House rule - I am allowed to play a Male and be a servant of Loviatar and any PrC that requires Loviatar female gender is nulled.

(Maiden of Pain and/or Scourge Maiden)

Question #1:
My Future Feats that I want are:

FOR SURE:
Divine Metamgic
Persistent Spell

Unsure:
Extra Turning????

Do I want Extra Turning and in what Order do I want to get those 2-3 feats?

1b) What Other Feats would you recommend?
NO UNDEAD STUFF - Keep it RP wise, Follower of Loviatar please.
------

Question #2: Prestige Class:


Which one to go for:

A) Scourge Maiden (Shining South pg 40)

B) Maiden of Pain (Player Guide to Faerun pg 182)


-------
Question #3

Also I am not understand Maiden of Pain: spells per day/known section. Pretty much, My cleric level goes up too but w/o the benefit of turn/rebuke undead?

=====

Question #4

If I go Maiden of Pain route, I get a 3rd Domain.
When it comes to Domain Abilities - do I have access to ALL THREE or I can only pick from 1 domain, just like the spells?

4b - What Domain should I get? Law? Retribution? Strength? Evil?

=====

Question #5

Domain Spells:

Lets Say I pick up

level 1 spell slot - Angry Ache (Domain spell lvl 1)
level 2 spell slot - Bane (Domain spell level 1)

Or does it have to be a level 2 spell only from any domain I have?

=======

Any Advice, tips, suggestion, ideas would be greatly appreciative.
Thanks

You need an huge amount of turn undead. Take a variant like Rebuke Dragons or similar and take a level in a PrC that grants turn undead.

If you want to do persist and divine metamagic you are gonna need a decent number of tunr attempts. Easiest way to go about this is with Nightsticks if you are allowed.

Both the PRCs are turds BUT Maiden of Pain is the less smelly of the poo, and also the shinier piece of poo because of its fluff, so its forgiven to take that one.

For the spells known section, yes, you gain spells per day as if you were a higher level cleric, so +1 from maiden and a level 8 cleric would cast spells as if he were a 9th level cleric. you dont gain any other cleric benefits other than spellcasting.

As for domains and how they work, they function the same as your spells do for the cleric list, so you can put a lower level spell in a higher slot. you also have access to all 3 powers at any time. its not just 1 per day.

Suggested domains:
Strength is probably the most powerful, followed by evil in my opinion. Retrubution is full of flavor though

there are 2 vile feats you can pick up "Willing Deformity" and "Deformity: Madness" that will make you immune to mid effecting spells, but this is easily replaced with a ring of mind blank or similar.

There is a LA: 2 template you could consider "Vecna Blooded" which makes you virtually immune to divination.

I would recommend glamoured armor so that you can be prepared for a fight at any time but still look like you are dressed casually.

When I play evil I like to make sure that no one can find out and with immunity to mind effecting and immunity to divination, its pretty damn hard for people to figure out your evil if you arn't blatant about it.

In addition, vecna blooded shows you who is divining you.
