Paladin 2 / Sorcerer 1 Needs a Prestige Class!

[Singing Smurf]

Anointed Knight?

If you have access to the Book of Exalted Deeds, the Anointed Knight combines those two elements nicely, as well as providing some swell charisma synergy.

Consider also Dragon Disciple, though you'd need a few more levels first - I would choose 2 levels of Fighter.

Oh, and thanks to kjenks for the no somantic component list above! I've been looking for something like that for a while.

I personaly think Elderich Knight to replace Sorcerer could be fun, give you a good BAB, and combine well with Paladin levels.

Are you playing with no leaving the Paladin class? (There is a feat that allows you to bypass this btw, I think in the Eberron campaign book) If not, no reason you can't split Pall/EK for a bit. Paladin is one of the classes that gains a lot of level based abilities (Smite evil, lay hands, etc) so abandoning it can be somewhat detrimental.

Also, it depends on what you're looking for, more arcane spell casting, or more holy warrior.

You might want to pick up the Still Spell feat, which while retarding your spellcasting by one level, it allows you to cast in armor any spell with somatic components with spell failure.

I would have gone Paladin 4/ than the suggested route simply for access to Divine Wrath

Where is Divine Wrath from? What does it do?

kjenk's list is also useful for spellcasters who are wondering what to do when grappled. For high-level casters, it's pretty much mandatory to have Dimension Door and/or Suggestion ("Flee from me!") to escape grapplers.

And for armored arcane casters, don't forget to add in the spells that are often cast outside of combat. (When you're casting Comprehend Languages, you normally have enough time to change into and out of your armor.) This includes spells whose duration is measured in hours per level.

WOW. thanks for all the helpful replies!

To clear things up a little, my DM uses a Homebrew feat called Devoted Arcanist which is coped from the other Devoted feats from the Complete Adventurer. it allows Paladin and Sorcerer levels to stack for Smiting evil, and allows me to cast Sorcerer spells while wearing light armor, and also i can multiclass between paladin and sorcerer so long as i stay lawful good and all that.

I thought about Eldritch Knight and Spellsword, but i kinda wanted something that kinda combines the paladin style with the sorcerer style of play; know what I mean?

I might swing towards a few levels of eldritch knight just for that bonus feat, thinking about taking something for my Greatsword. probably weapon focus lol.

Where is Divine Wrath from? What does it do?

My bad, I meant Divine Might. Divine Wrath is from the Divine Champion PrC in FRCS.

Not really.

Sorry if that was rude (I didn't mean it to be), but I'm not sure what you think the style of each is. Actually, Sorcerers are often Chaotic in nature, while the Paly is LG. Makes it difficult to understand what you mean by this. If you can explain what style of play you are looking for it would help a lot.

Offhand, I can't think of any decent, published paladin/sorcerer PrC. However, the Book of Exalted Deeds has several PrCs that are suited for exalted arcanists. Alternatively, maybe you can ask your DM to modify the Fist of Raziel (also from BoED) to advance arcane spellcasting instead.

Otherwise, with the homebrew Devoted Arcanist feat, I suggest you just go paladin 2/sorcerer x.

Dragon Disciple. A Paladin with huge silver wings and str 24ish? sign me up!

Or, go EK. EK is nice.

Ask Trainz to tell you about his character

He's playing something similar in one of his game.
