Hello everyone, this is my first time posting. If there is a protocol I am not following for posting questions please let me know.
I have a lot of experience playing 3e and 3.5, but I haven’t played much 5e yet, so I had a few questions about a character I am making for an upcoming campaign with some friends. My idea is for a Hill Dwarf Fighter/Cleric (war domain), and I plan on playing him more from a buffing/melee standpoint than a blaster, since the party also has a Ranger specialized in ranged and a sorcerer (although I like the idea of having the option of attacking from distance). We are using feats, and I see war caster being an obvious first choice, although I am open to suggestions.
My question is about level progression. Is there a vast difference between starting lvl 1 as Cleric vs Fighter? And how far should I go into either class for the desired play style? In particular I am looking at Fighter levels, lvl 1 for the fighting style, lvl 3 for the specialization (Battle Master), and lvl 5 for the extra attack. Anyways, here’s the stats that I rolled, with mods.
Str 15
Dex 11
Con 16
Int 10
Wis 16
Cha 8
Soldier background.
I’m open to all suggestions, and if I left out any pertinent information let me know. Thanks.
