Hiho,

With multiclassing in the game, my hopes of playing an Eilistraee cleric have gone up, after some frustration during EA.

I'm thinking about starting as a Bard, to later add Cleric, but either would work for me. Any suggestions on how to "spec" them? Also, which respective subclass would work best? She'd obviously want to use swords and fight with as little armour as possible. Are there any important cutoff points to be aware of, in terms of level and important spell/skill?

I've played my share of CRPGs over the years, but this one seems to actually make some interesting choices possible.

Bard and Cleric don't really work that well together except as a one lvl dip into Cleric for armor proficiencies due to conflicting spell casting stats and delayed spell progression.

Clerics will multiclass best with Monks and Druids and even these are a dubious improvement over pure Cleric. Though there is the niche case for the Tempest Cleric 2/Storm (or Blue Draconic) Sorcerer 10 build.

Bards will want to multiclass with Warlock, Paladin, or Rogue. These can go in a ton of directions depending on what you want the build to do.
