Clerical Cohort Advice please
« on: April 01, 2015, 12:33:59 PM »
Hi All (First post, please don't hold back I open t suggestions)

tl-dr (summary thing)

Long part:
So I'm part of a game we've just hit 9th level now, I'm running a DMM Dip-tastic Cleric (Cloister Cleric 3 - Church Inquisitor  2 - Prestige Paladin 3 - [Ordained Champion 1 or Divine disciple 1])
My build is pretty solid as a gishy kinda guy but I'm keen to pick up Leadership and want to make my cohort a pure support role.

The limitation on the cleric is one base class + one prestige class.

Given the cohort will be level 7 All i have so far is
Human cleric 7
Spell focus (abjuration)
Greater Spell Focus (abjuration)
Imbued Healing
Augment Healing

The basic idea being Round 1 cast sanctuary DC 19 on itself.
Then run around just buffing and healing as need be.

Since it will be a cleric I'll take 1 cure spell per level and the rest will likely be buffs that can be sacrificed for spontaneous casting.

I'd love to have your suggestions

What Domains are you thinking, what deity, and how long do you think you'll be playing for?

What's everyone else playing?

What sources are open to you?

These are kinda important details.

Party composition:
Scout 3/ Ranger 6
Ranger 6/Druid 3
Brawler 9 (slightly modified monk class)
Rogue 5/Beguiler 3/ Shadow Dancer 1

Also a fighter 7 hireling (Tower shielding specialist)

As for deity, probably Pelor using Healing and Good domains but again open to suggestions
However since I'm a paladin and cleric of Heironeous the choice is kinda limited to LG, LN, NG.

As for source material anything except psionics. (even homebrew is allowed if the DM okays it but I'd prefer to keep away from that, this is just a cohort
EDIT: we're gonna play at least another 3 levels if not 6

Radiant Servant of Pelor sounds like what you want. It is great for a "bandaid" type of cleric. Maybe pick up the Touch of Healing Reserve feat as well.
