Message: <blockquote data-quote="delericho" data-source="post: 6297513" data-attributes="member: 22424">My big recommendation is to ignore any question of playing the Cleric 'well'. Bear in mind that if the players wanted a Cleric PC operating at full effectiveness, one of them could (and should) have selected the class. So, they need a body to fill that healer slot, but not much more than that.So, I would recommend picking a standard load-out of spells for the Cleric - stick to PHB spells only, stick to 'easy' buff spells, and don't be afraid to prepare cure spells (yes, an optimised Good PC Cleric would never prepare those, because they'd spontaneously cast them, but you're not running that character, so...)In combat, stay at the back unless Turn Undead is called for. Cast the occasional spell, but otherwise don't get involved. Basically, have the Cleric fade into the background unless specifically called upon.</blockquote>
