Domain and Blessings access / synergy?

[grindyelmo]

What is the fastest way of getting both domain and blessing class features in one character?
Right now the fastest way I found was Divine Tracker Ranger VMC Cleric.
This would give me 1st domain power at level 3, 2nd level 16 (way to late) and minor blessings at level 4 and major at level 13.

I wanted to make a martial bad touch character and synergize madness domain with madness and repose blessings for praying to tsukiyo. This allows this concept to work with a non-evil character but locks me out of variant channeling madness for more confusion.

Do you know a way for earlier access and do you know any other cool combos for domain and blessings?

Thanks!

You can take the War Blessing feat to get the small Blessings class feature.

I'm not sure what synergy you're seeing there. The madness domain powers and madness & repose blessings look largely incompatible to me.

If you're after a means of getting channel energy and a domain on a full BAB character then the sacred servant paladin fits.

If you're asking for domains and blessings which others might see a synergy between, the trickery blessing and the chaos/protean subdomain give good odds you won't be hurt by nearby enemies. Variant channeling (earth) to create difficult terrain and the air blessing for a lot of range have some synergy, especially with the travel domain to help keep you from being cornered (there's one deity which allows all those - Onos). The strength blessing and the glory/legend subdomain looks like a lot of potential buffing with a workable action economy.

The synergy that I see are the later powers of the madness domain/blessing. You can confuse everyone within 30ft as a standard action and as a swift action force them to hit themselves.

So this potential character has melee single target debuffs (touch of madness) and an area debuff option.

The double repose touch attack (with quicken blessing) might just be to much to fit into one character that is feat-starved due to VMC. So maybe worshipping Groteus or the Lost Prince might be a better option to open up variant channeling madness.

Thanks for the other combo suggestions! I'll read up on them.

I have actually played this exact character

A Halfling Divine Paragon of Tsukiyo in a Jade's Regent Game.

I focused on summons and then Swift as Shadows + Hellcat Stealth allowed me to Snipe with Touch of Madness (from the Evangelist Boons) allowed me to support. War Blessing was a Level 11 or 13 pick If I remember corrctly. The Swift Action Madness Blessing was good on tp of the domain AoE. Never used my 2nd Blessing if I remember

I, personally, love Divine Tracker Ranger VMC Cleric. Great combination.

I find a specific Deific Obedience I want to play with, since the SLA's generally help piss-poor spellcasting... and I think it really fits the flavor.

I like Achaekek, for Full BAB, Greater TWF with Sawtooth Sabres... without prerequisites or penalties (Mantis Style Mastery)...

But it is really easy to pick a favored weapon/Deity... grab your Domain/Blessings... and pick a fighting style that your Ranger Combat Style feats can cover...

Literally everything is better for a Ranger... Spontaneous Casting... actual Cleric Domain with the Warpriest Blessings given by the archetype...
