The Aura of Resolve is potent for the fact that - whoever else may or may not be within the radius - the RSoP is always within that radius. It's a freebie +2 to his Will save that stacks with Iron Will. Just another thing to make him that much more potent.I think my biggest problem with the RSoP is that the illustrations used both in the CD and Dragon magazine incarnations suggest a back-rank, lightly-armored class, and that is blatantly false. My RSoP wore +3 full plate & a +2 heavy shield. With my typical quickened divine favor & righteous might spell buffs going he easily outdamaged the party fighter.But that's a base cleric issue, not a RS issue. My point is that on top of retaining all the great benefits of a standard cleric, my character had freebie RS stuff too. All he lost was an average of 1 hit point per level, which can be easily made up in magical gear.There's no real downside to playing this class, so it's overpowered. A RSoP in my campaign will be 7/10 on caster levels, will not gain martial weapon proficiency, will not gain a third domain, and will gain only a single Extra Greater Turning per day. And it'll still be a fantastic class.</blockquote>
