I am about to play in a Carrion Crown campaign. My character is a neutral good Warpriest of Erastil, with the Feral Champion archetype. With a Wisdom of 15, I can cast 3 orisons and 2 first level spells daily.
I've never played a prepared caster before and the last caster I did play used buff spells with a few utility ones. So I'd like some advice on what would be some good spells to choose for my warpriest. Obviously I don't need to prepare CLW as warpriests can sacrifice other spells to cast it at any time.
I've also never played Carrion Crown. All I know about it is that there are likely to be undead. So does anyone have any advice? I WILL be in melee most fights.
Bless
Protection from Evil
Sanctuary
Magic Weapon
Remove Fear
Bring a slashing, bludgeoning, and piercing weapon. A Morningstar and a sword works well.
I will look at Sanctuary. Magic Weapon wouldn't do him much good as he's a Kitsune Feral Champion so he fights with Claws and Bite. So his only manufactured weapon is a shortbow. I'll edit the original post to include that. But it would likely help the party so I'll keep it in mind.
I know there's going to be a Bard and Arcanist. I can't remember what the rest of the group was going to be. I know one will have an Animal Companion and that I and the companion are going to be the only melee fighters.
Good luck! And maybe think about a backup character. Carrion Crown is pretty deadly.
I will keep that recommendation in mind.
Weapons against evil first up. Burst of radiance and consecrate are a couple of 2nd levels of note.
Can't use Weapons Against Evil. It's an Iomedae spell and my warpriest worships Erastil. Otherwise I would total put it on him.
As I was informed a few months back, others can use it.
I'll ask my GM for a ruling. If he says it's cool, I'll put it on the list.
I put a small variety of spells on my character sheet that I figured I would be most likely to use during the campaign. Bless and Protection of Evil are on the list. I decided against Sanctuary since I would be unable to attack myself. And since I'm one of the only front-liners, I need to be able to attack anything that comes my way.
The other spells I put on the list are Detect Evil, Detect Undead, Divine Favor, Hide From Undead, and Shield of Faith. The 0-level spells are pretty standard - Create Water, Detect Magic, Guidance, Light, Purify Food & Drink, Resistance, Spark, and Stabilize.
I didn't look at second level spells since Warpriests don't get them until level 4 and my character is doing a quick dip into Adaptive Shifter before then. So I've got a bunch of time before I need to consider them.
I'd add Disrupt Undead as an Orison.
Also I wouldn't bother with Divine Favour yet. Bless is gonna be better for the first few levels.
Disrupt Undead isn't a warpriest spell.
Deathwatch it's also useful you can see which party member and enemy are near to die so you can have the final blow on the enemy or heal the friend near to death
Disrupt Undead isn't a warpriest spell.
Well I guess it's worth telling you why I got that mixed up - We had a full party wipe in book 1 of Carion Crown, and the Inquisitor player rolled up a Warpriest as his backup (I remembered the player using it, but I guess I got the character mixed up).
So ... be careful I guess =P

Ask of you can use the Spell Research rules to learn Disrupt Undead.
Alternatively, a Fate Blade lets you cast it at will. It might take a bit to get it but a back up is a back up where undead are concerned.
As for a spell you can pick up, Purify Body is a lv4 Warpriest spell and just amazing.
