find cleric builds online but they ALL seem to be focused around cheesing the game rules to the max which Im not interested in doing. I looked through some PrC's and at the moment am planning on the following build:
1-10: 10 Cleric
11: 1 Contemplative
12-13: 12 Cleric
14: 1 Heirophant
15-17: 15 Cleric
18+ : Warpriest up to 8-9 levels
I am of god Farfignewton(sp?) the god of the roads to get Luck and Travel domains at creation. I took contemplative to get the celerity domain and disease immunity, Heirophant for the divine reach which seemed awesome even though that PrC seems a little weak over all, and warpriest for the melee abilities/proficiencies as well as the spell-like abilities which seemed pretty amazing.
My goal is to be the groups main healer/buffer and still retain decent melee capabilities so I can focus on using spells on the aforementioned buffing/healing.
Anyone have any suggestions for me in any regard? Is taking Heirophant to get the ranged spells worth postponing my cleric caster advancement? Are there any other PrCs or multiclassing options I missed that seem like better combos? Like I said I am fairly new to the game, just trying to plan ahead for pre-requisites.
I am aligned Neutral Good, a dwarf, and went for DMM(quicken) and quicken as my first and second feats (not planning on buying 100 nightsticks though, lol), and have access to the core books + PHB2, complete divine, and a couple other ones I cant remember at the moment.
Thanks for the help.
