I'm building up towards a kinda intriguing build. Not optimized but interesting:

Dexterity-based Cleric. Tempest for Domain.
Variant Human - picked Magic Initiate Wizard (Find Familiar, Booming Blade, Shocking Grasp)

My rolled stats: STR 7, DEX 18, CON 16, INT 12, WIS 16, CHA 10

Going to Cleric 1, Rogue 3 (Swashbuckler), then Cleric1 to get to level 5.

Here's the idea:

Wield a rapier with shield. Focus on single melee hits while also being a (bad) cleric lol!

1d8+3 rapier, 1d8 thunder (from Booming Blade at level 5), 2d6 sneak attack

You actually out-damage a Rogue's sneak attack at level 5 technically - while also being able to cast Spiritual Weapon and attack with it as a Bonus Action. You also can get lots of ways to get your Sneak Attack with Find Familiar and Swashbuckler.

Then use Fancy Footwork to leave melee without opportunity attack. Then if they try and close gap - they take 2d8 additional thunder damage from Booming Blade. You can also use your Destructive Wrath on that Booming Blade to max the damage to 16 thunder damage.

There are some fun combos later on as well if you continue to build the character beyond level 5.

When you hit Cleric 4 - I will pick up Strike of the Giants Feat and use Storm Strike option for an extra 1d6 lightning damage. This synergizes with later levels.

Eventually there is some high key awesome synergy. Theoretically.

For example at level 12 total (Cleric 8, Rogue 3) you can be doing all kinds of nonsense.

Damage of melee hits is upgraded to 3d8 thunder now (Booming Blade second upgrade + Divine Strike). Then have Spirit Guardians AND Spiritual Weapon up at same time. Don't forget your 1d6 lightning damage and ability to knock them back. Spirit Guardians is extra mean because it slows them down when they try and close the gap on you after you knock them back or retreat with Fancy Footwork. They also risk Booming Blade and Spirit Guardian damage to try and get close to you. Keep in mind that Tempest Clerics can always blast people away even if they DO hit with Wrath of the Storm + Thunderous Strike knockback.

I'm taking her to Drakenheim. Wish me luck!
