Very... carefully. You'll be fine!

I think it's a neat idea in theory, but with the classes set up how they are already it kind of steps on other classes' toes. Then again, why not?

It's a magic punch.

The player has an unused 1st level spell slot before resting to use on Goodberry? That they wouldn't rather use during the course of the day for a much more useful spell? If so, I say more power to them. Wouldn't the party rather spend a wee bit of money or make some foraging rolls over wasting...

Being a witch is a state of mind.

If a DM wants to ban or house rule something, they're free to do so. What we're talking about is just a weird ruling. If you were to roll a d10 for Goodberry, the spell would say so. This edition really isn't that obscurely worded. "Up to 10 berries appear in your hand" is awkwardly worded, I...

As a player I'd be very upset with that ruling. As it stands, the spell is great in very rare circumstances and in the day to day at best just saves the party a tiny bit of money on rations. Using up a precious first level spell for Goodberry seems very reasonable to me, no need to nerf it...

I think most people have "encumbrance" in their games, whether they track it granularly or not.

You don't get one until level 4 (unless your DM has a house rule about it) and by playing betw now and then you should gain a better understanding of what feat if any would work for you.

Only when it would make the scenario more interesting. Which is rarely.

Voort has given good quick advice. My only change would be to pick whatever background ya want, its not a big deal.

Alright cool. Your dwarf cleric is going to be pretty good no matter what you do. Do you actually want to be a Nature cleric? Cleric domains are all solid.

Why are you stuck with cleric and dwarf?

Wasn't an OD&D magic user who chose to prepare sleep over light an optimizer?

It's a "Don't hate the player, hate the game" kind of situation. D&D has always had options that are treated as equal but are very disparate in power. It has always had a war of flavor vs power. It has always had a character building minigame (though it used to be mostly a game of chance and...

I've had as much problem with sub optimization as I have over optimization.

Oh absolutely, but its a behavior that the game does nothing but reward. Some players have always tried to finangle things to the nth degree to make victory more assured. I wonder if ENWorld existed in the 70s people would complain about the "play opimizers" who go excruciatingly slowly though...

D&D is a game that penalizes bad play and weak characters with permanent death, so it always seems odd to me to complain about character optimization.

Thats great. To me it's by far the least well designed, least mechanically engaging class and the one I'd be the least likely to play.
