[QUOTE="Jack Simth, post: 4474967, member: 29252"] Hey all, I designed a DMM(Persistent Spell) Buff Bot Cloistered Cleric-15 for a short campaign (which is expected to be over), with the goal of him being an enabler - a buff bot, essentially. I considered him to be a success - two 15th level characters took down a CR 17 Green dragon (given the DM's proclivities with other monsters, it likely either had class levels, or was advanced a little). The ones I was using were Prayer (with DMM Persist), Blessing (regular persist, in a 7th level slot), and Mass Lesser Vigor (DMM persist). After the (probably final) battle, I picked up the ability to get another spell DMM persisted. Qustion: What are the best party-level Cleric buffs to use Divine Metamagic(Persistent Spell) on, of 8th level or lower (and note, I can only do one 8th level spell until I hit next level, where I get two more)? And yes, I know about the Divine Favor, Divine Power, Righteous Might combo - but I don't want to use DMM(Persist) with any personal combat buffs - they have to be things that will cover the entire party (voluntary challenge). The other party member was a Fighter/Psychic Warrior/Elocuter that was a melee machine (routinely did 50 damage per hit, was routinely getting two or three hits per round against AC 30, in the case of the dragon - but then, that's when I was using Prayer, Bless, and Greater Magic Weapon to help him, so that his wealth could be spent on things like Flaming, Frost, and so on to add damage; I was likewise using Magic Vestments on his armor so he could have Heavy Fortification, rather than having it all go to enhancement - a modification that he thanked me for the first encounter after it was noted that the DM had dice that hated him).
