It gains martial weapon proficiency, but it doesn’t excel at using weapons. Summary of Domain: Turn/banish otherworldly creatures, healing includes dispel, radiant damage bonus to Cleric cantrips, learn high-level spells from Wizard spell list that become domain spells.įlutes’ Evaluation (3/5) : The Death Cleric seemed, at first, to be a mess. I slightly docked the Game Design score because I imagine DMs may grow frustrated with the Spell Breaker feature ruining their encounters that rely on debuff spells.īonus cantrips: Two from the Wizard spell list. I didn’t include Arcane Mastery in considering the Domain Spells, but getting high-level Wizard spells as Domain Spells is incredible. The level-seventeen Arcane Mastery allows you to make your Arcana Cleric unique to any other character as you amplify the Cleric/Wizard hybridization of the domain. Even more insane is the ability to dispel all your allies with Mass Healing Word as a bonus action. The option to transform Healing Word into a single-spell-target Dispel Magic in addition to its usual bonus-action healing is insanely useful. I love the Spell Breaker feature that allows healing to soft-dispel allies (you can only dispel spells, not just any magical effect). Without concentration, banning low-level otherworldly creatures is a cool bonus to the Channel Divinity, though it might not be used much. The domain’s spells are a mixed bag of circumstantial and critical spells, but they are unique for Clerics, and they match the subclass theme. Without further ado, let’s go through the Cleric Domains alphabetically to discover their weight in the travel pack of Flutes!įlutes’ Evaluation (4/5) : One of my least favorite aspects of playing a Cleric is the lack of cantrip options, but the Arcana Domain mixes things up by gaining two additional cantrips from the vast list of Wizard cantrips.


Domain Spells are part of each subclass’ identity, but it’s daunting for Domain Spells to compete with Cleric spells like Spirit Guardians and Spiritual Weapon. Its subclasses add versatility to these holy characters. The Cleric is a strong class in D&D 5e, no doubt. The gods are many, and so are those who would worship them, embarking on divinely appointed quests. Quicklinks – Misty Step to Your Favorite Domain
