Level 4 reach cleric shopping in ROTRL


Advice


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, was thinking about getting a +1 greatsword for Enlarge use, or maybe ioun stone with +1 initiative and cloak of resistance +1 and maybe save the rest? Any ideas?

A straight upgrade to turn your Longspear into a +1 Longspear will help, in the long run you can then upgrade it further into a +1 Corrosive or Spell-Storing Longspear for extra damage.

Since you're a reach cleric, nothing wrong with stacking Enlarge person on top of a reach weapon and pushing for a 10-15' threat zone. If they do manage to close, 5ft step back and wait for those attacks of opportunity to come in as they close again.

Other than that, scrolls are a good investment and if you don't have one already, a Wand of Cure Light Wounds saves you having to worry about converting your healing spells too often.

One final item which can help out, is either extra-dimensional storage such as a Hewards Handy Haversack, or a set of Muleback cords if you can spare the cloak slot. The former lets you carry a *lot* of spare scrolls, potions and alchemical items to help give you options in combat which aren't "stab them with the spear", the latter just lets you carry a lot more stuff than you'd otherwise be able to lift.

Answered in your other post. Try not to triple post.

Upgrade weapon. Get +1 giant bane and holy. Use greater magic weapon. You will be set the entire campaign as after book 3 80% your enemies will be giants. And everything will be evil. corrosive is crap. Spell storing ok but your a melee cleric your saves suck.
