Hi there, I'm trying to come up with a cleric with a very, very limited book list, which DM arbitrarily set as the restriction:
PHB
PHB II
DMG
MM
EbCS
PGtE
FRCS
PGtF
And that's it. No SRD only stuff. Stat generation is random but a high powered method.
Furthermore, the deity list is core/greyhawk, things from deities that map DIRECTLY to greyhawk deities from other settings do so, the other stuff isn't available.
I'm thinking two options:
Worship Boccob, take Initiate of Mystra (reflavored to Initiate of Boccob), maybe go for Magic and Trickery domains, going for Divine Disciple? Beg DM to let Spell domain also work for Boccob, maybe?
Or
Worship an ideal, going for Travel & Trickery domains, pick up the ACF from PHB II that lets me get the travel domain spontaneous option (this seems a bit simpler).
No DMM, not even DMM Quicken, so I don't really know what to spend feats on... there aren't a whole lot of good feats with these book limits, for clerics that I've found... Unless I wanna take a bunch of combat feats and go spiked chain, or something weird like that?
The group has a Druid who was running under 3.0 rules, but I'll try and get him up to 3.5, and a Ranger. And that's it. Everyone is a newbie, including the DM, except me.... So I want to make this simple: Out of combat spellcasting, mostly, for utility and stuff, and in combat melee ass kicking in an easily understandable way.
Anyone have any ideas what to do?
