Weekly Questions Thread #53

Thanks man! I've gotta go to work soon so I'll be gone for the bulk of the day but I'll send you what I have so far and see how it looks and where I'm lost. I appreciate it!

Here's how it's looking so far;

Name: Baelor

  • Half Elf

  • Level 1 Cleric - 10 HP

  • Acolyte

  • Life Domain

Starting Stats [I don't know how the DM will do this, but I'll have my rank of importance at least];

  • STR 14

  • DEX 9 [+1 Half Elf optional bonus = 10]

  • CON 14

  • INT 8

  • WIS 15 [+1 Half Elf optional bonus = 16]

  • CHA 11 [+2 for Half Elf = 13]

I figured I'd add the DEX to get to 10 and avoid an initiative drop/AC drop.

Skill Proficincies

  • Animal Handling
  • Athletics
  • Insight
  • Medicine
  • Persuasion
  • Religion

Starting Equipment [This was something I was unsure about but I think I got it right]

  • Scale Mail
  • Shield
  • Mace
  • Light Crossbow

Cantrips:

  • Resistance
  • Guidance
  • Sacred Flame

Then I kind of hit a road block in spells. From what I can tell the Cleric gets access to all the level 1 Cleric spells on page 207 of the PHB, like 15 of them, at all times but then gets 2 specific spells from their Domain right? And it's like I can prepare only 6 of them per day at level 1. So the 2 from my domain plus 4 more from the big generic Cleric pool? Then I can only cast like... 2 per day at level 1? If you could try and clear up some spellcasting details that would be helpful, but I'll keep trying to dig through the PHB when I have time and get a better grasp on it.

Anyway, that's a long message but I appreciate if you can point out anything I did wrong or might have missed so far as well, much appreciated! :)
