We need War domain for Clerics. Fighting with a Mace gets old really fast for a melee oriented Cleric.
For another melee caster type character, I tried making a High Elf Eldritch Knight. But it turns out humans do it much better even though EK seems like a High Elven tradition and something they would naturally be best at. In fact elves seem to suck at all Str based builds since they can't start with 16 Str. Maybe rolling for stats will fix that or some other form of stat allocation.
Elves seem to suffer from the fact that there is very little benefit from having both high Str and Dex. Or am I missing something that comes later in 5e? Having 16 Dex should be great for a Str build. But Full Plate is always better than Medium Armor with high Dex and melee attacks are just the same. Maybe there should be magical Medium Armor that would allow more Dex bonus so they could at least get the same AC as Full Plate fighters with 8 Dex.
