Iron Gods - Crafting Melee Cleric


Advice


Greetings Travelers,

I've been trying to make a Divine Crafter of Brigh for my friend's Iron gods campaign and have essential hit a point in building this character where it feels like I'm just ramming my head into a wall.

This is less about making an optimized cleric and more about bringing a specific character concept into the game.

For the character I wanted him to be a human(kellid) that weild's a gear headed large hammer. His primary mission to Brigh is in the retrieval and protection of lost technology. I also wanted him to craft items(first magical then technological.)

Originally I had planned a Warpriest(forgepriest) to fit the concept, but it seemed a bit weak at levels 6+. Then I looked at Iron Priest(cleric archetype) but that seemed too feat and skill starved. Then I looked at a Metal Seeker Oracle, which is the best in terms of raw power, but I would much rather play a prepared caster.

- General character Concept (I'm willing to change any of these so long as it fits the character concept)-
Cleric(or follower) of Brigh
Spells and/or abilities that affect constructs
Reasonably good in combat (not necessarily the best, but good enough)
Uses a large 2h weapon in the form of a hammer (I'm willing to reskin similiar items to fit this description, right now I'm using an Earth Breaker for a base)
no reach cleric (though I am aware of this builds power)
Skills: Disable Device, Knowledge (engineering), and Spellcraft
Feats: Technologist, Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Craft Wondrous
Preferably a prepared divine caster

Any input would be appreciated, the crazier the better (not so crazy also works) and before anyone asks it's 20 point buy.


Channel smite and guided hand will allow full caster with accurate melee.
Another option, is skill focus arcane and eldritch heritage , choose weapon and enchant it guided...

I had a melee cleric using feather and i think glory or trade.
4 feats went the melee path, power attack, smite, guided and book companion, rest went meta magic and summons. Was really nice to play....
