[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5886185, member: 82106"] Some things HAVE changed since '09. More races have WIS bonus possibilities now than back then. The Warpriest (Essentials cleric) has pretty well replaced the STR cleric. Race is still pretty much whatever gives you a good WIS bonus can be worked with. Given you'll probably be more in the 'laser' category with a straight PHB1 type cleric now Dwarf, Minotaur, and Goliath may have lost some luster, though they are fine warpriests. Half-elf, drow, hamadryad all get WIS/CHA. Deva is still pretty good since it has some nice racial stuff. Of course the Dwarf is going to be pretty much the toughest, so you may still want to go with that, minor action SW is pretty awesome. There just isn't a LOT of reason to stand up front as a templar. You can of course still build a straight up STR cleric for that, but a dwarf warpriest would probably be the best possible frontline cleric. [/QUOTE]
