Evangelest Prestige Class help pleese.

[hughnme]

Hello everyone,

I've recently picked up Inner Sea gods and I want my Cleric of Sarenrae to take the Evangelist Prestige class.I'm fairly new to playing Pathfinder in the sense that our group is now starting a regular campaign playing Rise of the Runelords.

So to check I understand the criteria-it states you have to have the ability to cast 3rd level Cleric spells,5 ranks in any skill other than Knowledge Religion.So I cant take my first level of Exalted until 5th level?

With Aligned Class (Ex) Does this mean that the first level of Evangelist cannot use any of the aligned class features until Evangelist level 2?

Thanks for any help.

Basically, unless you have a SLA of 3rd level, you have to wait till 6th level to take the PrC. This is because you can not take the level till after you have 5 ranks, and since you add ranks after choosing the class, you have to wait. That said, if you have a SLA of 3rd level, you may take your first level in the prestige class at 4th. Basically, the level after you take Diefic Obediance. (Note: If this is PFS, you are forced to wait till 6th, as that is a restriction they place on the class entry)

The aligned class ability at Evangelest 2 basically means you treat all your cleric abilities as your HD-1 (specific to this case, additional multiclassing makes it more confusing)

So, at 5 levels of cleric, your Channel, Domains, Aura and Spells all consider you a 5th level cleric.

At Cleric 5/Evan 1, your Channel, Domains, Aura and Spells all consider you a 5th level cleric

At Cleric 5/Evan 2, your Channel, Domains, Aura and Spells all consider you a 6th level cleric.

Thanks for the reply,sorry I'm new to this Prestige Class stuff.
What do you mean by SLA and PrC

Thanks.

PrC is short hand for Prestige Class
SLA is short hand for Spell Like Ability

They decided (recently) that SLA count as Spells for the purpose of qualifying for PrC. Thus, you can use certain races/classes to get early access to certain PrC, like the Evangelist.

I have a suggested improvement.

My last character was very similar to yours, a cleric of Sarenrae.

I took 5 levels of cleric, then one level of the Exalted Pr C, then went into Evengelist with the aligned class as Exalted.

This has numerous benefits and is very efficient, you only have to take and comply with diefic obedience once to qualify for both classes. Amongst other things, you eventually get back most of the channel energy feature you stopped progressing in when you went into the prestige classes. And as I recall, there is almost no reason not to.

Read both PrCs, drool a lot over what you will eventually get, then follow my advice. :)

Evangelist is good with any prestige class actually. Some of the best options are ones that improve many features, such as the Mystic Theurge and Eldritch Knight.

Thank you all for the replies.

Joynt,would it be possible to post or send me you your Cleric's build?I'd be greaful.

I have to confess Prc stuff is a little hard to grasp however I'm getting there.

Hello Hughnme,

I am quite happy to email you my build. I will need your email address.

You will need herolab to read it however.

I am not the great sage of all things Pathfinder some people on this site are. Competent perhaps, so don't expect an absolutely optimal character. That said, the idea is a good one.
