Need Help Creating a 6th level Cleric

[Dax Doomslayer]

Hi Folks,
I typically do not run Clerics. However I've been tasked to create one for a Campaign going through the Red Hand of Doom Module starting tonight. I was wondering what would be an effective and fun build. I'm figuring either a Dwarf or Elf for race and the starting level is 6th. If I go Dwarf, I would probably look to more of a Martial build and if Elf perhaps more of a Ranged/support type build. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Sources allowed? Ability generation method? Standard wealth level? Any other particulars about the campaign world besides the module?

Hi,
Sorry about that. Assume all WOTC books and actually a 40 point buy with standard wealth for that level. Thanks.

One of my players had a blast playing a dwarven war cleric of clangedin (sp?) with the protection and war domains. 40 point buy means you can hav a high strength and cha in addition to wisdom, so can really make this build work (you don't really need a high dex with the heavy armor you'll likely be wearing).

Here is a 6th level cleric of mine that is currently in action in a Forgotten Realms campaign...he is more of a human martial build style...with 40 points buy, he would be significantly better. He has been very fun and quite effective so far.
