Cleric of Heironeous to PrC pally, DMM Persist.

[Tindragon]

Toying with this idea. Got it to here thus far, I doubt it's tier 1, but it might be fun to play. Thoughts on where to go, or massive down falls to correct before getting into Pally PrC....

Skills ranked @ 5th
concentration 4
know nobility 2 (cc 4 spent)
know religion 8
ride 4

going forward, I was thinking max out skill concentration, know religion, ride.

Good feat for better mount to take at 6?

Was debating leadership at 9 for a wizzy cohort for items...

Anything else? Anything really terrible to not fall for.

You need to take mounted combat for prestige paladin as I recall.

Now that was a bad error. Thanks.

Guess I'm on my own, Prolly be a few months before I get a shot at a players chair anyway.

Our next DM will likely run Pathfinder and allow Gestalt, which, I've never done. Would there be a way to do this as Gestalt to improve it?

I mean, you've already got a DMM:P cleric, and now you're adding mounted shenanigans on top of it. I say take ride by attack and spirited charge. Need to know the direction you're taking this character, as well as what books are allowed. Personally, with only 1/2 casting from PrPally, I say go something like Fighter 1/Cleric 4/PrPally 2/Bone Knight 10/something 3. This way you get CL14 by level 17, with the option of taking a full casting PrC for the last 3 levels, giving you 9th level spells. As opposed to Cleric 6/PrPally 14, and having only CL14 at 20.

Now, with regards to gestalt... DMM:P clerics tend to be self buffers, so something with active casting would be fine, such as wizard or archivist. Artificer would probably be cool, and being a craft-bot. Putting an initiator chassis on here, in the form of Crusader would be cool too, but if I recall correctly, there aren't many (if any) mounted maneuvers.

Awesome, thanks.

Hard to optimize something like this, and maybe it never will be. I'm just thinking I want something fairly self sufficient, and FUN to rolEplay as a paladin...
