[QUOTE="N'raac, post: 6661221, member: 6681948"] My bias is not to change my character concept and build for something like this. 10,000 gold will buy 13+ wands of Cure Light Wounds. As noted above, in-combat healing is pretty inefficient anyway, so this allows you to use your spells for other purposes. Check the various clerical buff spells for those that will stack with the Bard's abilities. Your domains have some pretty fair buffs, debuffs and battlefield control spells. One feat I got a lot of use for with a Cleric with some combat-handy domains was Domain Spontaneity - pick one domain, and you can use a Turn Undead to cast a domain spell replacing another prepared spell (same as spontaneous cures). May not be good if you have other plans for your feats, though. Whether you want to focus on personal buffs or group buffs depends a lot on your build - if you're already a fair combatant, personal buffs become a really nice choice. If not, group buffs and enemy debuffs become a lot more practical. The Cleric does not have to be a medic - this development actually frees you up from that preconception, giving you a perfect excuse to tell the party to invest some gold in CLW wands (which either you or the Bard can use) because you'll be directing your spells elsewhere.
