[QUOTE="Matthra, post: 4353617, member: 67903"] Str based clerics are suboptimal, for many of the same reasons i said righteous brand is far from a ten. Almost all attacks are vs. AC, and almost all attacks require the user to be in melle. So a str based cleric has a harder time hitting compared to a wisdom based cleric, and is in the most dangerous position on the battle field, in melle with the mobs. Seems like a poor trade for abilities that are arguably worse than their wisdom based equivalents. However Str v Wis clerics is a debate for a diffrent thread. I think its safe to say though for all the reasons I mentioned that righteous brand is undeserving of a ten, It may be single attribute dependent but it attacks vs. AC, the bonus may be greater than lance of faith but your limited in your selection of targets, The build of cleric that can best use this ability is not the strongest cleric build, and the risk it exposes you to is far greater than its ranged counterparts.
