What's with War Priest?

[bbugg]

Person_Man, I don't disagree at all. However, PrCing out of pure cleric is in part a way to gimp myself a little so as not to outshine the rest of the party (Swashbuckler heading for shadowdance, pure fighter, sorcerer) and part to have some interesting extra powers (these need not be terribly useful, just interesting.)

I'm now thinking I'll stay cleric for now, but if I can PrC into something cool, I don't mind losing caster levels. I'm not at all concerned with the loss of optimisation.
