    I also find the spell Hold Person to be extremely useful even at epic levels. Silence is another powerful one in P&P, but this game likes to have a scripted, uninterpretable vocalize on far too many spellcasters for it to be worthwhile without metagaming of knowing when to use it and when it will be wasted on a forcespell script. The game ignores the "Only one contingency and one spell trigger" rule to nerf Invisibility (scripted true sight, although this is more in ToB than SoA) and Silence (scripted vocalize).
    Domination can also be useful.

    Those spells work just as well for pure clerics as a fighter/cleric. This is in addition to the other spells mentioned above.

    Just so you know unless you are using a mod that makes grandmastery better I would avoid putting 5 stars into anything. Two stars give you most of the benefit and so it would be better to have anomen put two stars into several key weapons (flail and hammer for example) and weapon styles (two weapon style since shields become mostly useless in ToB).
