[QUOTE="Rhenny, post: 7239278, member: 18333"] It depends on what you want to do as a PC. Light Domain Cleric is a good blaster that gets access to burning hands immediately and Fireball when 3rd level spells are available. Their Radiance of the Dawn use of channel divinity is also pretty devastating especially vs. low hp creatures within the blast area. He/she also still gets access to healing and the other classical cleric spells. If you want more versatile spells, you'd want to make a wizard, but then no healing. For even more versatility, a bard would work well, but then you'd have the Charisma that you say may not be needed. With the bard, you get healing and some pretty nice control spells (Tashas Hideous Laughter is great vs. weak willed opponents and Hypnotic Pattern can capture a large group pretty easily). Personally, I hate multi-classing, but that's just me. If you really want to fill the wizard's role, it is hard to do completely with any cleric since you won't get access to a lot of the wizard utility spells and defensive spells that can be very handy. The bard comes closer to that function. The party is always thankful for a Leomund's Tiny Hut when a long rest is over due. [/QUOTE]
