[QUOTE="tommybahama, post: 7885847, member: 7017351"] Hi guys, I'm playing in my first 5e campaign (Descent into Avernus) and would like some opinions on picking up two or three levels of Cleric for my Hill Dwarf Battlemaster Fighter. I was at 5th level with a 16 STR and 14 WIS and were told by the DM that we've reached 6th level right before going into a long rest and ending the session. We don't have a cleric or a wizard in our group and our Paladin's attendance has been spotty. We may be picking up new player that may go with a druid. My DM said he has no problem with multiclassing but warned me that sometimes it can break a character at high levels which I want to avoid. I was thinking of taking at least two levels of Forge Domain Cleric to get my AC up to 22 with the +1 from Blessings of the Forge, the Identify spell which nobody has, and Artisan's Blessing at 2nd level to craft silver arrows and bolts for our ranged fighter and thief which we forgot to buy before we left Baldur's Gate. 😢 I think the Searing Smite spell will also help with my damage output as well. So my questions are: 1. Will going with two levels of cleric screw me at later levels (break my character)? 2. Should I go higher than two? 3. Should I do it now or take 6th level in Fighter to get my STR to 18 first? Role-play wise, I did receive some sort of blessing ("a warm feeling" according to the DM) for making a sizeable donation to the Temple of Tymora (goddess of luck) before leaving Baldur's Gate. I was thinking of telling the party, "Ya know, I didn't want to tell you this earlier because you might think I'm crazy, but I thought I heard a voice at the temple of Tymora telling me to "forge my own luck." Now I know what it means..." Thank you for any and all advice! [/QUOTE]
