I am fond of Clerics in their style and the current 5e designs. For several reasons I wanted to run a Light Cleric, but I needed more defense and resources to make him into the design I wanted. I love the combo of spells and defensive protection they have, but I want to expand upon it.
The ability to defend my teammates is important, but early levels don't really provide much. The Flares don't do much for them until lvl 6.
Fireball is nice to look forward to.
I am currently mulling over the option to multiclass into Fighter to pick up the "Protection" ability to go with my shield and AC 20. Protecting myself with Flare and my teammates with the shield is really nice. Getting Heavy Armor and martial weapons is also nice.
My question is, is dipping into Fighter a good option for Cleric?
The role playing explanation is that he is questing for his Orders' lost armor , spear and book and has determined that he needs to learn how to fight better in order to achieve his goals.
PS - I am a lvl 2 Cleric looking at either going lvl 3 or dipping lvl 1 into fighter. Human variant w/ Feat to dip into Druid for Shileagh.
