[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 3936442, member: 19675"] For the record, a Druid would also make a fine choice- weaker on the healing front, but very, very flexible. [B]Good Clerical Domains (depending on build, of course):[/B] Sun, War, Water, Air- each has something to offer in a desert environment, and would be my first tier of selections. Magic, Travel, Healing and Knowledge would be my second tier- still all very useful. [B]Possible Builds:[/B] Cleric3/Spec Wiz Conjuror3/Geomancer2: Can cast 1st level arcane spells in full armor, more skill points, and as I recall, gets a bonus to casting in his favored environment- here, desert. Cleric7/Kensai1: If you're going the warrior route, the kensai levels will really boost your combat potential. Careful building will make this PC as feared as any pure warrior. Cleric4/Your favorite warrior Class2/Kensai2: as above, but even more powerful in combat. [B] Items:[/B] Everfull Bottle: You can never have too much water, esp. in a desert. A caravan that can refresh itself on the move, or even bypass oases is unpredictable. Quiver of Ehlonna: at 1800gp, the best bang for the buck hyperdimensional storage magic item. Any class can find a use for it for weapons, for rods, staves & wands, or... Ring of Sustenance: why sleep, tote around food and/or get overheated any more than you have to? Disruption and/or Bane weapons could be handy in an undead-centric campaign, and definitely go for a good blunt weapon- fewer critters (esp. undead) resist blunt damage than any other kind. Morningstars are a personal favorite. If you have some kind of access to martial weapons, go with a flail. A shield is virtually a must. Besides protecting you in battle, it can also double as an impromptu shade or even a cooking vessel. [/QUOTE]
