View Full Version : Pathfinder Trying to figure out how to sensibly build my character

Hey!

I'm playing in a campaign where the basic premise is that we are Followers of Cayden (The lucky drunk, domains of strength, travel, freedom, brewing and arguably bravery)

My character is a full orc Warpriest (lvl 5) and I'm practically speaking the tank (got to change out the channel feature for a bigger hit die, as our paladin had to quit this campaign)

Anyhow, I'm considering multiclassing, or get a prestige class from either 3.5 or pathfinder, but I'm not sure what to choose.
My characer is a fairly calm, but a bit naive and quick to action (but not anger). He dabbles in divination (a reference to "looking for answers at the bottom of a glass", since we're followers of Cayden). Other that that, my character is very strength based, and has a wis of just 13, despite being a divine caster.

He's build as an improvised weapon specialist (weapon focus, catch off-guard, throw anything and so on) and hes a carpenter by trade.

Any suggestions for feats, prestige classes or the like? I'd like to keep it related to tanking, divination, improvised weapons or drinking, preferably more than one if there is such a thing.

The Drunken Brawler Feat (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/drunken-brawler-combat) is good for drinking+tanking.

In addition to drunken brawler, you probably want the divine fighting technique (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/divine-fighting-technique-combat), specifically blade and tankard style. You can take the initial benefit in place of a minor blessing, and the advanced in place of a major blessing once you get it.

With fervors to swift action heal, it is very easy to tank as a warpriest. That said, you probably want higher wisdom-you will need 16 wisdom over the course of the game to cast all levels of spells that you get. There is nothing wrong with 13 wis and scraping by on the minimum, just stay away from spells that allow saves-focus on buffing the party and no save effects instead. Warpriests have plenty of divination spells, so you can prepare those too.

For prestige classes, the divine scion keeps your casting progression, and makes you very good at killing your opposition alignment(LE in this case).
The evangelist is a great class to add to your character-it requires the deific obedience feat, and you lose a single level of warpriest, but all levels of evangelist after that stack with warpriest and progress casting and all class features(fervor, sacred weapon, etc). There are also the sentinel and exalted classes, but neither are as good as evangelist.

If you pick up Deific Obedience, Sentinel would be a pretty solid choice. Gives full BaB, The boons add a few cool combat tricks (including automatically confirming critical hits), and gives leadership as a bonus feat.
