Cleric vs. Fighter/ Cleric

[Red Inquisition]

What are the advantages to just be a cleric?
What are the advantages to being a multi classed fighter/ cleric?

Well, I can't give you all the technical stuff and actual 'numbers', I'll leave that for the others

Basically a single class cleric will reach the higher level spells faster. This can be nice, but defense and offense are not as good as could be as a...

Multiclass Fighter/Cleric levels more slowly, but is stronger and much more of a tank

I personally like a Dual class Fighter to a certain level, then switching to Cleric. One gets the bonus to defense/offense of a fighter, and then can focus on getting those spell levels

Play single class cleric if you want to play a kit. Play dual class for maximum power. Play multi if you want a fighter/cleric with racial benefits.
However as we all know ranger dualed to cleric is better... you could also try swashbuckler dualed to cleric.

You can play a fighter kit if you plan to dual him......berserker/cleric is not so bad...
