[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7533572, member: 20564"] Hmm, the fact that you are the only front-liner and that the campaign will go long are a bit at odds. Just to talk out what this means to me, hopefully you can zero in on what's important to you: As the only (or 1 of 2) front-liner, your concentration spells will have a greater chance to be disrupted. This will make concentration spells like debuffs have a bit less utility, reducing [I]slightly[/I] the value of higher DCs from +WIS. This isn't just +2 WIS at 8th vs. 12th, it's potentially +2 WIS at 8th AND at 12th to go to 20. With going to the mid to high teens that really is a place where spells will do more good then cleric melee. Along those lines, if there is another feat you want, it might be +2 WIS at NEITHER 8th nor 12th (and 16th is only possible and also very near the end of play if it does). So is there another feat/ASI you really want? Resiliant (CON) would give you more HPs and would improve those Concentration saves a great deal +1 + Proficiency. Hmm, I take it back, I think I convinced myself. I [I]really[/I] wanted melee to end up the most viable since clerical melee usually isn't, but +2 WIS and Resilient (CON) (in whatever order) seem to be a better combination of feats at 8th and 12th considering the longevity of the campaign. EDIT: The DM seems to be willing to support the concept of you in melee, perhaps they would be amendable to a request for an item which lets you cast Booming Blade a certain number of times per day. It's not overpowered - it is competitive with an at-will cantrip you already have - and it gives your character a unique feel. [/QUOTE]
