[QUOTE="Empirate, post: 5739814, member: 78958"] Ordained Champion (Complete Champion) is probably the best PrC for what you have in mind. Specifically, it swaps your spontaneous casting of cure/inflict for spont. casting of War domain spells; allows you to sacrifice turn attempts for rather good smiting; allows you to sacrifice spells for diverse quite powerful defensive and offensive benefits; allows you to quicken War domain spells (Divine Power being among those!); grants full BAB, but loses two levels of spellcasting. Makes for a powerful Cleric-based melee guy, but loses out on spellcasting a bit. Think divine gish. It's one of very, very few PrCs that lose spellcasting that I'd consider very good regardless. The only thing you'll notice is that having more than one swift action per round would be really nice. Alternatively, a Ruby Knight Vindicator (Tome of Battle) might be to your liking: full BAB, some maneuver progression (Devoted Spirit, White Raven, Stone Dragon, and Shadow Hand - odd mix), almost full spellcasting progression. Requires divine spellcasting of some sort and Devoted Spirit maneuvers to enter. It might even mesh surprisingly well with Ordained Champion, since it has one exceedingly powerful mechanic: sacrifice turn attempts for additional swift actions AND sacrifice turns for maneuver recovery. Meaning, if you have enough turn attempts, you can spam several White Raven Tactics in one round! Your higher-level maneuvers will be severely gimped, though, since RKV only advances maneuvers so much. [/QUOTE]
