Radiant Avenger (28-pt human paladin 2 / cleric 18)

[unbongwah]

My, I'm in a build-y mood today...

Posting for a friend, but thought others might like this too. This is a battle cleric variant which goes for a paladin 2 splash instead of the usual fighter. Radiant Servant requires Divine Might I, which requires CHA 14; so to get a little more benefit out of that CHA, I went for Divine Grace for higher saves - LoH and Smite Evil are bonuses.

Went human for all the usual reasons: extra feat, self-healing amp, Adaptability, extra skill points. In combat she uses falchions for DPS or scimitars if she has to go S&B. Could go elf for the falchion enhs, but they're not worth the hit to HPs and 1 less feat, IMHO. Because of the stat reqs, I wouldn't go dwarf or WF on a 28-pt build for this.

Two versions posted: the first is STR-based and focuses on melee feats (eventually needs +5 WIS item); the second is WIS-based and focuses on metamagic feats. Both should have pretty good heals; the latter gives up some healing enhs for better spell penetration but has Maximize & Empower. For skills go for max Concentration and either Balance, Diplomacy, or UMD; if UMD, you should probably swap in SF UMD.

Modified version of the first build: still STR-based, but drops a couple of THF feats for Extend (mostly for buffs) & Maximize; someone convinced me that even with base WIS 14 (+ items etc.), a maximized BB does enough damage to be worthwhile.
