Divine Vitality - still useful?

[Blazer]

If you have any charisma, even if through items post Mod 5, spend the 1 pt just to have it. It is extremely beneficial for the cost.

If you have decent charisma (10+ times turn undead), go with DV3.

Extra mana is always appreciated.

Yeah, I'm planning on taking DV 1, maybe DV 2 - we'll see how the APs fall. As of now he'll only end up with 4 turn attempts, before CHA items and enhancements, probably 5 or 6 after enhancements. Dunno if I'll have room for a CHA item in his gear layout. I'm not taking Extra Turning since I'm looking to go pretty much all out with the Null cleric - that's what I like doing most with my cleric. With the typical Extend, MT, and IMT coupled with SF: Necro, GSF: Necro, and Heighten, I'm outta feats...until level cap increase.

DV especially when combined with the ability to regenerate turns is great. You do not need to carry as many turns and when you have 2 clerics both with those enhancements you never run out of sp even on the longest quests and sparest of shrines. We just DV everyone including each other.

I admit the people I run with do not make characters that are super powerful. I doubt any of us even know how. At level 28 we have trouble getting even one stat over 40, let along several. But we like our game play even if we die often and get a real thrill out of a perfect run (no deaths). DV is really really helpful for us and out play style. (Most of us were old pen and paper players dating back to Basic Dungeon and Dragons or even the board game .)

If the programmers are reading, I respectfully ask that DV not be removed, nor the ability for clerics to regenerate turns.

It's Necro O'Clock!

It sure is. I haven't even bothered to look if it's the same guy doing the Necro'ing.

**** Necromancers....
