I usually DM most my groups games but I will finally get to play in the our next campaign. The party consists of a Wizard, Ranger/Rogue and a Paladin so I was thinking of rolling a Cleric as the Paladin will be the frontline meat shield. I want to make my character a bit of a melee feat specialist as well (taking feats like disarm and Improved trip). I'm not sure if I should start him as a Barbarian and then go Cleric or perhaps a Fighter to pick up the extra feat to use on Dire Flail exotic weapon proficiency.
I haven't really thought much more past this point except he hails from the a remote homestead in the River Kingdoms where he and his family would round up wild horses and sell/breed them. (If your familiar with Night's Dark Terror think of Sukiskyn). I have a few weeks before we make up the characters and I am pretty sure the DM will make us roll for stats so I can't give any details for you there.
Thanks in advance for any advice.... help me get get my brain juices flowing.

not being rude, but why Cleric?
you didn't give a reason for it
Unless you need to be cleric to provide healing, then you might consider a cavalier. If you have a horse background being mounted might fit very well, and those teamwork feats might be some of what you are looking for.

I do like the Cavaler and it would of been my first choice but I want the Cleric for healing. The guy playing the Pally only ever plays Paladins and he isn't to fond of being the party healer. I do have an idea with what I will go with now. Fighter for 1st level and Cleric after that. It will be a slow progress campaign so I have plenty of time to develop as I go.
Holy Vindicator does look like a nice option for further down the track too.

Oracle of BattleXX/Paladin2
Oracle adds revelation powers. Manuver Master: Trip, War Sight, Weapon Master, and full divine casting.
Paladin adds cha bonus to saves, a few lay on hands, All martal weapons and heavy armor.
They work realy well to gether. If you go with UMD. You can get a Ring of Revelations: Nature: Mount, and Ring of Revelations: Life: Channel Positive Energy. UMD checks is 20 to equip them.

Trip focused oracle of battle is a very good support build, esp if someone else in the party has positive energy bursting ability like the paladin does in your group. Gives you healing in battle as a free action, near-fighter level combat ability in your chosen weapon, good buffing ability, and suprising charge.
