So I’m going to be joining a campaign as a light domain cleric. Mainly I’m going to be be the party healer but what’s a good secondary role to include from levels 1 - 11?
Radiance of Dawn and access to fireball makes light clerics one of if not the best Cleric subclasses for AOE damage
High wisdom makes you effective at wisdom base skills, Perception and Insight in particular come up a lot
There are a lot of cleric spells that are great for support, either de-buffing enemies or buffing the party, for example, Bless, Faerie fire, hold person, aid, enhance ability, dispel magic, banishment. (not dispel magic is very versatile as it can get rid of traps as well as remove enemy buffs and debuffs on your friends).
So a mix of damage dealer and party face? That could make for an interesting character. I would probably need high charisma to pull that off. I hadn’t thought of that.
Once you have fireball your role will probably change. Pre fireball work with faerie fire and bless to boost your allies. Post fireball blow things up. Wall of fire is an excellent control spell for the right party.

I would not necessarily say face in a social context I see the cleric standing next the face while conversations are had studying their body language. They determine if the NPC is uncomfortable when the face brings up a particular subject, whether they are lying or trying to hide something, whether they are friendly, neutral or hostile to the PCs etc. If the party have a way to communicate telepathically that can be communicated to the face, if not a reasonable charisma can help if the cleric wants to act on that knowledge immediately otherwise they can just pass it on to the party after the encounter.
