I play a 12 level cleric of St Cuthbert with spell storing on my morning star. Whats the best spell to put on my weapon?
i like hold person (makes for easy hostages) or inflict serious (for a nasty touch)... but both of these allow a save. spell storing only allows 3rd level spells, so...
if you have a mage in the party, buy him/her a scroll of vampiric touch (if not already in the book of said caster) and have them cast it on your weapon. at 12th level it's a no-save extra 6d6, which then re-fuels your hp in return.K |

For non-Core books, I'd go with Wrack from the Complete Divine, a cleric spell that causes the enemy to be helpless with a failed Fort Save, or I'd go with Shivering Touch, a no save spell from Frostburn that causes 3d6 Dex damage, which is enough to paralyze almost anything.
Core spells for clerics are a little iffy, but Bestow Curse is nice if you choose the "lose 50% of their actions" option.

Blindness/deafness is a very potent spell with multiple benefits for you and lots of penalties for him/her/it. Yeah, an inflict spell is nice and if you have a mage that can cast something into it for you, I suggest ray of enfeeblement. Vampiric touch is pretty decent, but a little iffy for a cleric of St. Cuthbert, IMO. Yes, ROE is also a necromancy spell, but one that only weakens the subject for like a couple minutes or so, not one that sucks the life out of the creature.
Anyway, those are my thoughts.

Ray of Enfeeblement is always one of the best, I have to agree. And since you are playing a Good aligned cleric, it won't go against any of your beliefs, which in turn could cause you to lose favor with your god. Paralyzing touch is one that I have used before too. Just remember that as a good cleric, you must think through killing oppenents if you can. Follow that rule and you'll be safe!
