I usually juggle with different ideas during character creation, experementing with different races and classes, never knowing what to play. Then, I always end up playing the same thing I do in every DnD crpg: a melee-oriented human cleric.
Sounds like you might want to try a Hill Dwarf Life Domain Cleric. You get Heavy Armor proficiency, +1 Hit Points, +2 Constitution, +1 Wisdom, and can use a Warhammer.
