Hello everyone,
we are goin' to play a low\mid level campaign (1°-10° level i think) with standard 15pt and only core rulebook :)
My idea was to roleplay a fighter\support cleric because it's possible that we have a second cleric in the party to act as support\healer.
Do you have any suggestion on building up a character upon that?
I read some guides and i extracted that a lot of persons usually builds up a 2handed long spear priest with a lot of AOE etc etc.
Is this still playable with only core rulebook?
And what if i can use others rulebook? (perfect priest, apg)?
I was thinking something about
Human\Dwarf
12
14
14
10
14
8
Combat Reflexes
Power Attack
And... well, i don't know exactly what.
I would like to "roleplay" a war-god Priest, but i'm not sure about the domains.
Or i thought "What if i play a Warpriest" (obviously if the master let us use other rulebooks over the core one)?
The campaign will be low\mid level settled so...
thank you everyone for your suggestions :)
Looks good. You don't really need a WIS of higher than 14 on a cleric, since you don't depend so much on offensive spells that grant saving throws. It's a shame to dump CHA, but you can live with it.
Combat reflexes with a DEX of 14 isn't doing a lot for you. Many clerics go for a 10 DEX and get heavy armor to compensate, and just use STR for all their combat needs.

If you're going for a reach build, you want as many attacks of opportunity as possible in order to maximize the battlefield control aspects of the build, so it can be worth it even with only 14 DEX. (I have a paladin using reach combat with 14 DEX, and I use the extra attacks all the time.)
With "Dwarf" i'll probably go on
12\10
14
16
8\10
16
8
but Human can be
12
14
14
10
16
8 (taking -2 here and placing on +2 strenght)
My doubts are about feats & domains\spells, i mastered this game a lot of years but i don't really know how to build a nice to role \ nice to play pg.
My advice would be to start with Rogue Eidolons guide to Clerics. It's Core only so it will tell you what you can and can't do with Core. Then look at Tark's Big Holy Book of Clerical Optimization. It's Core and APG so there should be a lot of overlap with what you want. Finally, look at Brewer's guide to Reach Clerics, which covers many Paizo products but is aimed at building Reach Clerics. If you want more, check out The comprehensive pathfinder guides guide.
