help building a cleric of shelyn


Advice


Im looking to create a cleric of Shelyn utilizing her glaive as a reach cleric. I would like to be a decent battle cleric, without giving up to much casting prowess. i have a 25 point buy and will be starting at lvl 6 16000 gp starting equipment 2 traits.

I was thinking:

Human
(crusader)cleric 6
str 14
dex 14
con 14
int 12
wis 14 (+2)
Cha 12

Protection (defense)domain
feats:
lvl 1 combat reflexes, (human)power attack, (crusader)heavy armor

at this point im out of ideas


I honestly wouldn't bother with Crusader. The extra feats won't help you as much as the straight up attack and damage Inspire Courage can give you in the evangelist archetype.

With the Defense domain you already have good spell options to pump your AC. So heavy armor isn't as necessary.

Also you don't qualify for power attack at level 1.

My thoughts on feats with evangelist?

H Combat Reflexes
1 Toughness
3 Power Attack
5 Lingering Performance

I'd also just dump INT. As a human you'll effectively have 2 points per level anyway and the extra 6 points dumping it will grant you can be stuck into improving your strength. If you use favored class bonus on skill points you are still looking good. Though honestly I'd just stick them in hit points.

What you end up with is a light armored glaive wielder that still hits hard while simultaneously supporting the rest of the group.

Hope that helps.
