Message: <blockquote data-quote="Croejar64" data-source="post: 6833905" data-attributes="member: 6804594">I have a few questions about a cleric I am playing. I am in a 4 player game and initially chose a cleric because our party makeup was going to be 2 monks, and a barbarian. I felt we needed someone to keep them up and have some casting ability. I chose a life cleric. We had a monk drop out of the game and picked up a bard and later the barbarian had to drop out and we picked up another new player playing a druid. So the party shifted heavily from melee to casting. Most of this took place as part of the game after the campaign had started. I was not to particularly excited about playing a cleric but I wanted to play period so chose what seemed to work best for the group at the time of starting out. So enough backstory.I play a stout halfling life cleric whose stats are 14,12,14,8,15,12. Yes I know the race is not optimal but I don't play to min/max my characters. I like to be different and I don't see many halfling clerics and I wanted him to have STR and CON to do a little melee. I had previously played a war cleric and wanted to try out a different domain too. So this is why I didn't go war or tempest. Remember initially I had expected to be the only healer in a group of melee when the game began too. So I admit I seem to fill the role of buffs and healing just fine as expected but I desire to pick up some offense. I am currently only level 3 about to level to 4. My question is do you guys have any suggestions for picking up a multi class that might give me a little offensive punch and what would the level spreads be? I would prefer it to be melee since I am the only heavy armor user and wading in to fight as it is now. I am nearing my first ASI at 4th level. Do I go ahead and get it at cleric 4th level then switch or switch now? Do I take STR stat increases if I plan to multi or stick with wisdom for now? I have thought about fighter, ranger and paladin each. Ranger 5 to get 2 attacks, hunters mark, and maybe colossus seems good and my preferential way to go. I can easily fit this into my characters story too. However I would be a total of 8 levels, if I start now at 3rd level, before I get that 2nd attack and will have only gotten one ASI. I feel I will be hurting the group too much if I am behind them all by 3 levels. Our campaign is suppose to go all the way out to 20 according to the GM. Just curious as to peoples thoughts out there.I just noticed i don't have the required DEX to multi to Ranger. I need 13 and I am at 12. I see I would have to hit cleric 4th and take a point of DEX first and multi one more level later if I chose that path.</blockquote>
