This is my idea of a battlecleric, it relies completely on its spells to keep it alive, everything else is 100% offence. I find that with my turner at double demi I can stand happily in the middle of combat and rarely, if ever, die. So if a squishy turner can do it, then this should be able to as well Half elf - Pharlan Progression16 Cleric 4 Paly 1 monk 19 cleric Starting statsStr - 15 (19) Dex - 14 Con - 10 Wis - 12 (16) Int - 12 Cha - 14 (18) AbilitiesDex x1 Str x19 Pre-epic featsSpell focus divination Power attack Cleave Great cleave Ambidexterity Two weapon fighting Improved two weapon fighting Epic featsWeapon focus (Kama) Improved critical (Kama) Epic weapon focus (Kama) Epic prowess Great strength 3 Overwhelming critical (Kama) Devestating critical (Kama) Epic bonus featsGreater spell focus divination Great wisdom 1 Great wisdom 2 Great wisdom 3 Epic spell focus divination Legendary featsLegendary spell focus divination Epic spell: Greater ruin Great strength 4 Great strength 5 Great strength 6 LSA Listen Legendary weapon focus (Club) SkillsConcentration - 63 Spellcraft - 50 Craft wep - 63 Listen - 63 Tumble - 13 (on monk level) MiscUse Str arti Use Trans book Use Weapon crafting pandect Stats at 60Fort - 61 (65 double demi) Will - 64 (68 double demi) Reflex - 57 (61 double demi) 92 ab (90 when flurrying) 96 @ double demi w/ arti NotesAt double demi you can drop wis at creation by 4 and boost str by 2 for 1 more ab. The toon should get 12 attacks and end up with 10 divine damage from divine might.

Kleb, or anyone, how does this build get 12 attacks? It's early and I can't see where they are all coming from. Sneaky sneaky.

Using monk weapons with max attacks and at least one monk level should give 10 attacks per round (6 + haste + flurry + 2 offhand). The monk level and 4 paladin levels satisfy that, and he's using Kamas. A big reason battle clerics have 35 cleric levels is to maximize divine power -- it grants 2 extra attacks at CL 55. Hence this build can reach 12 attacks per round.
The only downside is Kamas are a rather bland weapon. The bonus damage per hit combined with number of hits probably helps, and the last time I looked at the upcoming weapon chart, kamas looked very good.

Cleric's don't get listen as a class skill so you'd either have to pick up lsa: listen or rely on splashing monk at 40 and only get 43 points.

I have to agree that kama's used to be bland but nowadays actually not so much. There are cold megadamage kamas from dulvaroth.. imagine beating on a pit fiend with 12 attacks and two megadamage weps.

Uhm, this may sound like a foolish question, but could you post an idea of optimal gear setup for this please? I would be afraid of kb when you are limited to robes, no shield and 12 attacks per round. Also I would be tempted to focus on nunchaku instead of kamas; it is monk weapon as well, does bludgeoning damage, has cold mega damage version (dulvoroth), and last but not least, it is unslaggable. Wearing only robes and not maxed discipline, I imagine tanking ichors could be painful.

Tanking ichors sure would be a problem, my strategy for them would be.. run away I think lol.
Here is the gear setup I was planning:
Helm - Visor of vigilance - Maxes your listen Cloak - Corruption - Elem resists Bracers - Transposed - Physical resists Armour - Pristine way - Most exotic resists Belt - Tia cleric - Spellslots Ammy - Orudins oath - Craft armour/craft wep Boots - Bur breach Mote - Magic resist (Locathah)
