I agree with Jordoo, dual classing from cleric to fighter is a very trange way of going about it, especially at 12th level, before you get 7th level spells.

I tend to agree with the idea of Paladins being not really worth it mind, Carsomyr is good, but not THAT good, but DCing from fighter to cleric (I usually do it at 9th, but there are very good arguments for doig it at 13th) is the way to go. Pile all your proficiency points into the right weapons of course, I tend to go flail/hammer or flail/mace depending on alignment. With good parties, or parties with a Druid in I go flail/mace as logically Crom Feyr isn't available, but otherwise Flail of Ages + Crom Feyr takes some beating.
