So I am filling in for a 10th level one-shot, and they want a Cleric.  But even after looking at the various Guides, nothing really stands out.

 

I don't want to spam Spirit Guardians, and in fact would prefer to be a support type character. Maybe not strict healbot, but I would rather help others do damage rather than myself.  OTOH, I could do a cool damage build if it is interesting.

 

I like the Nature 6th level, where I can give out elemental resistance.... but the rest of the Domain seems a bit weak. 

 

I am open to multi-classing, but want to stay primarily Cleric.

 

So.... any ideas?

I'd go with a drunken hill dwarf pacifist life cleric.

 

Heavy Armor Expertise, healer feat, with focus on Con/Wis.  With your boosted healing, you will be neigh indestructable.

 

Bless, blindness, clarvoyance, augury, death ward, ect..,

Trickery domain has good support spells.

 

You have the stealth boost spell and polymorph.

Polymorph could be fun... but not thrilled with the rest of Trickery.   I just can't get a good feel for the Cleric possibilities....

 

Has anyone played a fun support Cleric?

Are you being asked to be the Cleric the class or some particular aspect of Cleric, the role? I'd note some interesting options due to specifically playing level 10 and Divine Intervention being one of those, well...interesting from a theory PoV, but not necessarily practical play. i.e.
Dipping another class, particularly one with spellcasting capability is basically free stuff. So Cleric 9/Wizard 1 for Shield spell+familiar+ritual magic for 1 hp.
Dipping another class to make the speciality of the Cleric class can work too. So Rogue 1/Trickery Cleric 9 as an example. Fighter 1/War Cleric 9. Monk 1/Cleric who adds +1d8 damage 9 - with 16 Dex/20 Wis, you'll naturally have a base AC of 18, which isn't bad.
Dip Cleric to make another class a better healer. A Life Cleric 1/Druid 9.
Lore Bard 10 who takes 4 buff secrets.
Or as a really out there option: Paladin 9/Life Cleric 1 - you have Aura of Vitality twice per day. You grant bonuses to saving throws to nearby party members. You have Lay on Hands for additional healing.
