Now, let me introduce you to THE battle cleric build: Blood and Faith * by Master Mithdradates.

* this build has notably earned the avado's approval certificate

Yes, Kail is correct, although, it is my opinion that the build is not right for the OC nor sou/hotu.  Having 20-28 lvls really begs for a pure Halforc cleric.  Cap wis at 19 rest to str (start 20st 16 wis).  Id try for Dev crit, but thats me.  Clerics are so strong in the bioware mods that it you only really need to multi them when you need super devastation power. 

The feats that are important are Wpn focus (if you need Martial feat, 1 ftr lv - 4 is OK, but for every ftr lvl you loose on cleric, which per epic is a sin '>  )   extend spell, improve crit (with all cleric buffs adding damage, crits can REALLY add up).  There are many other choices depending on how you want to go.

for example, if i want spell versatility, id take silent spell and empower spell with max spell a possible as well.  That allows you to now manage ANY situation from a spell perspective. 

Ignore combat cast, spell focuses, spell penetrates, etc as these arent necessary for the OC's. 

Melee it up.  herd.  and follow the guide i wrote and you will witness more power than most ever get to see.

The problem with nwn is that it is turn based.  This means that you and your opponent get attempts to hit each other.  A game like DAO, this isnt necessarily so since you can strike and do signficant damage to an opponent before they even have a chance.  What this means for a player is, every "defensive" act means you are NOT doing damage and hence, allowing the fight to go on longer, meaning your chance of death goes up too.

In nwn combat you either win or you loose.  Why not win?  Why not go into every combat deciding to dish out as much pain as you possibly can in the shortest amount of time you can?  ]

It has always puzzeled me to watch and hear people play nwn like a passenger in a car.  How many times have party members sat back and gave me the opportunity to KILL ALL! 

In my opinion, the very best class to dish out the widest possible variety of damages to the widest possible variety of opponents is the cleric.  In my mind, cleric IS offensive (in both attitude and play style).  To play it any other way, to me, is being stupid. 

Sorry jml, didnt mean to pick on your comment, it just sort of hit me what I have been trying to get people to understand since 2006!  '>

               Sorry for what? First, you've got the very mouth to speak your very words, and I'm absolutely respectful of that, if not jaleous, and up to delighted eventually. Second I don't see playing a cleric in any different way that the one you highlighted. Well, to be perfectly honnest, I barely play any PC on a defensive basis anyway, which I see as nothing only delaying your fall. And I'm awful when it comes to build a character the way most of people do here, by the list before the "reality", by the numbers before "life" itself, which is kind of the opposite to roleplaying to me, knowing exactly what they're going to do at which level and all, before anything happens. I play NWN like I live I suppose, making choices right in front of the problem, my feet on the (battle)field.
Even if I love mathematics, to the point of being a math teacher in my youth...
I'm nothing but an instinctive player. And my instinct, the only rule I shall follow until this end of mine, always told me, from my very first holly day, to go the spellcaster way with a cleric, and to finish eventually what is left to be finished by the sword.
Even you, avado, fight the way you speak. You're the cleric of your mouth. The Inquisitor type... Beware of the divine Word. Fear God as he loves you!!! :crying:                
As I don't wanna play tech, I'm even wrong to the point considering a cleric more powerful than a wizard when it comes to that magical, sorry, divine, area, if you give me the choice, my life being at stake.
The only true NWN to me being online, I hope one day I'll be honnest enough to verify my shameful single player theories for "real", sort of speak.

Meanwhile, I intend to pursue my holly quest for Fun that only way, if no one minds.
