If you've got turn undead anyhow, I'd recommend Divine Defiance over Improved/Reactive Counterspell. Reactive Counterspell eats your next round's action, while Divine Defiance just costs you an immediate action. You'll have a CL of 4 on divine divination spells thanks to Knowledge/Oracle domains, so you'll qualify.

Also, nabbing the Inquisition domain will give you +4 to your counterspells if you use Dispel Magic.

That said, I might rework the build to drop human paragon and cloistered cleric, picking up sacred exorcist instead.

EDIT: Just checked, Divine Defiance is in Fiendish Codex II, which isn't on the allowed books list. Scratch that, I suppose. Once I get back to my books, I can work up some more ideas.

thank you so much


yeah reactive was my best bet, but i might not need it. I could just hamper the opponents with my spell list.

Do a google search for spell selection tips with site:www.giantitp.com in the search. A lot of good early divinations don't have a save so I'm not sure if you should get spell focus so early, unless you need it as a prerequisite.

If you can nab Complete Champion and Cityscape you could do something like Wizard (Spontaneous Divination ACF, CC) 5/ Paragnostic Apostle 1/ Urban Savant 10/ X (Divine Oracle, Master Specialist, Mindbender, Paragnostic Apostle, or something else full caster) 4. Another option with this is to take a level of Spellthief at 1st level and then mix in 3 levels of Unseen Seer to get more sneak attack and the Hunters Eye spell.
