[QUOTE="nittanytbone, post: 2766946, member: 35709"] What books are available? Also, the "best" domains are often considered to be luck (for the granted power) and travel (for the granted power and the spells). So good choice :) If you want a "classic" D&D cleric (healing, anti-undead) then look into the Radiant Servant of Pelor PrC from Complete Divine. You'll want high wisdom and charisma; good con is nice; everything else can be dumped. Consider starting at a later age category to get bonuses to your mental stats. Another good PrC for clerics is the Contemplative (also from Complete Divine). This class is a bit more generic, but the benefits from even a one or two level dip are nice. A final PrC is Church Inquisitor. Downside: You aren't as good at turning undead, must be LG, weak fort saves. Upside: More skill points, better skills, it is very easy to get into, and oodles of nice special abilities. One rule of thumb with clerics is "never lose spellcaster levels." If you multiclass into something that disrupts your caster progression, you almost always will regret it. If you want to boost your spellcasting power, go for Divine Metamagic. Basically, this lets you convert turn undead attempts into more powerful spells. The downside is that it is very feat intensive. Here's one typical feat chain: Extend Spell-->Persistent Spell-->Divine Metamagic Persistent Spell-->Extra Turning Another is: Quicken Spell-->Divine Metamagic Quicken Spell-->Extra Turning Obviously with Divine Metamagic you want as many turn undead attempts per day as possible, which means high charisma. Good luck! Clerics can be lots of fun. [/QUOTE]
