Out-damaged the single-classed Fighter in the same party easily, at levels 8-10. And interestingly enough, he too was using the Haunted curse- his init modifier was -4, so he usually went last, but MAN OH MAN did he hit hard when he got the chance. By my estimation, the Battle Oracle is a superior choice to Cleric for trying to make and out-and-out battle priest in the vein of the CoDZilla you could do in 3.X. I've heard that Metal Oracle is also very good for melee, and a brief examination of the Revelations and spells available to it (hel-LO, Lead Blades and Versatile Weapon!) suggests that it could be, but haven't actually seen one played so can't speak from personal experience there. As for Magus, the same player who played the Battle Oracle I mentioned above is now playing a Magus in a different (currently 11th-level) party, and although he does well enough, the Inquisitor in the same group generally "tanks" better than the Magus does. I'd echo SotS and say, don't multiclass- if you want to do Oracle, go single-class Oracle.</blockquote>
