Retooling Half-Orc Irori Cleric


Advice


So,

I have a LN Half Orc Cleric of Irori I've played to just shy of level 5, and over the break we're taking, the DM's going to let me rebuild him-- within generous but ultimately ill-defined limits. The stats I rolled & assigned having read nothing besides the Cleric class description, were:

Str: 11 (+2 racial=13)
Dex: 8
Con: 12
Int: 12
Wis: 16
Cha: 15 (+1 @ L4= 16)

His party is a well-designed Conjurer School Wizard, a Ranger Archer and a Rogue, both vanilla. So far, I've Tank'd a lot more (believe it or not), and spell-cast a lot less, than made any sense, and have been Party Face as well (took Persuasive at L1, Snake Style feat at L3.)

I've looked at Cleric 5, Cleric 3/Monk 2, Inquisitor 5, and Warpriest 5. I also wonder if I would get much mileage from the Enforcer feat and putting unarmed strike to use. Nor for that matter would I mind getting class skill benefit on Perception. I would probably keep Law and/or Knowledge as domains.

Frankly, I want to play all three roles: front-lining, party face, and spellcasting, even if the first is sketchy. I want to fit them better, do them better.

Any advice on the Cleric/Inquisitor/Warpriest choice or how to make this character more versatile &/or combat ready?

All of the things you want to do can be accomplished by playing a straight Cleric or Warpriest. The Cleric has the advantage of having superior spellcasting while the Warpriest's Fervor makes him very durable.
If you end up going Warpriest, I suggest you look at the Sacred Fist archetype since it's one of the stronger archetypes for the Warpriest. It'll also help you fight unarmed/unarmored as well.
My experience playing a Sacred Fist Warpriest of Irori was pretty positive, but I had more spellcasting support from my party than you do. Knowing that, I think Cleric's going to be your best bet. Clerics are a lot tougher than their d8 HD implies, so they can frontline no problem.
