Farlin Maekkelferce is the middle child of five children of the Maekkelferce. She was always seeking to care for those around her, often being seen as the local nurse in her clan. It was no surprise that she eventually joined a roaming hospitaller order and cared for the wounded soldiers that they came across. Unfortunately, her order was attacked by a powerful necromancer plaguing the area and she was nearly killed in their onslaught. Since then she has learned to harness her innate healing light and combined it with a more martial bent. Now, she seeks to defeat any undead she comes across and heal the wounds of those in need.

Race
For the Race of this build, I went with a Forest Gnome. This race gives her Darkvision, Gnome Cunning, Natural Illusionist, and Speak with Small Beasts
Background
For Background I chose Soldier. This gives her the skills of Athletics, Intimidation, Vehicles (Land), Playing Card and the Background Feature of Military Rank.
Class
For the Class makeup of this build, I went with a mix of Cleric 2 (Life Domain)/Fighter 4 (Cavalier). With this combination of classes, she gains the ability to heal with strong bonuses from Disciple of Life and Channel Divinity: Preserve Life, high AC potential with heavy armor proficiency, effective use of a mount in combat. This build is capable is extremely effective at healing those in need, strong use of a mount in a combat situation, and front line tanking against foes.
Cleric 1 is the beginning of this build with the skills of Insight, Medicine, Spellcasting, Bonus Proficiency of heavy armor, and Disciple of Life. Disciple of Life makes her healing spells more effective with increased healing potential with her spells.
Cleric 2 gives her Channel Divinity and Channel Divinity: Preserve Life. Preserve Life gives her an extra pool of healing to use on anyone within 30 feet of her
Fighter 1 is where she picks up her Fighting Style of Defense and Second Wind. Defense will give her a higher AC which is needed when she takes a certain feat.
Fighter 2 gives Farlin Action Surge. This is where she gains the ability to have two actions in one round.
Fighter 3 is the level that makes her a Cavalier. She gains the bonus skill of Animal Handling, Born to the Saddle, and Unwavering Mark. Now she can stay on her mount easier, land on her feet if she is knocked off of her mount, and get back on with only 5 feet of movement. Unwavering Mark makes the enemy want to only target her and not her pet or mount.
Fighter 4 is the last level for this build with the amazing feat of Mounted Combatant. With this feat, she gains an advantage on creatures smaller than her mount, can force attacks to targeted her instead of her mount, and improved evasion for her mount.
