More to do for the DF Cleric
A player who was playing a DF Cleric has asked "what else can I do?"
So apart from healing, dealing with curses/poisions/diseases, buffing and pretty ordinary fighting? What else can/should the DF Cleric do? I think that they were thinking in terms of the D&D cleric which IIRC Baldur's Gate had access to hold, and entanglement spells. |

Exorcism.
All the spells on their list that aren't those things you already mentioned. Holy abilities. |

Re: More to do for the DF Cleric
It's GURPS, so a cleric can buy pretty much any ability (if not restricted to another template by DF). And the cleric can even make pretty much any ability into a "cleric thing" by adding the power modifier.
Maybe the player's question is "What can a by-the-template DF cleric do?"

Re: More to do for the DF Cleric
Blessed is another and if he is looking for a D&D type cleric True Faith seems a great fit.

Buffs. Pretty much every type of DF cleric has access to a wide range of spells to make other PCs stronger, tougher, faster, etc. Or to do the same to themselves, though Blessed (Heroic Feats) tends to be better for that.

Re: More to do for the DF Cleric
I believe the player is looking for stuns, disables and the like. Which dont seem to be the domain of the Cleric.

Of course, if you go into the variant clerics presented in Dungeon Fantasy 7: Clerics, several of them have hindering spells on their lists as well. You might consider letting the cleric either swap their spell list, if that's appropriate, or just permit a perk that lets a cleric access a new spell, assuming you feel it's appropriate. |

Re: More to do for the DF Cleric
Why not give him a Binding power, then?
Chains of Heaven: 4/per level [ Binding (Engulfing +60%, Unbreakable +40%, Based on Will +20%, Holy -10%, requires concentrate -25%) ] As for stunning? Castigate: 4 [ rapier wit (Holy -10%)] Is it an enhancement to use Religious Ritual with Rapier Wit instead of Public Speaking? |
