Cleric Pathfinder Savant


Advice

Sovereign Court

Hey Gang,

I've got an elven caster cleric (Divine Strategist) of Shelyn. Like 8 Strength, 16 Dex, 18 Wisdom, 8 Charisma and so forth. The idea is to then slide into Pathfinder Savant because I like the prestige class and want to play it.

Issue is I've been wracking my head trying to come up with good Esoteric Magic choices for Cleric. I found a few other threads but they were all wizard focused and also a bit dated.

I know summoner haste is a key one to nab. I want Ill Omen and Good Hope too just because...well awesome. What else though? I can actually get a total of 6 here and am curious if anyone has ideas.

Barkskin? Gallant Inspiration?

Sovereign Court

Oooh, Gallant Inspiration. I like that one, thank you. Seems worth a 3rd level slot.


I would look to grab a decent spell which does not allows SR. Caster Clerics have little that they can do offensively against creatures immune to magic like Golems outside of summoning. Glitterdust, Aqueous Orb, Acit Pit etc all work very well against them as well as being extremely effective battlefield control in their own right.

The Exchange

I was going to use these on my wizard savant but they are still amazing here as well.

Chains of Light

Angelic Aspect Greater (yes this is an 8th lvl spell in a 4th lvl slot enjoy)

Life Bubble in a 3rd lvl slot.

Fickle Winds in a 3rd lvl slot.

Bestow Grace of the Champion if you plan on being lawful good.

Thinking on it a bit maybe Ill try and make this character a cleric to change things up. Thanks.

Do much summoning? Travel with many paladins or good clerics or warpriests? If so, Litany of Righteousness would be pretty sweet for a 3rd level spot.


Heroism is always nice.

Sovereign Court

Appreciate the suggestions! Litany of Righteousness was a good idea too.

Really going this route caster-wise is looking harder then a more melee spec when it's grabbing holy sword or the like. Still it shall be interesting. Magic Jar! Bwahaha!


What domains do you have?

I would probably add a transportation spell, and a spell that was SR:no. Potentially something that defeats swarms and/or golems, weak spots for most clerics.


You follow Shelyn? Take Irresistible Dance from the bard list, if only for fun.

Sovereign Court

Domain? Oh, picked Defense actually, or rather the Protection subdomain.

Irresistible Dance is a good spell but that's a 7th level slot so a bit beyond most play the character will likely see.
