I'm looking for help on making a human cleric/fighter/rogue or cleric/bg/rogue, something really nasty in pve and pvp. Thanks.

These days it's probably better to use conjuration instead of evocation but this is by far the most informative "how2cleric" post on the forums, and I don't want to type things that have already been typed by some goblin man.WhereButterfliesGoToDie, over a year ago now jesus wrote:No. Nooooo.

Taking g.ruin before esf evo seems arbitrary, but you can't take an epic spell on cleric bonus feats. You can take epic focuses however. Hence the esf has to land on the 23rd cleric bonus feat, or you'll be sacrificing a general feat or epic spell.
I am well aware that only 3 fighter pre-epic does NOT yield you a passive 4 APR, but Divine Power, which is a buff you'll use for any serious combat will give you a 4th APR at full BAB, similiar to how Haste does, making a 3 APR cleric actually stronger than a 4 APR one, given the 4th attack then gaining the full BAB.
A human could fit extend spell on the bonus feat, which is handy. But what fun is that.
You are now the orc warlord of the universe.
Just be advised that there are limits to how well a battlecleric performs in PvP. It has a long setup time and is really vulnerable to Mords scrolls.Drowling34 wrote:I'm looking for help on making a human cleric/fighter/rogue or cleric/bg/rogue, something really nasty in pve and pvp. Thanks.
Prerequisite: 21st level, the ability to cast 9th level spells, spellcraft 25
Essentially the same build as above. You get -1 to AB and damage, and you lose out on a feat since you're not human, but otherwise it's vastly superior to a dex cleric (which is cancer). You will need IKD.Tetra wrote:What's a good fighting cleric build for a small race with -2 strength? I'm having a hard time figuring this one out since dex based cleric rogue seems weak and healer cleric/ monk seems iffy.
