So the favoured soul article
https://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/modifying-classes got me thinking.
Sorcerer: Favoured Soul
Armor: light armor, medium armor, shields
Weapons: Daggers, darts, slings, quarterstaffs, light crossbows, and simple weapons.
Saving Throws: Constitution, Charisma
CHOSEN OF THE GODS, do you choose Life domain, or War domain, with one you become very healer orientated, the other is your classic gish
Life Domain gives you access to the following spells:
1st bless, cure wounds
3rd lesser restoration, spiritual weapon
5th beacon of hope, revivify
7th death ward, guardian of faith
9th mass cure wounds, raise dead
War Domain gives you access to the following spells:
1st divine favor, shield of faith
3rd magic weapon, spiritual weapon
5th crusader’s mantle, spirit guardians
7th freedom of movement, stoneskin
9th flame strike, hold monster
So you could play a variant human with Magic Initiate: Druid, and pick up Shillelagh, Guidance and 1st level spell: Longstrider
It would be viable gish from 1st level, but low on HP, but single attribute for attack and damage.
