[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7244712, member: 4937"] CR 17ish The casting ability doesn't add a whole lot to the CR or conversely the other abilities don't add a whole lot to the casting ability. If she's in melee, she's not going to get off a lot of spells successfully. If she's not in melee, then she's just a cleric without a bunch of gear - and cleric is itself a second line support class that is mainly useful for bolstering allies. A lot of clerical tricks to turn them into combat tanks aren't going to help much since she's already a huge outsider. If she has time to prepare Divine Favor, Bull's Strength, and so forth, it will boost the CR a bit - but that's mostly what she'd get out of spellcasting. The big worry of course is that she could get far away enough to get a Heal off late in a combat, but ultimately that sort of pure defensive strategy is just prolonging the fight and probably not changing the outcome. So we are dealing with a really what is just a Cleric with some unusual gear and a really bad AC. You could of course put the Aspect in a situation that greatly favors it and lets the Aspect get off more offensive spells in a more potent way, but that would be one of those situations where you award 200% normal XP owing to the unfavorable circumstances of the fight - not something that proved it had a higher CR.
