For sure. ::cough, Prayer::

That's why I'm taking a party of (mostly) priestly spellcasters; so that I can experiment. In previous parties, my cleric was so busy casting Prayer, Animate Dead and Protection From Fire that I didn't have any leeway to try and be innovative.

But Circle of Bones *is* a good "cheesy" spell. Sanctuary, walk right up, and cast a CoB to take out a nasty spellcaster.

Only problem is, it uses two spells (needs Sanctuary to be truly effective), and doesn't do all that much damage (total of 6d6 over 3 rounds, iirc). You can cast it multiple times, but as you pointed out, there are better 3rd level clerical spells to cast.
