"Killer" Build # 3: Death
Priest




By Darkgolem




The Death priest is focused on using spells and occasionally melee to
kill opponents, meanwhile using magic to make herself a defensive
bastion.

For melee and rogue type enemies, Inflict spells are the main
weapons (since they are will saves). For casters, Poison spells do the
damage. If all else fails, a cleric can go toe-to-toe using Divine
Favor, Shield of Faith, Spell Resistance, and similar combat spells.
