cleric into custom paladin?

[rorek55]

I was considering attempting a "custom paladin" via multiclassing a cleric + fighter. Would this be viable? Also. Has anyone considered multiclassing paladin with clerics??

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. What's wrong with paladin that you won't use it?

I imagine a cleric/paladin multi would end up quite MAD, with Int being the only real place to put a dump stat.

Have you looked at Inquisitors? They fit well between the cleric and paladin on the martial to caster scale.

Have you looked at holy vindicator? It's a divine gish PrC from the APG.

General thoughts on a seperate idea for a paladin and said ideas potential effectiveness. And nothing really. Just different abilities. under the same name

So would cleric 1 paladin 6 holy vindicator 10 be a good idea? Honestly prestige classes are an area I know about the least.

With the Advance Class Guide coming out in august, there is the Warpriest which is a fighter/cleric mix that could make a decent psuedo-paladin.

If the idea is to make a pally substitute, why are you taking pally levels in that cleric 1 pally 6 HV 10?

Also, generally speaking, one should take more cleric levels to make use of the spellcasting ability from HV.
