Designed for a multiplayer game where Micolash needs to be able to lead dialogue and be close to the action. Pair with a potion of vigilance for +5 init.
For loadout, given the proximity to enemies, I suggest Medium Armor + Club + Shield. If you can get the club of hill giant strength from the tower in act 1 you’ll also have a strength of 19. This also lets you lower your strength to 8 at the start, which lets you get an extra point in WIS ending you up with 18/+4.
For Combat:
Magic Initiate: Druid feat allows to cast Shillelagh, which uses your spellcasting ability (Wisdom in this case) for attack rolls with your club/staff. It lasts 10 turns, so if you plan on hitting things with your big sticks you can cast it as a bonus action prior. This build has enough spellcasting though where you won’t always be hitting with your weapons, so other bonus actions + main action spells may be used more often.
Intended playstyle is to be close to the enemies, using Spirit Guardians to hit everyone around you. Thorn whip pulls enemies towards you, and Spiritual Weapon can be useful for enemies in far to reach places. You can also use the Misty Step amulet to get to the action quickly, or escape.
Up close, several necromancy spells have great effect when melee: Inflict Wounds, Vampiric Touch (gets some heals). In a pinch you can Thunderwave the enemies away and make an escape or just do general AOE damage while up-close.
If you want to save spell slots, for Cantrips I suggest using necromancy cantrips so you can target two enemies. If the enemy is hurt, toll the dead does 1d12 damage. If they are at full health use Bone Chill instead which is the same 1d8 as toll the dead but it also prevents them from being healed next turn. If you’re saving spell slots, strongly consider the damage you could do from using Shillelagh as a bonus action and simply smacking it with your weapon.
For Dialogue:
Can self-cast Guidance + Friends for help in most scenarios, and Thaumaturgy for others. Charisma is 14/+2 out of the gate, so all combined a very good talker.
