...and by "good", I mean "powerful", "useful", or "fun" - though the Cleric in question is Lawful Good, if you wanted to know.
Yeah, it's me, back for getting more advice for our party. This time, I'm looking for spells I should suggest to the party Cloistered Cleric.
I am aware that there's a Cleric handbook on Brilliant Gameologists, and there's also one saved from the WotC forums here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?450575-The-Cleric-Handbook)... but honestly, I know that there are lots of spells on the Cleric list, and just because it's not one of the best, doesn't mean that it's not worth it.
And also, the Cleric's player says he "wants to play something new". He isn't looking for especially awesome spells(the handbooks I have cover that decently). He does plan to optimize more, if he feels that it's going to be needed.
This is our party layout. I include this because different parties need different spells.
•LG Whisper Gnome Cloistered Cleric 5(Deity: Rill Cleverthrush)
-Stats: 8/16/16/16/16/8
-Domains: Knowledge, Travel
-Feats: Knowledge Devotion*, Obscure Lore, Travel Devotion
-Weapon groups: Basic, heavy blades
-Special: The player says that he's played RPGs a lot, so he wants something new. He doesn't really seem to have optimization in mind - and that's not a problem, since he's the only tier 1 class - but he did say that his character can learn to become better if needed.
Also, the DM allowed him to trade his bonus Knowledge domain for the Devotion feat and take it again from his normal domain choices(Rill Cleverthrush has Knowledge, Travel, and Magic).
Plans on getting DMM: Extend, but not Persistent. It also seems that he's interested in the Reach Spell metamagic feat. He wants to make the buffs he casts last longer, and his healing spells heal more.
Has the Collector of Stories skill trick.

The DM says that I can use the SRD version of Slayer, with no strings attached. I'm going to choose Cerebrilith for my FE(originally tried Psion-Killer, but that one's not psionic).
