[QUOTE="Herzog, post: 6155091, member: 25696"] I'm currently working on an Archivist build, and I could use some help. I'm starting at lvl 9, and got the following worked out: Race: Lesser Thiefling Alignment: Lawful Neutral Stats (after racial adjustment and bonuses at 4 and 8 ) : STR 8 DEX 15 CON 9 INT 20 WIS 18 CHA 12 Feats: 1: Archivist of Nature 3: Knowledge Devotion 6: Planar Touchstone -> Catalogues of Enlightenment -> Kobold Domain 9: Touch of Healing Skill ranks: Concentration 12 Disable Device 4 Knowledge (arcana) 12 Knowledge (dungeoneering) 12 Knowledge (history) 1 Knowledge (local) 1 Knowledge (nature) 12 Knowledge (religion) 12 Knowledge (the planes) 12 search 12 spellcraft 12 I am thinking about leaving archivist after level 11, and have been looking for good Prestige classes. My best 'fit' up to now has been the Paragnostic Apostle, but I have two 'problems' with it: 1. I don't have turn undead, so the turn progression is wasted. 2. it is only 5 levels, so I can either pick up additional Archivist levels afterwards, or I 'have' to find another PrC to stack on top of it (or take instead of it) I've been looking for ways to get turn undead, but the only options I could find (Apostle of Peace and sacred excorcist) require you to be good. (I think Ur priest could also work, but since it has its own casting it would be like multiclassing, which I would like to avoid) I've also been looking for other Prestige Classes that fit with either the 'knowledge is power' theme, or even those that would fit in with some kind of fiendish heritage, but have been unable to find any that progress divine spellcasting (and don't provide bonuses that I already have) except for Loremaster, which I consider too give out 'too little, too late, and not theme appropriate'. I tried several Archivist build handbooks, but none of them have very good PrC listings/build advise for what I am looking for. I can still tweak my build somewhat (although I would prefer not to change my alignment) Any published WotC book is fair game (although I would still need to run it by my DM) and any pointers are very welcome.
