Evangelist Cleric of Cayden

[RayFinkle]

Human
Evangelist Cleric of Cayden

Str: 12, Dex, 16, Con: 14, Int: 10, Wis: 16, Cha: 11 (25 point buy)

Domain: Exploration
Feats: Armor Proficiency (Medium), Weapon Finesse
Weapon: Rapier

Questions:

- Is that my optimal array for a 25 point buy? Given my domain and going evangelist, is it the most appropriate?

- I think weapon finesse makes pretty good sense given my weapon, but could I do better than medium armor for my second feat? Perhaps skill focus: perception?

- What should my strategy on skills be? Any particular to focus on which are most helpful to an evangelist cleric given the stat array?

Thanks. I realize I've posted a few threads on this creation process, but they've all helped tremendously and I'm looking forward to playing this character.

You either have 28 points with no racial mod or 23 with the +2 going into dex or wis.

I'd drop medium armor for lingering performance to help with rounds per day of performance.

Also that 12 strength isn't helping you much with the encumbrance of the weight of most heavy armors and doesn't feel thematic to a rapier user to me.

Perform (oratory) would be useful to get discordant voice at level 11 if that matters to you.

Evangelist is designed to be a good support character. Actions spent activating a performance and throwing down another buff or two.

As for stats, it all depends on your character intent. Using the spontaneous spells for controlling? You might need a higher wisdom. Playing a buffer? Drop wisdom to 14/15 and invest a bit more into charisma or dexterity.

What's the concept you're aiming to create?

Whoops, I missed INT... my array is 12, 16, 14, 10, 16, 11.

RP wise I am going for a mix of Captain Jack Sparrow and Kvothe from Name of the Wind (if you've read that). Really play up the chaotic good and be cunning with actions.

Mechanically I want to support as much as I can with group buffs because the party is lacking in that area. But I would also like to be able to be on the front lines and do some damage.

Bump for the off chance that I haven't worn out all advice givers.
