I'm on my way into a new campaign, throwing my cleric into a party consisting of two sorceresses and one psychic warrior who supposedly is on the tanky side. Now, my cleric usually does support spells/buffing, and I've had some good success with that in a campaign where the melee output comes from monks, but I've never seen a psychic warrior in play before and am uncertain how to best go about buffing one of those.
Does anyone have any experience and advice to offer on buffing that class or does it tend to work as with regular fighters where strength and size will be the way to success?
I should also point out that I make frequent use of the 3rd party spell "body to body" which is essentially shield other but allows me to share spells cast on myself with the recipient of the body to body spell, so personal range spells are welcome as suggestions.
I'll be going in as a 10th lv cleric by the way, but feel free to suggest spells of higher levels as it'll likely become relevant eventually.
Do you know what path the Psychic Warrior is using? Because there are like a dozen different ways to play Psychic Warrior.
I had to wait until they came online to ask, so sorry for the delay. But the psychic warrior has the ascetic and interceptor paths and uses a greatsword as his weapon of choice.
Because the psychic warrior has a limited choice of powers, ask which types of bonuses they provide so you can choose spells that don't overlap. Other than that, do your usual.
As is, from their paths, they have competence bonuses to AC and the same to attacks and damage rolls to opponents who threaten allies (which technically you are your own ally). So unless your bonus granted is better, it is a waste of spell to use.
