Tips: Becoming a Divine Champion

• Paladins gain some of the fighter's combat abilities by choosing to become a divine champion.
• Conversely, fighters gain paladin-like abilities by playing this prestige class.
• Militant clerics may also find this prestige class appealing.
• This class should also be very interesting for rogues because it gives increased saving throws, fighter-like abilities like bonus feats, increased base attack bonus and hit points while continuing a high reflex save.
• Sorcerers have a synergy with this class as a high charisma improves many divine champion abilities.
