[QUOTE="ro, post: 7166800, member: 6890747"] Thanks for your input! I've decided to be a Deep Gnome Lore Wizard X / Cleric 1 or 2. I intend to avoid melee. What level(s) would be best for dipping Cleric? I'm trying to decide on a domain, and these are the options I'm considering: Arcana 1: - - 2 cantrips, Arcana proficiency - - I would have expertise through LM, and four other skills chosen from Perception, Stealth, History Nature, Religion. All knowledge skills get expertise through LM. Knowledge 1: - - 2 languages, woo. - - 2 Int skills with expertise? - - The expertise overlaps LM. Same as above except 2 languages and that sixth skill vs. 2 cantrips from Arcana Domain. Tempest 1: - - Not very useful: martial weapons (I'm avoiding melee) - - *Maybe* useful heavy armor, but only if I find magical armor that doesn't require strength that isn't picked up by other party members like the fighter. - - Possibly useful: Wrath of the Storm, damage as melee reaction. Would fight for reaction spot with Shield, et al. The big benefit for Tempest would be a 2nd level dip: Tempest 2: - - maxed lightning and thunder with Channel Divinity:Destructive Wrath combos amazingly with Lore Master. - - However, this costs my final ASI/Feat, and which level do you take it? Not up front, for sure. Which domain would be best, and what level should I take it at? (Especially, if Tempest, when should I take the 2nd level.) [/QUOTE]
