The Devout and the Dead: a guide to Clerics

[Dudu]

I suppose I would consider stat distribution like a strength or dex cleric that makes attack rolls... but you can make those same attack rolls using int as your secondary stat instead using wizard cantrips.

Indeed, that's what I though.

Pick VHuman elite array, for example.

15 14 13 12 10 8

One +1 to 15 for 16 wis

The other +1 to either 14 or 12, to make an odd number that you can later bump with Res: Con. (or perhaps right now, you're a VHuman, afterall).
You'll end up with either 16 Con and 12 Dex or 14/14.
14 Dex allows for max AC with medium armor anyway, and you can still use a shield (even without Warcaster, just use a shield and no weapon).

If cantrips are your source of at will damage, you don't even need to bother with Str or Dex more than necessary.
The 13 Int will be just there for the Wizard class. I consider it a fair tax for gaining so many goodies. The 13 int pre-requesite looks more cumbersome than it really is.
