[QUOTE="Rel, post: 358823, member: 99"] Hey, frog. Glad to hear you are getting to play. Is Milo or one of the other players from your previous campaign going to be running the game? Anyhow, I think that Scribe Scroll can be a great feat for a Cleric since it lets you put aside those "once in a while spells". And a few extra Cure Light Wounds scrolls never hurt either. But that might be a bit cerebral for this character concept. If, when you say he's going to become a "fanatic", you mean that he will be taking the battle to the natural enemies of Moradin's people (orcs and goblins), Power Attack and Cleave are never bad choices. If you can afford to swap your stats around a bit to get a better Cha, Divine Might is also pretty nice. Good luck and have fun. Edit: Oops. I didn't see your post about taking him "as is" until I'd submitted. Given that, I see two possible directions to go: Alternate cleric levels with fighter levels and use the extra feats to bolster his melee effectiveness. This means that your spells will remain low level and you probably won't be able to be the dedicated healer of the party. But you will be able to buff yourself nicely by mid levels with things like Divine Shield, Bulls Strength, Bless, Magic Weapon, etc. Or, you could run with the combat casting thing and go straight cleric. You should be able to cast defensively no problem and delivering those "Inflict" spells with your hammer is a nice way to bolster your damage output. If you go this route, I'd say Spell Focus and Greater Spell Focus could be very handy. [/QUOTE]
