Hi everyone,
I'll be playing a cleric (Fharlangh) in a soon too start campaign, basically as a support character for some first time players, so they can do things without having to bother too much about healing and stuff.
Now, as for my role role in combat, I'll probably be buffing the players (pre-combat), summon a monster for melee support and running around healing afterwards :). During combat, I plan to focus on throwing spears/javelins, basically for a change of scenery.
To cut a long story short, what would be a suitable build for my cleric?
As for feats, Precise shot (and thus point blank shot) and Action Surge (since it's a spellcaster) seem to be a no-brainer, then what? I know my DM would highly approve Divine
Metamagic stuff (he's a real powergamer), but I want to try to limit that.
As for equipment, I guess the weapon of choice would be a returning javelin/short spear (or multiple of those as soon as I get multiple attacks), as well as the usual stuff. Anything in particular I should think about?
As for Class advancement, I see little to gain from going straight Cleric, but I wouldn't know what kind of prestige class what suit the character. I was thinking about Stormlord at first, but it looks a bit skimpy on what it has to offer considering I have to waste 3 so-so feats on it.
Any suggestions? Available books are Core+XPH+PHB2+(the older) Completes+ECS.
Thanks!
