[QUOTE="twizty, post: 6660827, member: 6795539"] First off, really appreciate all the replies. I wasn't expecting to get much out of a post, but you guys are great with a lot of info for a newbie. The DM actually apologized for how badly he nerfed me and assured me it wasn't on purpose. Said he didn't even think of someone running an Illumian Cleric. And no, it wasn't brought up pre-campaign. This was caused by an encounter that we had a 2% chance of finding. We found it! We still haven't gone back to town yet to report into to our "C.O.". We've communicated via Sending in which we've been ordered back to town and that cleric's everywhere are losing their :):):):). We're a 2 week travel away. As for the item and it's cost. I'm relying on the group to help me out here as I don't even know where to begin. Only been at this a couple months. They've suggested something along the lines of a custom Gloves of Spellcraft +10 which I believe they said would cost around 27-28k. I've got that, but it will just about break me. I'm still in the same armor I had a L5. I have no plans of trying to figure out what the evil sign in the sky is outside of gameplay. I've seen a lot of metagaming and don't like it. Ruins the story. I play in a 5E group as well (yeah, learning 2 systems at the same time) and they meta-game like mad. It's kinda disgusting. The symbol effects all Conj and Div spellcasting, however wands and potions do appear to work no problem. And to clarify, it is a DC20+spell level. Sorry. I am very tempted to get away from primary healer while this symbol exists and try to get creative with buffs, debuffs and damage. The party leader has done a lot to keep me out of combat because I'm the healer. I had a list somewhere of fun spells to do some damage, I'll have to dig them up. Feats and ranks are an option. As soon as the group gets back to town we'll be leveling we've been told. So there's some ranks right there, but it will be another level before I can grab a feat. But I'd hate to grab a feat just to combat this one issue. My PC has plans. Domains...well. I took Community and Darkness. My PC doesn't follow a known god. He's insane, broke out of an asylum and thinks his psychiatrist is his god. He's running around the world trying to spread the word of Beb. Took Leadership feat to assist in that. Working towards creating a church. He's managed to piss off Bahamut quite a bit. DM approved and let me pick any 2 domains. I probably could've chosen a hell of a lot better combo, but oh well. I'm going to do some digging, but any suggestions on non-conj/div buff, debuff and BF-control? Again, appreciate all the info. [/QUOTE]
