Shadowheart: Complex problem. Low AC due to low Dex. Lacking a good ranged option. Sacred Flame is relatively nerfed by the ease of which other ranged attacks can benefit from advantage rolls. Trickery Cleric on the weak side apart from strong domain spells in mid-late levels. Larian should look into increasing her combat effectiveness. Perhaps by swapping Str and Dex from 14 and 9 to 10 and 14 respectively. This would make her tankier and open up for using more reliable ranged weapon attacks as an alternative to her cantrip. This would benefit her mechanically in the early levels and fit her thematically better than the current attribute allocation.


I did consider going Heavy Armor for Shadow Heart, but she only has 14 Strength, so you can't benefit from the +1 strength you get in the same way Wyll Can with Medium Armor. If Shadow Heart had 15 Strength, then I could see a method to Larian's Madness.

Secondly, Larian seems to think Heavy Armor some how is MORE POWERFUL than Scale Mail +1, because you only get Ring Mail until the VERY END of Early access. This is a super annoying oversight, making every character go the Medium Armor Road anyways.

Ideally for me: Just let me distribute the characters points when I recruit them. That way I can have different builds in different playthroughs.
