Arvagor 01-28-07, 05:31 PM	What else do you find useful?Usually a holy symbol and a spell component pouch... ;)

Sieylianna 01-28-07, 08:37 PM	Make sure to carry a spare holy symbol. Ed
UMiskatonic 01-28-07, 09:27 PM	I'm a fan of full plate and heavy shield. My cleric rarely reaches for his weapon, so I've got a hand free to cast. Spiked gauntlets, of course, and all the things that EVERY character should have, like a potion of fly. I find it super useful to have a scroll for each of the usual ailments, like diseases, curses, etc. Also, scrolls of invisibility purge, water breathing, wind wall, and water walking. Maybe daylight as well, depending. Also, Protection from Chaos and Law are things a lot of people overlook. Have one ready on a scroll, and then a haversack for all the scrolls to go in.

GH Also useful: Sceptre of Obedience (MH, +5 on charisma-based checks; boosts Turning rolls, Diplomacy, etc) Mithral Buckler (instead of Animated shield) That Ioun stone that gives +1 competence bonus to attack rolls/saves/skill checks/ability checks (also boosts turning checks thereby). Luckstone (+1 Luck bonus on saves/skill checks/ability checks). Helm of Glorious Recovery is a good handing-out item, in case someone needs healing and you can't reach them in a single move action or without being AOO'ed by the big nasty enemy.

Paul H 01-29-07, 05:46 PM	Hi Depends on what role you see your cleric playing. Mithril Chain Shirt is good if you've got Magic Domain, since it's (only)! got 10% ASF. What's the point of being able to use Wizard items if you suffer ASF? My main is Clr/Warmage, so can only use light armour (Mithril Chain Shirt +1, Lt Fort). Has 2 Pearls of Pwr lvl 1. Also uses wizard scrolls. (Plus other stuff he loans out to rest of party - he's support character). Cheers Paul H

Gaelforcwynd 01-31-07, 08:10 AM	I think prayer beads, periapt of wisdom, cure wounds wand, and ring of spell storing are the most obvious. What else do you find useful? Scrolls of Dispel Magic, Eagle's Splendour, Freedom of Movement, Protection from Evil, Remove Fear, Sanctuary.. Wand of Fireballs, Haste, Lightning etc. if you have the Magic Domain. :D I have a question of my own regarding some gear I saw available from the Non-Kerk Temple's of Perrenland. Can anyone enlighten me as to what Heavy Plate Armour is?
UMiskatonic 01-31-07, 11:50 AM	Heavy plate is in Races of Stone, along with a lot of other super-heavy armor. It's not a book I have, so that's all I can tell you.
KarmaInferno 01-31-07, 03:51 PM	Lyre of the restfull souls" -4 on effective HD for turning checks to all within range. That sounds a lot like the effect of a Rod of Defiance. I wonder if they stack? I know most other bonuses don't but things that increase or decrease effective hit dice often do. -karma
_m_ 01-31-07, 07:13 PM	the super heavy armours: Heavy Plate: +9 ac, 0 max dex, - 8 check Battle Plate: +8 ac, 1 max dex, - 7 check Mountain Plate: +10 ac, 0 dex, - 9 check the latter 2 are exotic.
Frumpkis 02-04-07, 07:35 AM	Scrolls of Dispel Magic, Eagle's Splendour, Freedom of Movement, Protection from Evil, Remove Fear, Sanctuary.. Would a scroll of Sanctuary really be all that useful? Considering it lasts for 1 round, unless you walk around holding the scroll in your hand (as opposed to having it stored away and having to pull it out), I fail to see the usefulness.....:confused:
