A warforged Healbot

[DoctorWhofan]

Yes, I did it. I made a WF cleric. Splashed with one level of Sorcerer to help with the mana and repair wands/scrolls he has so far been fun to play. Of course, he is level 4, but you get my drift. My question: I took adamantine Body and mental toughness for my first two feats, what should be my feats up to endgame? Also, is there anything on the WF side of the house besides the obvious CON I should look into?

Here's my stats:

STR 14 = 12 base + item
DEX 9
CON 14 = 11 base + 1 enhancement + item
INT 12
WIS 19 = 16 base + level + 1 enhancement + item
CHA 14 = 12 base + tome + item

Sorcerer spells are detect secret doors and Master's Touch (just to see how the spell works)

Feats are Mental Toughness and Adamatine body. Have an lesser arcane sigil on (for the sorc spells)

So, does he look ok?


PS: I picked Sorcerer instead of Wizard for the mana boost from items and CHA stat, which clerics get as enhancements. And I have a tonne of high level CHA stuff. All those clerics, Pallys, and Sorc I play!

So, does he look ok?

First: Trissa did a WF?!?! A WF?!?! Trissa?? Wow!!

Second: Another cleric? That's your... tenth?

Third: I'm not a cleric expect, but first thing you'll be told is that Adamantine body will be a bad feat at end-game. You sould swap it out as soon as you set a foot in Gianthold. Besides, it gives you a fairly high ASF for your repair wands.

Four: What do you need 12 Int for?

I'll leave the rest to Impaqt and co.

[Arnya]

Sorry B but there's no ASF when using wands

My 13ftr/1wiz gets no penalty with addy plating!!

[Borror0]

D'oh! Right...

I told myself that wands must be behaving like scrolls.

[Blazer]

Also, is there anything on the WF side of the house besides the obvious CON I should look into?

I guess the Healer's Friend enhancements, so you won't take a huge penalty healing yourself?

[Impaqt]

I'd drop Adamantine Body today. Its simply not a solid feat choice. Composite armor with 1 level of Inscribed armore removes all ASF chance on your sorc spells.

As far as your 2 Sorc Spells, the 2 you have need to go..... Carry a Detect Secret door wand. There is no difference. and Masters TOuch? Grab Lord of the blades enh and use greatswords if you want to melee.

Good Spell Choices would be

Repair Light
Ray Of enfeeblement (1d6 STR Damage and no save)
Jump (I see Way to many cleric cry about their poor jump skill)
or even Grease (For Sheer entertainment value)

[Arnya]

Another idea would be drop the plating and use extended shield spell...

Expeditious retreat is another good spell for arcane-clerics until you can use 15% or better striders...

ER is also available on Scrolls/Wands though. and without Extend it is the same.

You certainly know way more about playing a cleric than I do.

And I don't know much about playing WF....especially at high lvl.

How martial do you want this char to be?
IMO a WF Clr makes a decent battlecleric.

WF have a - to Wiz and Cha.....both inportant to a cleric....and a Sor.

Adamantine Body is inferior to Platemail that fleshies can wear. Plus you can't take it off to jump on something.

Clerics in general get beat up by flamestrikes and lightning bolts, run slow, and can't jump onto their own bed.

But you'd be immune to holds and poison.....and some other stuff.
Have a high Con potential
Could build up DR.

In short be one durable rock.

Do you want to take Lord of Bleades enhancement?
With masters touch, I guess you want to swing some weapons around.

WF have Power Attack enhancements.....goes great with THSwords from the LoB enhancement.

If you somehow get your UMD high, you could use reconstruct scrolls...which would be nice. But might be too difficult to pull off, so maybe better to just ignore UMD.

I'd think repair light would be a spell you'd want.
Shield is nice to go with that THSword....or even those two healing sceptors you're carrying around.

You can get the same lvl1 jump from scrolls.
lvl1 expeditious retreat is not uselful IMO....too short.
Wands of Detect Secret Doors are the same as what you can cast.
I'd suggest RLD, and Shield for spells.
Tale LoB if you want to melee. Take PA.
I don't think AB is useless at all...but I'm in the minority here (see Brb forums)...you might switch it out at higher lvls when you can get a better AC.

The twelve quite often has a sale on repair critical wands......and stone skin wands.
Buy a flame arrow wand to go with that crossbow all you clerics carry around.

[Impaqt]

Yes, Jump Scrolls are availabale as well as Potions.. Yer Clerics Constantly Deck themselves out in Heavy armor, DOnt drink Potions and complan about their -8 Jump Score... Huh?

Put the spell on a Hotbar... Doesnt take inventory space and the next time you cant jump 6" You can say "Hey! I have the Jump Spell" and just cast the darn thing...

Wisdom is Important, Chr is nice to have. Neither is essential or critical to have maxed....

My Cleric has every jump clickie I can get my hands on.....but I may switch them for a stack of scrolls to UMD.

Divine Power.....+6 to Str...adds to jump skill.
Heroism pots +2 to skills
Prayer spell +1 to skills

My cleric has a Planar Gird also......and some jump +11 boots I think....(stacks with jump spell). I don't ask for jump if I can help it.

Adamantine body isn't bad for a low level cleric. Once you start getting to a level where you can keep yourself stoneskinned (love those wands...), you can swap it out for something else. In the meantime, it lets you get in there and swing that heavy mace occasionally without being a drain on your own spellpoints

I was thinking the lord of blades later about level 6, I have a awesome greatsword. I chose Detect Secret Doors spell so I didn't have to carry a wand. I'll be carrying extra wands fro repairing. The other spell, just playing the waters but I might settle on Jump, cuz clerics have no game...well mine don't

Adamantine body, with a arcane sigil docent and Inscribed armour is helping with the arcane spell failure. Not at the point to carry repair scrolls yet, so I will keep it. FORGOTabout stoneskin wands... gotta send him some! Thanks for the reminder! But I am sword and boarding it er rather club and boarding it for now.

But my fave part was people asking me if I really do heal. I tell them I have 9 clerics, what do you think?

[Inspire]

I Have A Lvl 16 Pure WF Cleric: Automation

His Feats Go As Follows:
Empower Healing
Extend
Quicken
Maximize
Mental Toughness
Mithral Body(Mostly Because I Love The Way The Blue DS Docent Looks With This Feat ... Subject To Change)

He Sits On 392Hps
And 1680Sp

Starting Stats:
8 12 18 8 16 8
Note He Is A Pure Healing Cleric With Nasty Blade Barriers, His Original Build Was Designed Around The LoB Enhancment With The SoS
28 Con I Think And 34 Wisdom Are His Major Stats Now.

I Also Have All 3 Healers Friend Lines And I Almost Get All My Hps Back On A Heal, -Maybe 15 Hps I Think.

Haha, Yeah Ive Been Declined To Groups Because They Needed A Real Healer... Talk About Putting A Tag On Your Build.
But Honestly It Very Nice To Be Immune To Everything, Less Worry On Yourself, More Focus On The Party- Ie: Enervation(SP Loss) Etc.
