Life Cleric 1/Wizard X works great, mechanically. You get some sweet bonus action spells including Sanctuary and Healing Word, you get heavy armor proficiency, you maintain full spellcasting progression, and you acquire a dependency on Wisdom and to a degree Strength. If you've got the stats for it, it's as good as or better than Bladesinger from a defensive perspective, but you still get the joy of being an Illusionist/whatever.I haven't tried an even Cleric/Wizard split, but I have seen one played. Cleric 11/Wizard 11 IIRC. It was terrible--barely noticeably better than the genuine 8th and 9th level characters in the party, except for all the magic items which gave him an AC of 25ish--but that may have been partly because it was played... poorly. I won't go into the details of what was done wrong, but I will say that I believe that a genuine 22nd level character played by the same individual in the same style would have been far more impactful, with Meteor Swarm once a day if nothing else.</blockquote>
