Hey guys, I'm playing a high elf cleric 1/wizard 3. He's a knowledge cleric and a diviner wizard.
I have to use the standard array, and I'm playing with a new DM who doesn't want to be overwhelmed, so we're using the PHB only. No UA, SCAG, ect..
I'm going to take the cleric level first, because I'll get more HP, better saving throws, and since I'm specifically starting with only the starting gear in the PHB, I like having armor.
I'm not sure which background works best.
I have two stat arrays that work, I'm not sure which is better (high elf bonuses in parenthesis):
Stat array 1: STR: 8 DEX: 12 (14) CON: 14 INT: 15 (16) WIS: 13 CHA: 10
Stat array 2: STR: 8 DEX: 12 (14) CON: 13 INT: 15 (16) WIS: 14 CHA: 10
I'm guessing stat array 1 is better since I'll want to hold concentration. Of course, the argument could be made that stat array 2 is better, and when I hit wizard 4, I should choose the resilient constitution feat.
Are there any spells I should keep an eye out for? I'd prefer to be a utilitarian type of wizard.
I plan on taking expertise in arcana and history skills. All elves get perception. Are there any other skills I should really keep an eye out for?
