Cleric action die attack or spell checks?
The rules say: a cleric can use his action die for attacks or spell checks. Is this a permanent choice made at first level? Sounds like it.

Both.
He can freely choose which action -- an attack or spellcasting -- we would like to do from round to round.

It's called out because it is in contrast to the Wizard (for example), whose second Action Die can only be used for spell checks. The Cleric can use either or both of it's Action Dice for spell checks or for melee or ranged attacks, whichever they prefer, round by round.nudnic wrote:The rules say: a cleric can use his action die for attacks or spell checks.

Personally, I'd allow a "spell check only" Action Die to be used for skill checks and other sorts of checks within the arena of 'magic' and related things. And also for movement, as usual.

Yea if you check the fighter he can only use his for combat so how does he make a skill check?
