Clerics and Spiked Chain

[secher_nbiw]

I'm doing up a 4th level cleric for a PF game taking place in the Forgotten Realms. In choosing Kossuth as a deity, I gain proficiency with the Spiked Chain.

Should I go with Combat Expertise + Improved Whichever? That would pretty much soak up my feats. If I don't feel a strong affinity for either Trip or Disarm, should I just look at those features and say "that's nice," and take comfort in whipping bad guys with a length of chain?

If you're willing to wait till mid-levels, you can grab Lunge and only Lunge, and use your chain for that stuff from 10 ft away...and thus outside the range of provoking AoO. It's not perfect, but it'd let you pull that trick with only a single Feat investment.

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll take a look. Anything to not blow all my feats.
