Hello there, I am new on the boards by registration, but I read them from time to time for tips or fun. I find myself in need of advice for the new campaign that my group will begin soon.
We're quite a large group, 8 people in fact, but the dm is able to keep us from stomping everything in our path without creating monsters that could one-hit us.
Our new campaign is going to be centered in an Egyptian-style theme, and he already told us that undead foes will be the most common thing we'll find ourselves against.
Against common practice for my group, this time it seems we'll have an overabundance of clerics, three from an eight people party, and another guy as a mystic theurge on top of that.
I have to admit this is the first time I try to be a divine spellcaster, and as such I find myself a little stumped.
Now, some details:
- Manuals are chosen on a case-to-case for the most part, with the Complete series and Draconomicon all-in by default, and only Exated Deeds and Vile Darkness banned for sure. Dragonlance is in, Frostburn is maybe (they were not published in Italy).
- Friendly stat-rolling, getting a couple of 18s won't be a problem.
- No Polymorph-family spell allowed. No Nightsticks.
I read some of the handbooks out there, and I had started making a build of some sort, but it's still incomplete, and it's been done by someone as myself, who never really tried to create a powerful build. This was my idea as of now, major points included:
Human Cleric 4/Divine Oracle 2/Radiant Servant of Pelor 10
- Cleric 1 -- -- -- Feats: Dynamic Priest (Spells to Cha), Divine Charisma (DC to Cha), Extend Spell (From Domain); Domains: Sun, Planning
- Cleric 2
- Cleric 3 -- -- -- Feats: Focus (Knowledge (Religion))
- Cleric 4
- Cleric 4/DO 1 -- -- Domain: Oracle
- Cleric 4/DO 1/RSoP 1 -- Feat: Extra Turning;
- Cleric 4/DO 1/RSoP 2 -- Empower Healing (Healing spells get free Enpower Spell metamagic on it)
- Cleric 4/DO 2/RSoP 2 -- Prescient Sense (if you get a successful Reflex save that would halve, you take no damage instead)
- Cleric 4/DO 2/RSoP 3 -- Feat: Persistent Spell; Aura of Warding (+2 morale to Will STs for me and allies in 10ft radius)
- Cleric 4/DO 2/RSoP 4
- Cleric 4/DO 2/RSoP 5 -- Bonus Domain: Glory
- Cleric 4/DO 2/RSoP 6 -- Feat: Divine Metamagic (Persistent Spell); Maximize Healing (Healing spells get free Maximize Spell metamagic on it)
- Cleric 4/DO 2/RSoP 7
- Cleric 4/DO 2/RSoP 8 -- Positive Energy Burst (1d6/CL damage to undead in 100ft from caster)
- Cleric 4/DO 2/RSoP 9
- Cleric 4/DO 2/RSoP 10 -- Supreme Healing (Healing spells get free Enpower and Maximize Spell metamagic on it
Dynamic Priest and Divine Charisma to get all the casting on Charisma; the Divine Oracle is to get the Servant of Pelor a level before usual and the Prescient Sense stuff. The Glory Domain helps with Turning Undead. Also, usual Metamagical Persistent Spell Cheese.
The problems I have is both having never done a Cleric, and as such being not sure of what role I want to be in the party, and how to continue/improve the build. As such, I would appreciate your opinions on it and suggestions. Thanks.
