You can also use Pole arm to stay at range and let others take a few hits.  With that group damage wont be an issue, so you can get PAM and Sentinel in that case, that gives you a bonus action (PAM attack) and a reaction (Sentinel) stuff.  With a Polearm you can still keep that bless up, and that bless spell will just be super effective for you.The group will count on you to be a healer, so Aura of Life is in your future.  If you wish, a level of Life Cleric for +2 +1/level to all healing spells is quietly effective, and you get a few cleric spells also.  Aura of Life is super effective then, healing 70-170 over 10 rounds.  Inspiring leader might good also, as your bonus feat, that's a lot of THP for each rest with your large group since its up to 6 people. You also have a lot of saves to cover, so you need to get the CHR up.  Devotion helps with that anti-charm feature added to your auras.One of the reasons I went Crown with a shield is I have a sort of soft, slow group (Wizard and Bard each with level of cleric and a monk) so I will need the feats inspiring leader and Resilient (CON) to keep buffs up and Shield Guardians up, so I only have room for one other feat, and shield master is good by itself.You might have to take on the role of the glue that holds the party together and directs them where they should be.  Embrace the leadership role!</blockquote>
