[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7002417, member: 6716779"] Well there is your answer. My wife kind of struggled to make her one work as she used heavy armor and kind of needed a 15 in strength. Polarm master beats GFB in damage until level 11 and there is quite a bit resistant or immune to fire. Also whenever somoene comes within your reach you get to hit them with the quarterstass and with 2 attacks you also double your chances of getting the extra 1d8 damage at level 8. Get the following stats before racials. 15 14 12 12 10 9 or 15 14 12 11 10 10 No dump stat. 15 goes into wisdom, 14 into con, 12 into dexterity. After racials you get 16 wisdom and 14 dex. Use medium armor and you do not need to worry about 15 strength or buffing your dexterity. AC 19 in the best armor with shield. Medium armor usually sucks for clerics but you are keying everything off wisdom so it reduced MAD and reduces the need to choose between buffing a physical attack stat or wisdom. Level 4 Polearm master Level 8 +2 wisdom. Level 1-3 use whatever. If you are lucky something like a staff of healing or striking will eventually drop, magic staves are not exactly rare in D&D adventures. At level 4 you get 2 attacks for 1d8+3 and 1d4+3 + reaction attack (1d8+3) and get to use a shield (AC 17-19 most likely). You get +6 to hit level 5 and +7 to hit level 8. You are not proficient in con saves so that mmakes spells with concentration hard to use (except for bless assuming you bless yourself). There is not a lot you can do about that unless you change your race or MC as a fighter/sorcerer or take a feat at level 4 or 8. If you want to be proficient in con saves start as a fighter taking the duellist style or tweak the stat array to get a 13 charisma and start as a Sorcerer for the spell pattern. Pick up sleep and magic missile, retrain sleep out later for shield. Either way you get proficiency ion con saves and pick up a potential +4-+6 damage with PAM or retain your spell pattern being a level behind on ASIs and higher level spells. [/QUOTE]
