 As an Adventurers League DM I've tended to be a bit more forgiving.  In this game, I will be going back to the days of college. This hardcover is excellent, it should take you from 1st level through 11th level.  I'm still learning and forgetting the rules, so I may make a judgement call to keep the game going, but please call me on rules that you don't understand or think I'm doing wrong.

	Erik, you have your understanding of Cleric spells correct. You have the full gamat available, replace/refresh on Long Rest. You can upcast specific spells into other spell level slots (e.g. Cure Wounds at 3rd level, etc.) There is no 'cure serious wounds, cure critical wounds' it is all cure wounds(1st level) taking up a higher casting slot that scales.

	'''The above being said about Healing Kit''': There is an amazing Feat "Healer" that "As an action, you can spend one use of a healer's kit to tend to a creature and restore 1d6 + 4 hit points to it, plus additional hit points equal to the creature's maximum number of Hit Dice. The creature can't regain hit points from this feat again until it finishes a short or long rest." Which I have seen rogues use to amazing effect. (move into combat, heal like a low-level cleric then Bonus action disengage and move away from combat.)

 '''Skills''': (Not a question, but while reading the Face question that Brendan asked I wanted to make sure you knew) that Athletics is the only STR-based skill. Athletics is used a lot in Grappling, Shoving attacks (attacker Athletics vs defender Athletics/Acrobatics, defenders choice.)
-'''Guidance''': As long as you know the skill check is coming, having someone who can Guidance a check is amazing.  For skill checks: If you and another party member have proficiency in a skill, one may HELP the other (usually the person with the highest +) and that gives Advantage on the roll, they or someone else can then cast Guidance which gives a +1d4.   Resistance is..not as useful.  Maybe to help in specific instances, but I'm not breaking the game by telling you I have never used it.  On the other side, you can't use Guidance for Initiative (while an ability check it is happening too fast for you to cast a spell.) ('''Caveat:  Lets say in an ambush you are initiating you can cast Guidance on 1 person to help with that roll.''') or in occurrences where it doesn't make sense (I'm talking to the King and want to do an Insight check...I don't think he's going to want someone casting a spell.)  Helping with Survival checks and the like are all good and perhaps a pre-cast (lasts 1 minute and requires touch) before talking to someone or doing something you know is happening IS allowed.  '''<I understand that the above is a bit of YES/NO/YES/NO, if you have further questions, go ahead and ask.>'''

 '''Cleric Spells''':  Yes, 3 cantrips and they are locked.  Toll the Dead was a game changer when it came out, it scales great and if casting on something already damaged, uplift to 1d12 (e.g. Great Axe hit.) is amaze balls. I slightly disagree with Dan on Spare the Dying.  Cantrip vs. Limited resource while out in the wilderness. Also, (and I realize that Erik said Life Domain) the Grave Domain has this ability: "In addition, you learn the spare the dying cantrip, which doesn’t count against the number of cleric cantrips you know. For you, it has a range of 30 feet, and you can cast it as a bonus action."  which I have seen come in handy A LOT.  Life Domain is pretty amazing with the  2+ spell level heals and using your Channel Divinity to heal. I will add that Syndra Silvane has indicated that Port Nyarzaru has to deal with constant undead incursions.

 '''Heavy Armor''': If you get it for your starting equipment you may keep it.  You can either sell it (5E selling of equipment is 1/2 price in PHB usually.) and buy other armor at full price that isn't heavy OR keep it and try to maintain it and make CON saves while going through jungle, quicksand, falling into water, exhaustion.
