What about Druid RKVs? Are they any good?

Prestige Paladin dip + Battle Blessing.

Read the text of that feat. Now think about the RKV's class features for a moment.

thats a completely awesome feat even without RKV(even pretty good without Prestige paladin, for that matter).

Loss of Wild Shape and Animal Companion progression makes it pretty much strictly worse.

@Battle Blessing
It sounds more awesome then it is. A good 3/4th of the Paladin list outside of core is already a swift action to cast. It's really only useful with Restoration and a couple other spells...

Please do not neglect the Crusader 4/Cleric 1 entry, while not as strong in the long run it does offer the fastest possible way to acquire Thicket of Blades stance (level 6)

Actually since Battle Blessing only affects Standard Action and Full-round casting times, I don't think it would do anything for Restoration (3 rounds).

like i said in the "Spells that deserve more mention" thread, knight's move from SpC is extremely cool for combat-geared RKVs

GawainBS · « **Reply #29 on:** February 07, 2010, 05:25:08 PM »

BattleBlessing working with PrC Paladin is up to the DM, since RAW, you're casting cleric spells.

Alastar · « **Reply #30 on:** February 08, 2010, 09:28:01 PM »

Updated OP, added a Feats section. Added maneuvers. Keep this coming.

Will link my knight of shadows build.

I'll start a magic item section, just have to piece my thoughts together on what is good or not. Obviously nightsticks are gonna be in there, but what else?

Alastar · « **Reply #31 on:** February 08, 2010, 09:31:35 PM »

I don't want to presume on the quality of my work or anything, but maybe this could be moved to the handbooks section?

There are Handbooks that are much worse then this. don't feel presumptuous at all.

2 more PrCs that work with RKV are blackguard and pious templar, heck blackguard gives you both divine casting and rebuke undead.

crusader7/blackguard3/RKV10

paladin4/crusader1/pioustemplar2/RKV10/crusader3

GawainBS · « **Reply #34 on:** February 09, 2010, 05:41:38 AM »

Beads of Praying are pretty sure mandatory too.
Stunning weapon enhancement is nice as well, since you have above average CHA probably.

paladin4/crusader1/pioustemplar2/RKV10/crusader3

of course, that has you advancing sucky blackguard casting, instead of sweet sweet cleric.

Reliquary Holy Symbol from MiC is a gimmie (more turn attempts).

As are any number of nightsticks your DM will let you stack.
