Designation: Battle Cleric

Character Goal: Combine a kick arse combat character (ie, pre buffing) with the full spell casting abilities of a cleric. Focus on buffing and healing spells, with a few summoning spells and only a couple of offensive spells (due to very low DC on the spells).

I tested her out against a prismatic dragon. After fully buffing, was no problem at all. Cast Divine Favour a second time mid battle, no healing needed (was regenerating though thanks to the spell). Couldn't penetrate the DR on the prismatic dragon, so every hit had to overcome the 30 dr first
