Anyone have any suggestions for Multiclassing everyones favorite dour cleric, Harrim? Since the game is so new the only other build for him I've seen is for a Blight Druid/Cleric. I feel like he is the only character I've ran across so far, I have 9 characters at the moment, who truly needs a little more "oomph" to make him a better character.

Thoughts and/or suggestions?
I multiclassed him to fighter to get extra feats and armour training.

Thats what I've been leaning to as well, Hickory. I just NEVER played a cleric in Pathfinder tabletop, so I'm a little wary with utilising him properly.
A Blight Druid? Huh. I can't say the concept doesn't fit his attitude....interesting.

Fighter dips for Clerics is a classic from the begining of D&D 3.0, so yeah, totally.
I level him up as default cleric since he can wear armor. He can also wear plate armor without taking feat I think. (regular cleric in pathfinder only get medium armor proficiency) Enemies with range attacks may attack party members behind rather than frontiers and Tristan got shot to death lots, I found Harrim more reliable, only getting killed when the party gets wiped out.

His domain power is pretty meh though.

Right?! It was a very interesting YouTube build that had a lot of people in the comments frustrated! lol

I dont understasnd why they didn't make Harrim a champion he has such crappy "cleric" stats undead basically ignore him and that's half of what clerics are best for.

All the companions except octavia have weird bad stats

A tower sheild fighter should have a better dex or dhe wasts those specials.
He is much more powerful as a pure cleric. Seeing as how he can already use full plate and a dwarven waraxe, you won't be getting anything better equipment wise by giving up a caster level. Also he won't get enough bab bonus for it to matter unless you take 6 or more warrior levels, which basically gimps him as a caster in return for a marginal melee dps increase.

You only need 4 levels of full BAB + cleric to get the 4th attack at lvl20.

You are, of course, correct. However, it is still not worth giving up 4 caster levels for.

No, unfortunately it would be far too expensive.

There was this amazing feat in NWN2 that would recover up to 4 caster levels if your total level was higher than your caster level, so a 16clr/4fgt could still have the DCs of a 20clr.

There are a lot of feats that I miss here. I'm really hoping the expansions will flesh that part out.

If you want a good spellcaster cleric you go with Tristian.
I gave Harrim a wisdom boosting headband, spell focus and GSF in necromancy, and specialized him (for now) with Bestow Curse. He's doing a pretty damn good job of debuffing.
