I'm playing my first ever character on the continent of Marquet in CR's world of Exandria. I've chosen to play a Twilight Cleric in service to the Moonweaver. My rolls have provided me with the following- 15, 14, 14, 16, 10, 12. We start at level 3.
I know the Twilight Cleric is meant to be a frontliner, what with the heavy armor, martial weapons and auras, and I'm not uninterested in this playstyle, but considering the Moonweaver is also the god of illusion and misdirection, this feels a bit too 'in your face.' Plus, heavy armor gets in the way of stealth, which would be a rather thematic skill, and add on that Booming Blade, the cantrip that allows melee Cleric builds to work, uses the sound-based thunder damage for it's strikes, this makes it rather difficult to keep to my deity's realm of secrecy.
This all might make it sound like Trickery Cleric is more up my alley... NO. I've read the subclass description and features, and I don't like it. Gimme the Twilight Cleric's shadowy goodness any day of the week.
Is there any way to piece all of this together, or are there other aspects of the Moonweaver's essence I should focus on instead in order to make a thematic and fun-to-play Twilight Cleric?
