#1 clerichunter Jul 05, 2013 22:20:12	Hey everyone. I've been lurking for a bit, but now it's time to get my feet wet. I'm joining a party already in play, and I'm noticing that it's very melee heavy. As such, I'm thinking of bringing a Caster/Skill Monkey/Healer Cleric to the table to round things out. The Party consists of an Elf Melee Ranger, Human Paladin, and I believe an Orc Fighter or Barbarian (haven't heard much about him) all level 4 at the moment.   Book availability is by request, so already I'm thinking of going along the lines of a Human Cloistered Cleric to open up the skills, along with the Luck and Trickery Domains (I'm told I'll get Dragon Domain for free as part of the story) What I need help with though are the following: 1) Is this a sound move considering the party? 2) What sort of feats should I invest in? 3) What should my spell list and equipment list look like? (also, no nightsticks). Also if there are any other suggestions, I'm more than happy to hear them.

You've already got a skill monkey in the Rogue/Ranger (who would be better off as a Scout/Ranger with Swift Hunter). You don't need to be a dedicated healer (Tempest has the link), and you can be AT LEAST as good at melee as everyone else in the party, with the possible exception of the barbarian. Also, I remember that, for a while, there was a recommendation of the Kobold domain, but I don't remember why.
