So I'm building a new Character for my LGS's Season 8 start (we wait until more of the season is out) and I had this Idea of building a Trickster Cleric who serves the Lantern King but have never played a cleric before.
What are the basic feats, stats and things necessary for a trickster Cleric? I've played a Rogue before so that's what endeared me to the idea.
no thoughts huh?

Take Cunning for +1 skill point per level if it's legal. Consider the Cardinal archetype for more skills if it's legal. There's a Feysworn prestige class that you might want to check out if it's legal.

I like that Idea. Would the loss of spontaneous casting be too much as cleric?
what is cunning?
You keep Channel Energy, I think, so not that bad.
Cunning is from the Villain Codex (or whatever it's called). Toughness for skill points, basically.
Are you thinking of a fighting Cleric, or a spellcasting Cleric? Or one that does both?
Cardinal works nicely for skill points on a purely caster Cleric, but your ability to fight is pretty much DoA.
A slightly multiclassed Cleric can be a very effective fighter/caster while grabbing some extra skill-points.

Herald caller is a cleric archetype with 4 base skill points and about the same combat ability as normal, unlike cardinal or cloistered clerics.
That one also sounds interesting.
I am unsure of whether I'd be a purely caster or fighting ceric, I kind of wanted to do both, but more especially use trickery and deceptionn to do both.
Herald Caller is a great skillpoints option, even if it's a pity to give up a Domain when Lantern King grants such nice ones.
The Domain Strike feat is a very cool way to use Cleric powers, and both Chaos and Madness grant truly awesome powers. Punching Chaos Touch or Vision of Madness into a foe is epic.
One of my favorite things to do with a Cleric is to use one level of Unchained Monk, since you can use flurry with a weapon and wisdom AC. Another option is a level of Snakebite Striker Brawler to gain 2d6 Sneak Attack, and maybe fight with a blade in one hand and Domain Strike with the other.
I second BadBird's idea of mixing in a level of Unchained Monk, and then using the Domain Strike feat. If you go that route, the Cleric archetypes that lose armor proficiencies may become more attractive, as well.

Okay so I think I got it figured out,
I'm gonna go herald caller and then go into the Feysworn prestige class. What level do you think I should pick it up, or would the prestige class be too debilitating to the herald Caller archtype?
