Note that conditional bonuses don't stack though. Probably go with shield cantrip since you will want a hand free for channeling. Maybe have a physical shield for a backup when you are out of channels.</p>Heroisim is pretty good as well. Note that conditional bonuses don't stack though.

For first level I have taken the Healing domain, later on I will be taking the Light Domain. I will be in battle wielding my Deitys favored weapon the Scimitar. I have two questions:</p>
<p>1) Would it be advisable for me to wield a shield? Or do I just cast Shield? Or a different option?</p>
<p>2) Which spells are best (in general) for a Cleric (level 0-4 spells). Could I get some opinions on what you all feel are the top 5 spells at each of those levels.</p>
<p>Thanks all for your feedback. Paizo nice job on the latest patch some nice changes were made (ie allowing casting with hands occupied).</p>Greetings all, I have chose to be a Cleric of Saranerae for my upcoming character.
