I have to say that there are some amazing clerical party buffers though. They may not be as powerful as say, Mass Invisibility or Haste individually, but stack Bless, Chant, Remove Fear, Defensive Harmony and Prot from Evil 10'Radius together and they'll make your party tough as nails. Holy Smite isn't too shabby either, I can wipe out most weak to semi-tough monsters in just a few castings, and I get

Not to mention the only spell you'll ever need before going to sleep - Greater Restoration, fully heals the entire party and gets rid of just about every negative effect one can think of.
