[QUOTE="RulesJD, post: 6826185, member: 6808367"] He's a Dwarf so assuming 27 point buy: Str: 14 (+2) Dex: 14 Con 14 (+2) Int: 8 Wis: 13 Cha: 9 Take Resiliency (Wisdom) for your 4th ASI to bump you up to 14 Wis. Doesn't really matter though because all you want is Bless, Healing Word, and Divine Favor. Barbarian can use medium armor so 14 Dex is all you need to hit 17 AC with a Polearm. Divine Favor, assuming 4 attacks per round after level 5, = 10 extra damage per round. With Action Surge it's even more. It doesn't require using up your Bonus action more than once, so it's the best damage addition for a PAM Build. Over the course of 4 rounds of combat, assuming 60% hit rate, is 10d4 or 25 extra damage. For a level 1 spell, and that's radiant damage so it also burns through resistances. Obviously Bless is generally going to be better all things considered. Survivability: You'll have 17 AC and can trigger 1/2 damage resistance. You can stop enemies before they can get close enough to hit you. You'll be tanky as hell while dishing out disgusting amounts of damage. [/QUOTE]
