Message: <blockquote data-quote="pawsplay" data-source="post: 3351148" data-attributes="member: 15538">5 ranks of Heal is pretty ridiculous. I've never seen a cleric run out of heal spells... cure minor wounds is like a Heal check to stabilize, only better, and 0 level spells are like candy. If you don't have a decent Int, you could end up spending half your skill points on this skill. Obviously, humans and gray elves don't have it so bad.Healing Domain is pretty weak. The bonus domain is nice, true.It's an expensive feat to have. First of all, you're not fighting undead all the time. Second, even if you are, your base number of turning attempts is probably enough. Third, turning those uses into something else uses even more feats.So do fighters. And blackguards get armor proficiency. Frankly, 5th level is late in the game to be getting started on "cleric archer."Greater turning, from the Sun domain, is 1/day, so although nice, it's no great thing on its own. Healing is a rare domain to take, although it's handy enough. Almost always, when I see a cleric, I see domains chosen to open up the spell list and other options beyond "heal and turn undead." If you plan on healing and turning undead, it's true, the Radiant Servant is a pretty good deal, but the fact that it is not for anyone else pretty much means it's not broken. For instance, Radiant Servant as a bump on the way to War Priest would not be all that great.I disagree. I suggest avoiding divine feats unless you have a specific domain in mind, I recommend Protection and either Strength, Magic, or Knowledge as domains, I suggest you take no more than 1 rank in Heal, and I can name a number of other Prestige Classes offering good domains and powers.</blockquote>
