I did try Greenmage once (High Elf, to get Longbow proficiency) and I was actually surprised. If your DEX is 14 or lower, this is seriously worth considering. With 5e rules, you can wear armor and cast spells as long as you're proficient with the armor.

Usually take the Academic background for the free Manacalon Rosary, but Sellsword is an option for the Medium armor proficiency. Lawkeeper for the martial weapons proficiency. Plus, Spellblade gets cantrips so they can cast Light on themselves at level 3.ĭwarf Lawkeeper Cleric (not settled on domain, one of Battle, Sun or Oblivion). The "your weapon is always considered to be a magic weapon for purposes of what it can hit" is actually pretty nice. Sylvan Elf Lowlife Ranger (high DEX for dual wield and lockpicking/stealth/traps) When the game releases in it's final form and I do my first complete playthrough, I'll probably use: I've tried a lot of variations (even did 4 clerics once, right now I'm doing 1 Ranger + 3 Paladins). Humans in particular just don’t bring enough to the table to bother giving up Darkvision, let alone the racial benefits of elves and dwarves, And I just can’t see the point of taking a non-Darkvision race even now that they’ve reverted to tabletop rules rather than the abominable home brew lighting scheme they had before. The subclass variety for Cleric and Paladin is definitely appealing. Fighters and Rogues just don’t really seem to bring enough to the table for me to pick them over Paladin/Wizard/Cleric/Ranger, though I could see Rogue for skills/archery and let Cleric cover food management.

Having the Cleric be a dwarf is also a thing, which has the upside of being authentic to the Thor-like shtick because free war hammer proficiency, but I really just don’t like the aesthetics of the dwarves. Sylvan-elf Ranger (hunter with lowlife background) for the archery, free food, and lock picking. Sylvan-elf Cleric (lightning domain) for the nuking, off-tanking, and healing. arcanist.) for the nuking and enchanting. Half-elf Paladin (oath of devotion) for the combat medic/smiting/tanking role (sword and shield!).

Lot in common with yours, for some of the same reasons.
