LG Cleric.

I'd like to keep an "Inflict Moderate Wounds Spell" on tap incase I'm attacked.

Any reason I can't pop someoen with this if they are trying to kill me?

Use it to your little clerical heart's content. There's no consequence for doing so.

Technically you already "know" the spell, as clerics know all spells they are capable of casting (barring domains they don't have).

The question is, can you prepare/cast them? yes. Because you're good, you can't spontaneously cast one like you can cure spells (which is I guess where the confusion came from), but you have no trouble casting them like any other plain old cleric spell.

I'd say it depends on your god, and your domains.

If your god is Pelor, and your domains are Healing & Good, I'd say no way!! Pelor won't allow you to inflict grevious wounds on everyone!!!!!

If you are a good cleric of Moradin, yeah inflict away...it doesn't conflict with his doctrine or your domains.

But he will allow you to cave in their skulls with an iron bound mace.

If a DM says no, for reasons of flavour in their campaign, then OK. According to the core rules, though, you are not restricted in anyway.

Sure you can. Inflict is not an evil spell. The only restriction you have is that you cannot spontaneously prepare them.
