[QUOTE="kevin_video, post: 4907735, member: 85066"] If you've used the Races of Stone book, then maybe you'll know of the prestige class I'm about to talk about. The Battlesmith. You might have to get Endurance as a bonus feat, and if you haven't put any points into Armoursmithing and weaponsmithing, you may have to do that, but it's a good class. It works really well because as a Cleric, you need to have a high Wisdom to use your spells. At first level, you add your WIS on top of your STR to damage so long as you're using a warhammer. Ifyou've got the money to swallow (quite literally) Stonelord from Complete Warrior isn't that bad. Another good prestige, if you can meet the requirements, is Hammer of Moradin from Players Guide to Fauren. Like the Stonelord, it's got a full BAB, but doesn't have a +1 to spellcaster levels (which is retarded because you have to be able to cast at leat 2nd lvl divine spells to get the class). You can get around this by taking Practice Spellcaster which gives you +4 to your caster levels. However, it doesn't give you bonus spells per day. Lastly, Complete Adventurer, Ollam PrC. Again, you'll have to meet the requirements, but that's all because of the skills you need. BTW, I see what books you're allowed, but are you allowed Dragon Magazines too? If so, take a gander at issue 328 on page 28-29. Probably the best of the ones I've listed as it's got cleric save bonuses, and +1 to spell caster level ever two levels. You still go up as a cleric for BAB though I'm afraid. But you get a lot of good abilities though. At first level your hammer gains +1d4 fire damage (providing you don't already have that), and you gain the War Domain. Again, the prereqs might be hard for your character, depending on how you built them. The problem is always the feats. Check them out. They're all pretty decent. If you want to take a quick look at them, and just look at the prereqs only, plus what you can get for the first two levels, just go to Crystal Keep, and look up the Prestige Class pdf. It's got a section in there just for racial prestiges. It also shows your minimum level to get it. Also, have you considered Dwarf Paragon? It's not the greatest, but it's also an option. All in all, there's nothing wrong with going with the good ol' Fighter class. The Fighter/Cleric dwarf's probably been done to death, but it's still a classic. There's a Races of Stone substitute for that class as well (you even get d12 HD and Know[dungeoneer]) at 1, 2, and 8. [/QUOTE]
