Hello, I just made a Ghostwise Halfling Light Cleric lvl 4 for the campaign my friends and I are playing. I rolled all of my stats in front of the DM (roll 4d6, drop lowest).
I am looking to lvl up as a light cleric all the way with no multiclassing.
I have been enjoying the ability to use my damaging spells effectively while having healing spells on hand when needed.
At this point, I have to choose between stats or a feat at lvl 4.
It is a tough decision, because my stats are:
Str 8
Dex 14 (due to racial +2)
Con 12
Int 11
Wis 19 (due to racial +1, and a ring +1)
Cha 11
I know that getting the last +1 wis is really good because at 20 I have the +5 modifier which is really great in a lot of ways. But if I do that, what would I put the other point in? I was thinking I could do 1 wis and 1 con, then I could eventually get the feat Resilient (con), bringing me to 14 con.
My second option, is to get Observant (wis), as that would bring me to 20 wis, and gives me great perception and investigation.
I also really want the War Caster feat, but it doesn't seem as good as the 20 wis, because it only really benefits me when I can use my reaction to make a cantrip attack, whereas the 20 wis makes my spell attacks, ability checks, and healing stronger.
Right now I am thinking the best option is to get Observant (wis) at lvl 4, that caps my wis at 20. Then at lvl 8 get War Caster. Then at lvl 12 get 2 con or Resilient (con)
What are your thoughts/advice?
Thanks!
