cleric/fighter help!

[kingvidiot]

I have rolled a fighter/cleric. I plan on going cleric18/fighter2. I want to do mostly melee.
str 18 , wis 14 dorf cleric is what i've rolled. Is this going to be enough base wis? I dont really plan on doing much offensive casting. Mostly healing/buffing and melee. Was going to put all my points into Str.
Is this viable? Or do i reroll w/ more wis?

Is more info needed?

[Visty]

yes, it will be viable

if you dont intend to cast offensive spells then 14 starting wis is enough

[kingvidiot]

Wow, thanks for the speedy reply.

I don't really dig offensive spells too much. I'd rather hack and slash, and heal when needed. I have a soft spot for dorf clerics from my pen and paper dnd days 25 or so years ago.....

Kewl. greataxe dorf cleric here we come.

Let me ask this, since I have your attention. Is 18/2 a good split? or do i want more fighter since i wish to solo/melee?

[Visty]

18/2 is perfectly fine
taking more fighters is just too little gain compared to the loss in casting power (lvl9spells, sp, spellslots)

also with 18 lvls of cleric you will be able to take the warpriest 3 enhancement (once its in game)

[kingvidiot]

Thanks again.

I'll be able to cast lvl 9 spells w/ 14 wis.....

I'll now look at a spell list and see what's available at that level. ty.

[Visty]

with just 14wis you wont be able to cast lvl9 spells, you need 19wis for that

but you will find +6 items, +2 tomes and +3 from cleric enhanccements too for a total of 25 which will let you cast all your spells

[kingvidiot]

awsome. I have been loving dnd online.

You have been very helpful in putting my fears to rest.

rolling chars has been real fun, but also frustrating.

I've rolled a few characters and this is the first one that doesn't seem to be broken, YET.
