I have a weird idea... and maybe it can work.

Post by Xaia » Sun Apr 28, 2019 8:48 pm

So i have this idea for a weird forestry priesty type.
3 ranger - Basically for the dual wielding feats and ambidex and + 3 ac with double sided weapon.
4 monk (last monk level at lvl 30 for tumble dip) other 3 im not sure when makes sense.
23 cleric. (Plant and War domain)
The idea is to be able to party support with buffs / few damage spells, maybe a summon. Then fight up close with probably a quarterstaff, to take advantage of the monk UBAB. Unarmored ofcourse for monk AC.
Dex based wild elf.
Starting stats after gifts will be:
10 Str
20 Dex
10 con
12 Int
8 Cha
Is there any chance this can work?

The bonus ac from using duel-wield scales with ranger lvls. you will not get any ac bonus for 3 ranger lvls only.

You also forgot to mention wisdom score which is the most essential attribute for clerics.

You dont get umd with this build so I STRONGLY recommend replacing war domain with travel domain for Haste.

Nearly all cleric builds can theoretically work.

Wisdom is your casting stat as a cleric. I do not see your wisdom here.

Ofcourse thats my mistake, sorry about that.
Starting stats after gifts will be:
10 Str
20 Dex
10 Con
18 Wis
12 Int
8 Cha
Feat wise im thinking, GSF Conjuration and Transmutation, Extend spell, Weapon finesse, anything crazy im missing that i should get?
What would you roughly do with ability scores? Wisdom or dexterity? Im not 100% sure how spellcasting works and how it benefits from a higher wis score (if its mostly for buffs and heals anyways maybe it doenst matter that much?)
Dex i guess is just going to get me a flat bonus to my AC and AB?

Also I should mention that I don't need this to be perfect in any way. As long as it will work without people dragging me around without me being able to help in any decent way.
Thanks for you replies so far.

You will need minimum 19 wisdom to cast 9th level spells.

3 ranger levels don't give you the second off-hand attack, nor does it qualify you for ITWF.

I'd ditch ranger and go 3 rogue for UMD. If you want to dual wield take the feats. You can't take Improved TWF off of dual wield, and to get it for free you need 9 levels of ranger.
