just wanted to ask

You get different spell lists. Cleric is more focused on healing and support

what is shaman focused?

They can heal too, but I think they do more buffs and debuffs

ill do cleric then

Good because that's the one I'm familiar with

So here's your spell list. https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/spell-lists-and-domains/spell-lists-cleric Full spell casters like cleric can be a bit overwhelming to new players, but I can try and focus it a bit more

doesnt seem too bad

Well I remember it being a pain in the ass for me

do i have all level 0s, or just afew?

At level one you get 3 level 0 spell slots (these are called orisons, you get to use them as much as want), and 2 level 1 spell slots due to your wisdom modifier. Plus an additional level 1 slot for your domain spell.

so 3 level 1 spells, and 3 level 0s?

oh sorry

2 level 1 spells*

Yes, but one of those level 1 spells has to be from your domain

ye thats what i misread

You get two domains based on the deity you worship. We could just forget that and pick whatever two domains you want

er, where is the domain on this sheet?

It's beneath the area that says "spells"

kk

detect magic, light, and stabilize

for my level 0

Of course you pick light

heh

Hedging weapons, forbid action and my domain is comprehend languages

took abit since theres so many

do i get one more domain?

That's not what your domain is

oh it isnt?

These are your domains https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/cleric/domains

my bad sorry

So you pick 2 domains. Each domain allows you to cast specific spells. This is where clerics can get interesting because you can gain access to spells not on the cleric spell list

do i have 2 or 3 domains?

2

kk

in that case, my level 1 spells are hedging weapons and forbid action

um, if i pick a domain, how many of the side ones should i pick?

do i get all of them

Side ones?

for exaple

healing domain

the side ones are medicine

restoration

etc

Those are subdomains

Here, I'll try and explain

just curious how many subdomains i get

So let's say you pick the air domain. Starting out, you get access to the lightning arc power. This is a magical ability, but it does not use spell slots. Instead, you get to use it 3 times per day, plus another 3 due to your wisdom modifier to a total of 6.

The domain spells are each labeled with what spell level they are.

ahh ok

Since the highest level spell you can currently cast is level 1, you get to prepare 1 level 1 domain spell from either of your 2 domains.

The "subpages" are for sub-domains. They share many of the same qualities of the parent domain (air in this case), but with a few things changed.

how many subdomains do i get atm? or is that for levels?

A sub-domain is basically the same as a domain. You can pick one as one of your two domains.

ahh ok

i would like restoration, and healing domain

I'll let you do it, but it is a bit redundant to pick a sub-domain under the same domain as the parent domain

oh ok

There's gonna be a lot of overlap between the two, so you'll have less options

ill pick something else then

healing domain and knowledge domain

And as a cleric, you have access to the ability to channel energy

oh

do you recommend something?

Channel energy is a class feature, you emit energy that's either positive or negative (this depends on whether your character is good or evil)

im assuming mines positive?

Channeling positive energy heals all living in a 30 foot radius for a d6 worth of health (based on your current level) and harms undead for the same

If you're making a good aligned character, then yes

Channeling negative energy does the opposite

my character has had a bit of a bumpy road, but their still good

Then there's spontaneous healing. You can swap out any of your currently prepared spells for a healing spell at any point

That means any spell of the health restoring spell (cure light wounds, cure moderate wounds, etc.)

.. im sorry, what do you mean by telling me this?

So you know how you have spells prepared?

sadly no i didnt, im jst curious why this now

Maybe I haven't explained this right. A cleric is a prepared caster. That means at the beginning of the day, a cleric gets to pick any spells on their spell list that they would like to cast that day, but after they pick them they're stuck with for the day. But a cleric also has the class feature "spontaneous casting", which allows them to swap out any spell they currently have prepared for a healing spell.

Well, the last part applies if they're a good cleric. An evil cleric gets to swap them out for harming spells

ah ok

You gonna want to figure out everything else yourself?
