Build Request: Laser Cleric (3.5)

[Starbuck_II]

Actually, the 'lose requirements, lose PrC' thing only applies to PrCs in CArc and CWar, IIRC. Otherwise, the Dragon Disciple is even more nerfed.

Dragon Disciple is broken: it doesn't work.

Normally, I'd agree with you, but it makes the spellthief incredibly broken. Consider thus: a spellthief, under the reading in which it can qualify for things with its thefts, can qualify for any arcane, divine, invoking, psionic, mystery, truenaming, or class combination thereof.

One could also make the argument that you could use UMD/UPD to emulate a race, feat, or class to qualify for more stuff.

Yes, it would be broken, but I think RaW supports my view.

You might also want to concider the archivist instead of the cleric, HERE

Archivist, however, wouldn't qualify for Eldritch Disciple, as it cannot turn undead. Actually, that prevents Favored Soul from entering as well.

ED's easy to enter, but I'd be torn between entering as a Warlock2/Cleric3 or a Warlock1/Cleric4. Warlock2 gets you Detect Magic at will, but you'd end up as a Warlock 12, which (invocations-wise) gets nothing. Cleric 18, on the other hand, has an additional 9th-level spell over Cleric 17.

The Eldritch Disciple is my favorite part of Complete Mage. If I could run down someone local with a 3.5 campaign, I'd be playing an ED. :)
