The Cleric also went in for an aspergilium 'conversion' on their mace and liberally splashes it around in fights with undead, to make the standard 'after fight' Exorcism easier (in unconsecrated areas undead have a habit of not staying redeaded, so they like to consecrate areas and put all dead and undead to rest properly).
Yeah, that's the stuff. (The aspergillum mace is a nice touch, too. Got any stats/rules you can post?)

Holy water should be a useful tool in a cleric's arsenal; a little more effectiveness vs (some) undead, and a use in aiding exorcisms etc. (through the simple step of borrowing the spell component rules) helps a lot, IMO.
