Cleric Help

[Preaplanes]

Okay, so I'm taking a level of Contemplative and am worshiping Garl Glittergold. I have the Good Domain (what? We're up against a LOT of evil things this campaign and the whole party is Good aligned it's not a bad choice given those circumstances) and the Trickery domain.

Which domain should I take next? good domain list I found (http://home.comcast.net/~ftm3/ASMoNM/domains.html)


Also, any good recommendations on what to Divine Persist in a party of myself, a Paladin (spirited charge with lance), Wizard (generalist), and a dual-falchion Fighter?

Huh... I'd suggest Divine Persisting Footsteps of the Divine and then some sneaky abilities to try and become a skillmonkey out of combat. For your last domain, I'd suggest Creation for the illusion spells and creation powers, which will help with poisons and creating various alchemy.

Looks like Garl's domains are Craft, Envy, Gnome, Good, Greed, Law, Protection, and Trickery.

-Craft gets you major creation and forcecage.
-Envy gives you +1 to negative levels/ability drain, bluff, limited wish, simulacrum, and wish.
-Greed and Law don't give you anything.
-Protection gives you +cleric lvl to 1 save, and mind blank.
-Trickery gives you bluff, invisibility, nondetection, mislead, polymorph any object, and time stop.

It seems like there's only three choices. Mind Blank, Simulacrum, and Poly/Time Stop. Which of those three spells do you need most? I personally recommend either Protection for the save+mind blank, or Trickery for the general trickery. If you don't have a wizard who can cast it in your party, you'll probably want to grab Mind Blank over anything else.

In terms of DMM:P, there's not too many spells that you really need to use it on. I recommend anything that's rds/lvl or min/lvl. Spells longer than that can just be cast normally, or extended if necessary. My personal favourites are protection/circle against x, mass/bear's endurance, lesser/greater/superior resistance.
