[QUOTE="DM_Matt, post: 1663409, member: 1213"] Actually, Luminous Armor is basically for Exalted Arcanists. Its not great for cleric types. In the long run you might as well buy magical plate thats always on. Without the attack penalty its terrible its mithril plate that does str damage and takes up spell slots. This char doesnt have good area buffs or animal buffs, so Summoning is kinda weak. There might be better damagers than blade barrier, tohugh. OTOH, I cant take that much str damage, altohugh I have restoration. I really like Storm of Shards. Sanct 6, 10d6 ref half, blindness fort negates, d3 str dmg, very big radius, holy damage. Alternatively, Cometfall from CD, which does 12d6 ref half (if there is 60 feet of room above their head...its reduced otherwise) plus a good bull rush towards prone on a failed save and leaves heavy rubble. Instead of Stone Shape, although its a nifty utility spell, I like Celestial Aspect or Hammer of Rightiousness. Both do that annoying d3 str dmg. Hammer does d8/level against one evil creature, fort half, at medium range, and is the cleric in my RL campaign's favorite spell. Clestial Aspect is really versatile, with 4 functions and a free aciton to switch (1r/level). One gives wings that let you fly at 100(good), another makes your arm a +1 holy OR flaming lonsword, another gives you a 2d6 fire attack, and another gives you horns and a gore attack for 1d8+1.5str dismisses called or summoned creatures on a hit (save and SR apply) Detect Evil takes 3 rounds to be useful, is rude, and any pally can do it at will. I prefer Eyes of the Avoral (+8 spot checks for 10minutes/level) or maybe some utility spell. Another great spell that I dont know what to cut for is Elation...L2, +2 morale to str and dex and +5move for all friends in an 80ft radius, 1r/L..Perhaps Bulls Str. It has a longe duration, but this gives just as many stat points (altohugh they are less sueful thal all in str) in a radius. [/QUOTE]
