Given this is PH1, and the OP has rolled 3 "good" stats, he might as well make use of half-decent Strength, since there aren't too many other good options.Strength Clerics seem like a throwback to older design philosophy that equate melee attack to Strength, regardless. The PH1 Paladin suffers from the same issue. It's not that the powers linked to Strength are inherently bad, per se (they're not... necessarily), it's just mechanically poor class design (V-class vs. A-class).Compare this with the Warpriest Cleric from HotFL, whose melee attacks are all Wisdom-based, allowing for a much more focused build, both mechanically and thematically.I agree with Prestidigitalis, in that Vilmond's suggestions are not the best, but if this is a one-shot (with randomly rolled levels?!?!) then it may not matter much.</blockquote>
