Cleric buff spells

Feb 18, 2009 17:31:04 Hi all, I need some help.

One of the PCs in my campaign is playing a cleric, and when he isn't there, which is unfortunately kinda often, I run him, mainly as a buffer so the PCs can't say I'm having preference for my controlled character or whatever. Makes them have more fun, and makes it a bit easier for me.

Now, I need some good buffs and their sources, because currently I'm pretty much using enlarge person and magic weapon (lvl 2 cleric), and higher level spells would also be great.

Oh, and I know the balance issues this causes, but buff spells with a target line of "You" can also be cast on other people, as close or touch range, (depending on what I decide). House rule.

Thnaks in advance!

Feb 18, 2009 18:23:11 I'm playing an Ur-Priest that relies heavily upon self-buffs and party buffs in a game. He casts cleric spells, but has no domains, so it might be a useful reference. If you have Persistent Spell and a way to use it without the spell level adjustment (Divine Metamagic, Anima Mage, an Incantatrix in the party, etc), some of these will be alot more useful.

I'll list buffs and also things that are just useful to the party, like divinations, etc. I'll list the source unless it is from the PHB, and give a short explaination for those that aren't obvious (or in the PHB). I'm only going up to 7th, because that's as high as he can cast at the moment.

1st
Sign-gives +4 initiative (SC)
Omen of Peril-Divination (SC)
Eyes of the Avoral-+8 to Spot (SC)
Lesser Vigor-fast healing (SC)

2nd
Guidance of the Avatar- +20 to next skill check (online)
Shield Other (PHB)
Divine Insight-Caster level +5 (Max +15 total) to a knowledge check (SC)

3rd
Magic Vestment
Mass Resist Energy (SC)
Mass Lesser Vigor (SC)
Blindsight (SC)
Mass Conviction-group saving throw buff (SC)

4th
Freedom of Movement
Death Ward
Air Walk
Divination
Delay Death

5th
Plane Shift
True Seeing
Divine Power
Greater Magic Weapon
Commune

6th
Righteous Might
Righteous Wrath of the Faithful (boosts attacks, SC)
Greater Dispel Magic
Heal
Find the Path

7th
Heroes Feast
Superior Resistance (individual saving throw booster, stacks with Mass Conviction, lasts all day, SC)

Feb 18, 2009 18:26:54 Heroes feast is actually a 6th level spell, you just had it extended in your spell selection. Righteous might and Righteous wrath of the faithful are 5th level spells, Divine power and Greater magic weapon are 4th level spells. Assuming Cleric list, of course.
