How do you use that guy in a party? He doesn't have enough spell slots for decent healing and everything else he has on the spellbook is lost. I'm not doing this right.

Sosiel is best support character, divine buffer with domains.

Would anyone be so kind as to explain, Divine buffer?

I use him for healing and restoration basically, some buff spells as well

A buff is a spell or effect that enhance your characters or whole party. Divine casters such as Sosiel have access to spells that profane casters (such as Ember and Nennio) don't.

Just a few very good divine "buff" spells that you can look into (but there are many others) that Sosiel can cast when you get him at level 5-6 :

level 1 : shield of faith, protection vs evil/chaos, bless,
level 2 : barkskin (with revelant domain), communal protection vs evil, aid, bull strength
level 3 : prayer, delay poison communal, resist energy communal, magical vestment

And some domain powers are really strong as noted above.

The video i watched called him uh, colorful things along the lines of making lemonade with lemons. He made a build... Some melee with, vital strike? So essentially a damage dealer with a side order of buffs. Basically a wanna be fighter.

Coulda just said he was gay without using a slur.

But, of course, you wouldn't.

Well it's real though. Developers have to pad the blow in case there isn't a fair representation of every... Non average types... There is out there. I don't even know what there is to represent, there's a lot.

I think his deity favored weapon is the glaive, which is a reach weapon, meaning he can hit foes engaged with another party member which has higher AC than him without getting into melee range. He won't do as much damage as a dedicated melee character, but he can be useful in this role when not casting spells at low-mid levels. At higher levels, he should use most of his actions casting spells or using domain powers anyway. You can also give him an animal companion with the mythic power impossible domain "animal domain", some of which are great front-liners (such as the leopard). Clerics are always useful but tend to shine more at healing at higher levels with spells such as heal and mass-heal.

Hope it is useful

About healing.. He has maybe 4 to 6 more powerful heal slots? Do i rest everytime he's out of spells?

I'm playing on easy right now. Learning the maps.. I learned to read the mobs tooltips and to use casters on the weaker defenses. I could probably play normal.

Point is i don't have to do any healing at all right now, but i do remember spamming heals to keep a character alive at the very beginning of the fight, and losing it anyway.

I would probably play on turn base, on normal, except for the fights with a lot of NPC like the tavern or Drezen.

EDIT: is there a video i could watch about the guy? Youtube maybe? I'll dig it up myself. Thanks.

Yeah, clerics use Vancian casting. They don't need to learn spells, but they need to pray nightly to their deity to get them back. Basically: yeah, resting brings back their spells, they are not spontaneous casters.

Sorry to ask, i'm starting here.

he gives buffs, removes debuffs and prevents debuffs

domains are one of the available class mechanic for a cleric, popular domains are :
animal, for animal companion
community, for sacred buff
nobility, for insight buff

in wotr you can get all of these domains on one cleric with taking the mythic feat impossible domain multiple times

save spell slots and channel energy to combat mainly and use scrolls ( and potions) outside of combat

and usually it is better to protect from damage than heal so resist energy spell and other protective spells tend to be more helpful .

Sosiel is best support character, divine buffer with domains.

he joins with 19 wisdom, thats pretty good for a support cleric

you can give him a range weapon and turn him into a domain buffbot

or if you want to melee with him get him a animal companion and let him mount it all the time for ac

He's awesome against the undead, as most clerics are.

... would be cool if there were more of them to deal with ... that's situational to this campaign...

He has some great party buffs, he really is a great healer esp. later on, and like all clerics, he has offensive spells that can dish out holy damage. Demons no like holy damage.
