Hi everyone...
I have problems, understanding the cleric character creation.
I'm pretty new to PF and tried nonmagical classes but the cleric is a riddle to me.
I have pretty high wisdom and charisma (+3 bonus) but I simply can't figure out, how many spells I can have in my portfolio. I figured out, how many I could cast...
but...
I need help here.
I have choosen Iomeadae as deity and I guess, I can choose 2 domains (sun and law) and 1 alignment domain (good)?
And then there are the spells from the domains? All of them? Only a few?
I'm confused :)
regards
Christian
You only get two domains total. You can choose from the list for Iomeadae. What is your Wisdom, because that determines the total number of bonus spells you have. Also are you level 1?
A level 1 Cleric gets 4 zero-level spells per day. You receive one 1st level spell for being level 1. This spell you prepare once per day and can be any spell on the Cleric spell list. A cleric knows the entire Cleric spell list.You also get one additional first level spell, but this spell must be one of the first level spells from your two domains.
Ex: If you have the Law and Sun domains, at level 1 you have two 1st level spells per day, the first can be selected from the complete Cleric spell list for 1st level spells. The second must be either protection from chaos or endure elements, as these are the two first level spells per day.
Additionally you receive a number of bonus spells per day dependent upon your Wis Modifier. Look at Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells, that will tell you how many bonus spells you receive for each spell level. An 18 Wis will mean one additional 1st level spell per day at level 1. You only get the bonus spells if you can cast that level of spell already. i.e. at level 1 you do not get any 2nd level bonus spells because you cannot cast 2nd level spells, but at level 3 you do gain those bonus spells as you can now cast 2nd level spells.
Clerics of Iomedae can select 2 domains from the following list of domains offered by Iomedae: Glory, Good, Law, Sun, War
as an added option, if you GM allows use of the Advance Players Guide(APG), you may instead select a subdomain associated with one of the domain offered by your deity. The list of total subdomains offered by Iomedae is: Archon, Day, Heroism, Honor, Light, Tactics
You can't select both a domain and it's subdomain as your 2 domains. For example, You cannot select Glory as one domain and then Heroism as a second, because heroism is a subdomain for Glory. Selecting Glory and Archon is an acceptable selection, as is Glory and Good, or Heroism and Archon.
So to clearify, you can select from the following list of domains:
Glory(or Heroism or Honor subdomains), Good (or Archon), Law (no subdomains offered), Sun (or Day or Light), War (or Tactics).
But If I understood you correctly I can only cast 1 grade 1 domain spell in total per day on level one...
and 3 grade 0 spells (are those the Orisons?) from the cleric list (anything there). I have to roleplay 1 hour of preparation use the spells.
I also can cast any one domain spell per day.
What about the WIS mod of +4 ?
With a Wis of +4 you could prepare two 1st level spells, plus one spell of one of your domains, and 3 orisons (0 level spells)
Thanks a lot.
What about the WIS mod of +4 ?
That allows you to cast an additional first level spell.
When you are at higher levels, you will get additional bonus spells of levels, 2, 3, and 4 as well.
