[QUOTE="Willie the Duck, post: 6985284, member: 6799660"] It depends on what you want to do. Do you mostly want a wizard in armor who can heal a bit, or are you going to try and do some cleric-y things (like ever use that shillelagh, because you are in the front lines)? The lowest impact/cost cleric to add to your wizard build is a wis 13 Life cleric. With that, you can have bless, cure wounds, healing word, and one more spell prepared. If you are a dwarf (or intend to be mounted), then you're likely done (or just make sure your dex is 14 and go medium armor). If you're a vHuman, and put a bit more into Wis, you can pick up Magic Initiate (druid) at that level, and also get shillelagh, as well as goodberry (10x4 hp healed, plus feeding the party), and then add Green Flame Blade or Booming Blade as wizard cantrips and have some martial heft.
