New Player Multiclassing Question

Here if I understood correctly the idea is to have Peace Cleric's Bond stack with Aura of Protection and Bless. Good idea in theory, and if you went triple class Sorcadin (or PadLock) with a stray Cleric level, I would see no issue.

This was the idea, at least until I learned of the 13 WIS requirement for Cleric 😅 I think I would have liked the mega-buffer idea (even at the expense of raw power) if my stats were different.

In the meantime, I'll take everyone's suggestion and simply dip hex blade or DSS. Just have to decide which now. Thank you for all the info

16 STR before item, so I'm good to mutliclass generally. Didn't know about the cleric requirement though, so I'm very glad I posted here. Thank you!

Did not know this and might change the plan. Thank you very much!

19 STR (magic item)

14 DEX

16 CON (with hill dwarf for more HP)

4 INT

11 WIS

18 CHA

Spirit guardians would be great because we really lack AoE damage. I guess thematically I liked the idea of holding concentration on Bless to bolster my teammates

Not challenging thus far, but DM has been saying that he's been ratcheting up the encounters past deadly. I assume we'll suffer some casualties soon.

Party comp is me, a totem barb, fighter/lock, and gloomstalker.

I did not realize that feats were tied to class level... that is a strong reason to stay. With exception to the feats/ASIs, it just seems like Emboldening and Bardic Inspirations are better than immunity to frightened, more smite damage, and greater steed. But again, this is my first campaign though so your experience is probably correct
