Cleric/Rogue/Hierophant/Darkfire Disciple-Build Advice

Unread post by Tekill »

Hello nice Baldur's Gate people!

I was toying with the idea of playing a good or neutral character and have been toying with a build for a class I never play- the Divine caster!
So I came up with a unique spin (I think).


Cleric 9
Rogue 5
Hierophant 6
Darkfire Disciple 10

Taking the spell power ability 3 times I should still have a caster level of 30 (I think). I wont bother making him a sneaker - but he will still have sneak damage and some good skills.

My logic here:
If I roll an aasimar, I might be able to squeeze in epic divine might. But I do not want to min/max this guy and want to role a Half Elf. So no Epic Divine might.

So I will jack up the Wisdom and Strength mainly- most likely.

I am worried about damage output and so my question here is, does anyone have any suggestions on feats I can take to spice up the character a bit? I will probably take Expose weakness for the AC debuff. Probably divine shield/might. Blind fight. Extend spell.

I am not very knowledgeable about the attack feats for example. What would go well with a melee cleric?
Or should I go DC Cleric (I'm leaning towards melee)?

What else can I take to help him kick butt, since he wont be using EDM?

Northland Hewing?

Thanks in advance!

Hierophant has a wis requirement of 19 so edm is not possible or you sacrifice a lot. The best option is max STR and NH

I made a drow build in the past which I still play but it is now grandfathered. With an aasimar you will be able to hit that 19wis easier. I got feint from a domain and maxes bluff so you can deliver sneak attacks that way. You can also get the feint feat from a belt

PS we have devs talking about build variety and introduce the cosmo feats while for the hierophant prc they introduced a wis requirement of 19 :roll: :arrow: :violin:

Great tips mrm3ntalist. Thx.

Does anyone know if Northland hewing and feint work together at the same time?

They do work together. NH is a mode while feint needs activation like knockdown

I have a dual macer, however, had to sacrifice a lot to get PTWF...
He' does great in a party and is awful alone.
