[QUOTE="everyman322, post: 6680928, member: 6798821"] I'm assuming since you said "swashbuckler" you want to be melee. If multi-classing, I personally would start Fighter 1 for the weapon proficiencies, second wind and fighting style, (and a couple more level 1 HPs never hurt). If you want to go sword and board, pick the Defense or Dueling style and go rapier + shield (re-skin it as a buckler for swash...buckler...ness), and for a feat, I'd recommend Charger, Lucky or Warcaster. If you want to dual wield, pick the Two-Weapon Fighting style and add the Dual Wielder feat for dual rapiers and +1AC. If you go straight Cleric, and still want to be melee and Dex-based, you'll do about half the damage with your weapon attacks compared to either of the above options, and have a slightly lower AC, so you'd primarily be casting spells, and you'd probably use a single dagger and a shield and take the Warcaster feat so you can cast with your hands full and have advantage on concentration checks. For spells, Mirror Image is really good on a high Dex melee character, Bless is always good (better with Warcaster), and Spiritual Weapon will really help boost damage on a single weapon build.
