This may have been asked before, but I am unable to find anything.

Has anyone made one?

Or is pure magus better?

Dervish of Dawn gives +2 att/damage and saves a feat, but loses 1 caster level.

I'm considering going 1/x dervish of dawn/magus.

Thanks for any advice.

Few years back, our group set upon the task of besting the Rise of the Runelords campaign. No one wanted to build a tank, so I decided to give the Rage Prophet a go, and see how that worked.

I started with barb, added in oracle, threw in some rage prophet. Ended up just dipping into rage prophet and going mostly oracle, I think for the better in this campaign setting.

Now at level 16, I have to say...nothing comes close!

This guy is a beast!

Build breakdown:

Human NG

Oracle/Rage Prophet/Barb

10/4/2

HP: 198

Stats (rolled): current/(base)

STR: 24 (19)
DEX: 16 (15)
CON: 22 (17)
INT: 13 (12)
WIS: 12 (11)
CHA: 22 (16)

BAB: 12/7/2

Feats: PA, Totem Spirit (extra human feat) - Tamir Quah (+5 speed, +2 jump), WF(revelation) - Earthbreaker, Intimidating Prowess, Dazzling Display, Quicken Spell (house rules = 3/day), Improved Crit (revelation) - Earthbreaker, Craft Magical Arms and Armor, GWF(revelation) - Earthbreaker, Shatter Defenses, Deadly Stroke

Skills: Intim-32

Weapon: +3 Furious Earthbreaker of Giant Bane (LG size)=3d6 base/4d6 when enlarged.

Unbuffed, he's not that great, but...those buffs though.

With just 3 spells, this Oracle of Battle becomes an unparalleled beast!

Divine Power=+4/+4, Righteous Might=+4 str/con 5/evil, Eaglesoul=+4 str, +2 AC, +5 intim, fast healing 2.

Then add rage. Str = 36, intim = 47, HP: 274 (I've been to the 360's)

4 attacks/round @ +38/+34/+29/+24 +40 dam/hit (+4d6 weapon dam roll)

Let that sink in....that's with only 3 buffs...

And, I can cast heal, and "cure" spells on myself while raging.

Got mobs? Deadly Juggernaut.

Seriously, the funnest melee build I've ever played.
