Divine eldritch knight?

[doomman47]

Is there a prestige class that is basically the divine version of an eldritch knight?

[Danny StarDust]

The only PrC that comes to mind is the Holy Vindicator.

There could be some 3PP PrCs that I don't know of, but that list is found here.

With more flavour, maybe - look at a holy vindicator, or there's a bunch for specific deities.

[doomman47]

I'll take a look at the 3rd party stuff holy vindicator is not what I'm looking for and I couldn't even take it if I wanted to since they wont have the channel energy class feature.

[doomman47]

Unfortunately going threw the 3rd party PrCs on the d20 website yielded nothing.

[avr]

Like I said, there's a few for specific deities. Hinterlander/Erastil for one, Inheritor's Crusader/Iomedae for another. If you're willing to consider non-full BAB classes with abilities relevant to face-smashing there's more.

It's not a prestige class, but an oracle has a few options (that stack with divine favor/divine power):

The Ancestor mystery has the Blood of Heroes and Spirit of the Warrior revelations.

The Battle mystery has the Maneuver Mastery, Skill at Arms, and Weapon Mastery revelations (makes a good reach tripper with a polearm like a hooked lance).

The Wood mystery has the Wood Bond revelation. An elf (or half-elf) oracle that takes Wood Bond at 1st level and applies the alternate favored class bonus to it 1st-12th level has an effective attack bonus with the listed weapons equal to a fighter at almost every level (without the additional iteratives, true). Note that bows are explicitly listed as benefiting from Wood Bond (makes a strong archer).

Another option is a reliquarian occultist with the Trappings of the Warrior panoply (can select at 6th level).

Found a good alternative 3rd party archetype called hybrid oracle, lets me level in a 2nd class while still progressing oracle casting.

[Zwordsman]

What exactly are you wanting from the Eldritch Knight style thing?

[doomman47]

Martial like progression while keeping spell progression which is what the hybrid oracle provides allowing me to take levels in a base class while keeping my oracle spell progression.

[baggageboy]

Skyseeker is close, but if you can use 3pp then that opens better options.

[deuxhero]

With 3PP DSP's Battle Templar is a great option. Only 8/9 levels have casting and it's medium BAB but it grants the ability to attack and cast on the same turn. Warlord+Oracle is a great entry (though what exactly Ordained knight advances isn't clear).

[GM Rednal]

There is the Justiciar of Muir from Frog God Games, though frankly it needs a bit of tweaking for Pathfinder's more recent style and balance. Gives divine casting progression and a slew of very, very Paladin-y things.

Ah. yeah hope a3rd party class comes along.

Though if you are allowed to use 3rd party stuff.
Can you not, just make Eldritch Knight into progressing Divine?

3rd party isn't terribly different than a home game alteraton. Honestly other than the name "Eldritch" i really honestly have never understood why that was Arcane only prestige

also for note. Prestigious Spellcaster is a feat you might like. saves you caster losses

[Archimedes The Great]

I've gone into EK as paladin/sorcerer. We've basically skinned the game to say that it is my divine touch that grants me innate arcane spellcasting, and not necessarily my blood or whatever.

Though mechanically using the Divine spell list, I'm not really sure.

A divine EK also wouldn't really be all that different from just being a normal cleric from a BAB perspective since Cleric is already 3/4 and you don't have all those levels sunken into wizard/sorcerer. Unless you really want those fighter feats..

[Havzak]

If you are looking for a more martial focused cleric, Warpriest is awesome. It is a cleric / fighter hybrid class. You get 6th level spells, bonus feats that you can count as fighter to meet prerequisites, and extra things like self only swift buffs and spell casting.

Found in the advanced class guide.
