It is actually a leftover of when the build was a Crusader>Divine Paragon where I got Weapon Focus at Level 1. On that topic, I can justify going to a Sorcerer/Oracle level of progression, so 1 Prestigious Spellcaster could be lost, but I think anymore would be too muchVoodistMonk wrote:I would consider lowering your Constitution to allow for a positive Stength modifier.

<p>Is it the Elephant in the Room feat tax rules allowing you to pick up Erastil's Blessing at level 1? Othetwise, I do not understand how it's possible for a Cleric to start with this feat. The prerquisite Weapon Focus requires a BAB of +1, which the Cleric does not start with. So even a Human Cleric cannot use their bonus feat to start with both Weapon Focus and Erastil's Blessing. </p>
<p>Are the lost spellcasting levels worth 4 feats? If you didn't spend those feats, at all, you would still have 9th-level spells. A single trait can give you back two of your lost caster levels, making the Additional Traits feat worth more than Prestigious Spellcaster... in my opinion. You're still better than a 6/9 caster, and higher BAB than one, too. I honestly don't know if I have a single character built using Favored Prestige Class and Prestigious Spellcaster... I don't think I do. Not saying those feats aren't worth it for certain things, I just don't think this is one of them.</p>I like it, for the most part...
