    Or I could go with one of these:

    Finding a creepy robot goblin-esque monster is hard.

    The second one reminds me of Ironman more then Spiderman. I think Spiderman would be a rouge. His Reflex would be crazy.

    personally, looking at your building, i would suggest something like 16,12,11,10,16,14 It still seems to have all the utility of the previous build, but should be able to make use of your attack's second ability outside of getting lucky.

    Is this set up legal with the point buy system? I mean, the array I have is weak but it works with the system and is widely used.
    And Burning Organ, are you doing the power macro for our tokens? What are you doing with them?

    No no, the joke was Hob Goblin is a spider-man villain, and.. you..nevermind.

    Also that build is perfectly legal int he point buy system.

    You are talking to a Spiderman nerd/screaming fanboy/lover. I know who Roderick Kingsley is.

    But I wasn't going to be a battle cleric like this is. This stats work for them. A Devoted like I want to play isn't about attacking. They are about keeping the strikers alive and attacking from afar with divine spells. The warhammer is for "OH SHIT, they got too close!"

    Ok, I fixed it. Still I say it should be Wis highest, Cha second, Str third. But whatever.

    Edit: This is what Character Creator say I should use on a devoted cleric: FINAL ABILITY SCORES
    Str 10, Con 12, Dex 11, Int 8, Wis 20, Cha 14. Str isn't even considered.

    I agree, but you didn't really want to change it so i want making suggestions you might be keen on taking.

    a more optimized build with be 14,12,10,10,18,15 (racials already included) that would probably get you the most bang for your buck.

    Im kinda new to the game so I can use help. I normally play strikers but this is the first character that Ive been so pulled to play. Hopefully I will be a good healer.

    Well, with 20 wisdom you add +5 to every cleric healing power you use, so, should be fine.

    Yea the newer stats are way better. You also might want to take Lance of Faith instead of Priest's Shield. Possibly switching out Cascade of Light for Beacon of Hope, and with the newer crappy Str giving up Healing Strike for Command, Cause Fear, or Divine Glow. Also, switch the magic warhammer for a magic implement. Crit damage, more base damage, and more hits are win. If you really don't want a 20 in Wis then drop it to an 18 and bump Dex up to 13 and Con to 13. With the higher Dex you can pick up Astral Fire for more damage on your radiant attacks(all of them). I have a similarly built human cleric, and I've had no problems healing even though I'm the only leader in encounters that are set a few levels higher then our group.

    Can't bump Wis down to 18 and raise both Dex and Con to 13. And Im good stat wise. I'll look at the powers you are suggesting.

    Nope. Con will be 13 and Dex would be 12. I would have to drop to Wis 17 or take some off of Int.

    The worst part for me about designing a character any significant amount of time before the actual game starts is that I get antsy and start tinkering constantly. SIGH.

    Samurai, 16, 16, 13, 11, 10, 8 are valid starting stats. You really don't know what you're talking about.
