Good strategies against constructs as a cleric?

[Coidzor]

So I was just playing an anti-undead focused cleric after a long hiatus from the game and I realized that I had completely forgotten about what my anti-construct capabilities were, so I ended up putting up a weak-sauce bless & an in-combat bull's strength, I'm ashamed to say. (I mean, sure, I'm playing with a fairly low op group but in-combat bull's strength is just silly)

Level 7 Cloistered Cleric 5/Divine Oracle 1/Radiant Servant of Pelor 1, staying away from CODzillaing it up.

All sources available for spells and feats.

Quick scan through SpC, Summon Hound Archon. Or buff your allies. Without CoDzilla-ing it up, Clerics have few things that can affect contructs. Either pure damage output, which golems laugh at, or only affects outsiders/undead/specific alignment which constructs normally don't have.

Illusions are neat against mindless creatures, they lack the INT scoreto realize something defies basic logic.

Clerics get Illusion!?!?!?!?!!?!? :eek:

Illusion domain is the most obvious.

Pelor doesn't grant the Illusion domain, IIRC.

There's the spell Ice Slick in Frostburn, it's almost identical to Grease. Constructs typically have low Dex and no skill ranks at all, so chances are it will fall down or at least be stuck in place for a few rounds.

Ooo, I remember hearing that long ago. Sweet times, thanks for that heads up. :smallbiggrin:
