But building one that really works?
Well, we know a thing or two about that.
Thebest racesfor the Life Cleric are arguably theWood Elfand theGithyanki.
Once you’ve chosen a race,your deitywill be next.
Phalar Aluveis a longsword, so you will need longsword proficiency to use it.
Backgroundsfor this build are alsoup to the player.
We recommend takingGuidanceandSacred Flameand your choice ofeitherBlade WardorResistance.
These will give you a support cantrip, an offensive cantrip, and a defensive cantrip for general versatility.
As you begin,Sacred Flamewill likely be your primary damage outputuntil you find a better weapon.
For this build, we’ve prioritizedkeeping all stats out of the -1 modifier range.
Additionally, as a player character, keeping positive stats will increase the overall performance of dialogue-based rolls.
Constitution is another important partas your Cleric should be tanky enough to survive hits.
Strengthwill be primarily dedicated to making full use of the weapon Phalar Aluve.
you could alternatively turn your Strength stat to Dexterity and use a Ranged Weapon like Spellthief.
