Human cleric?

After being bored lately with Emtel, I decided to create a new cleric and play him. I chose a human, simply because I cannot see a cleric of any other race. In my head, I just always see a human. I don't know. His stats are as follows, and max at level 117:

CO 65
DE 87
DI 33
LO 54 (44+10)
IN 65
ST 65
RE 79
CH 79
WI 34 (24+10)
AU 79

I know he won't have any mana for a while, and TPs are sort of short right now, but it will pay off in the long run.

For the basic part of his training, I'm doing the following for life:

1x armor
1x shield
1x CM
1x blunt
1x mana share
1x PT until max

I've got his training planned on a spreadsheet all the way up to 130 or so. Here's my number of ranks in different skills along the way:

30 ranks of climb/swim by 62
50 ranks first aid by 67
40 ranks of MO by 70
50 ranks perception by 70
50 ranks MIU/scrolls by 75
50 ranks pickpocketing by 117

When it comes to spells:
At level 25: 110 224 318
At level 50: 130 225 347
At level 75: 150 228 375

From this point, I plan on continuing to train cleric/major to raise my Bind CS and get the full effects of some of the spells in the cleric list. Plus, there's really not much benefit to overtraining in the minor circle. Web isn't all that useful, I don't think.

Any suggestions? I've compared his training and stats with several older clerics according to the spreadsheet, and unless I've really messed something up, mechanically he should be effective and extremely viable.

On a side note, when it comes to Elfarran's train50 spreadsheet, how do you enter spell numbers over 100? Such as, after you get "spell" 399, what do you type in the box? ::scratches head:: 3001? 401? See my question?

399.

Hmm...

Are you saying that once you reach the 99th rank in a spell circle, you can't train in that spell circle anymore?

Or, just for the spreadsheet purposes, one rank is one rank in the circle?

Sorry for my confusion...

Just put 399 in the sheet. And you can train past 399 it just won't give you a spell number.

It, hypothetically, moves to 3001...although that's not a spell list.

I have over 160 ranks in the 300's. reg

I'm a human cleric and heres my training path, some like how i'm doin things some dont.. heh

I've made alot of mistakes...but then again. He was rolled at a time when cleric-ing was ALOT different. He sat in a closet for years while I played my warriors. Still...all in all he doesn't do too bad. reg
