TACTICS

Before Combat Casts extended greater magic weapon and extended magic vestment on himself every day.

During Combat The ghast cleric prefers to let his minions engage in melee combat at the start of a fight, giving him a chance to cast antilife shell and then the luxury of casting other spells to bolster his own strengths or to attack the PCs at range. Before entering melee combat, he takes the time to cast freedom of movement, prayer, bull’s strength, divine favor, and shield of faith if he has the chance.

Morale The ghast cleric fights until destroyed, confident until the last possible moment that his god will keep him safe.
