[QUOTE="Veril, post: 2556391, member: 33452"] Not so. Clerics get to improve their turn undead ability as they level up, and that is a genuinly useful ability. The turning ability of a 20th level cleric is way more significant than the turning ability of a 1st level cleric. Almost all cleric PRC's with full spell casting progression have to give that up, Radiant Servant of Pelor being the obvious exception. Every cleric that can take Radian Servant levels instead of cleric levels should do so, if they are concerned first and foremost with power. They gains only benefits by doing so and loses nothing, full spellcasting, full turn (+ better) + extra abilities all the way up. Familiars in comparison are lame they are in fact are far too vulnerable to be used effectivly, they are a hinderance and not a benefit as you have to protect them. Occasionally they can prove useful, but only occasionally. IMO sacrifiing familiar abililty for anything else is a win win situation. You cannot generally afford to expose your familiar to danger as it only has 1/2 your hit points, and if it is away from you doesn't get any of those nice defensive spells you were buffed with.
