Battle Cleric Build

Optibuilds’ Martial & Pocket Cohorts PDF Part 1 (NEW RELEASE): Clerics are always great, but a Pocket Cleric is untouchable.  Learn how to build a Cleric who is always there, always affecting the battle, but never every touched by the enemies.

 

Dimension Hopping Cleric & Companion 

Character Theme: Yes, he heals and does cleric-like stuff, but he also dimension jumps to let his companion kick butt. At early levels you focus on summoning along with your normal cleric duties.  From fifth level on you are fighting with your pet.  Your pet attacks and you dimension hop him out of danger.  You can also do the same thing with dimension door and teleport once you get these spells.  Once you get ride by attack you charge the tigers back with a lance.  Your tiger gets  a full attack and you get a lance and then you run away.

Strategy: You ride and/or run up to your animal companion after he attacks.  Your companion pounces in for an attack.  After he does his damage you use dimension hop or dimension door on your companion to get him out of harm’s way.  Another tactic to cast

    Awesome build, very versatile! Must be fun to teleport/charge all over the battlefield! It would be great if you could finish the full description of the build (there still seem to be some missing part/unfinished scentences).

    Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
