Hey folks, I'm hitting level 5 soon with a high strength reach cleric and trying to figure out what I should prioritize feat/gear-wise next level and plan ahead a little.

The game is almost all Core, the DM might let me grab Holy Vindicator later, or I'll likely just stay all cleric.

My pc is a human level 4 Cleric of Gorum Strength/Destruction domains with a MW longspear and greatsword and other things for backup. My feats are improved initiative/combat reflexes/power attack. Traits are Veteran of Battle and the trait that gives you acrobatics as a class skill and +1 to it. We are currently in the last part of Skinsaw in Sandpoint stumbling across the you-know-whats in you-know-who's house. The stats are

Str - 19
Dex - 14
Con - 14
Int - 10
Wis - 16
Cha - 10

Don't ask about the stats, some crazy straight 1 for 1 20 point-buy.

The group consists of human Cleric 4 (me), halfling rogue/going sorc, half-elf ranger, human paladin.
My main gear is +1 breastplate, cloak of resistance +1, boots of the cat, ring of protection +1, handy haversack and about 1600gp with random potions and mundane gear. One question is since I have easy access to enlarge, should I upgrade and use the greatsword for just as much reach and more damage? Or keep with the longspear and lockdown a much larger area?

Also I have high skill in acrobatics to be mobile but found out I shouldn't be tumbling because of medium armor movement hindrance, so I need to get to work on a mithral breastplate. Does that mean I'd have to sell the one I have and save up/pay 5300gp for a +1 mithral one later since I can't poof it and make it mithral?

As for a weapon, I was thinking about getting the Holy ability put on my main weapon at level 9 and then see where things are then to add another bane or something later.

Sorry for the WOT, any gear/feat/training thoughts? I am considering going Holy Vindicator, but would lose out on CL especially with no magical knack, though serious casting wasnt my main thought (maybe it should've been). Should I stay straight cleric and just keep goin? I am trying to put together some kinda plan like I should've from the beginning heh, thanks!.

Hey folks, I am a new player and could use some help deciding what kind of gear to buy. We are just starting Skinsaw Murders, I have about 2700gp to spend or save. Atm I have no scrolls, am planning on getting a few restoration and other emergency/situational scrolls. I currently am using a mw cold iron longspear with a plain greatsword as backup as a cleric of Gorum.

Strength/Destruction domains, have combat reflexes/improved initiative/power attack as feats. I have +1 breastplate and ring of protection +1. I was thinking about getting a +1 greatsword for Enlarge use, getting acid/electric enchant later and then working on defenses again, or maybe ioun stone with +1 initiative and cloak of resistance +1 and maybe save the rest?

I'm thinking about investing in a Shield wand for the arcane to hit me with perhaps? Maybe I should keep working on defense first or get the +1 greatsword, or maybe a couple lvl 1 pearls of power to cover buff use? Too many options, I'm a noob any ideas help thanks!

Ok, I've read tons of d&d/pathfinder stuff over the years, but my actual playtime is virtually indistinguishable from 0. I am in a group of 5, almost all new players, with a DM who is totally new to it and he picked Rise of the Rune Lords as the first campaign to play.

So far the party will start at level 1 and consists of the following:

Ranger (archery)
Rogue
Wizard (me)
Cleric
Fighter (sword/board)

It is mostly core only with archetypes available and mostly Core spells.
The DM suggested a divination wizard, saying that the initiative bonus is good/being able to act in a surprise round is good etc. I sort of got railroaded into playing wizard as people sort of yelled out classes they wanted to play and I had said I wanted to be some kind of sorcerer, but the DM said I'd be better off playing a wizard with lots of knowledge skills.

So - I've decided to fill the gap and play an Elven divination wizard with evocation/necromancy as opposed schools. Are these bad choices? Any spell or other core wizard options I should consider? I dont expect this campaign to really go the distance with the current group.

I was going to try and go more control spell options over blasting, I would rather prevent damage in concert with the cleric than have him be the 'the healer' everyone seems to want him to be. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your time
