Alternative Divine Intervention option: Prayer of Healing for in-combat short rest. Not amazing for your cleric but a monk or fighter or warlock ally would love you for it if they get low on resources in a long combat. Hallow is still better but this looks pretty nice if Hollow gets nerfed or banned at your table.

Other classes that moved the subclass choice should have also had something similar in it somewhere, but basically you get everything at level 1 and 2 at level 3, unless its been replaced by something new.

2024-08-30 04:41:32 +0000 UTCKilling me to death. I'm not going to fill up these comments with negatives, but damn. From 14 options down to 4 and they didn't even print 4 "new-ish" revised ones. Anyone else noticing the subclasses that didn't get any work are the weakest? 5R is pointless for existing players right now.

2024-08-28 18:37:05 +0000 UTCI think Hallow would need some rules at the table. Using it to protect villagers while you deal with monsters? Yes. Creating a safe space to retreat to or rest? Yes. Using it during active combat encounter? No.

2024-08-28 18:10:05 +0000 UTCClerics have backwards compatibility with old subclasses? Impressive. I haven't noticed a line quite like that yet from these videos, but maybe he didn't point it out so much.

2024-08-28 17:00:01 +0000 UTCBeen workshopping a War cleric with a martial dip (probably fighter or ranger). Shillelagh through magic initiate or ranger fighting style and two weapon fighting with a club and a nick weapon, I think there is an effective, though not OP, gish build in there. Slow weapon mastery with the club would give you a good chance of locking a creature in your spirit guardians.

2024-08-28 14:43:28 +0000 UTCAfter seeing some other favorite subclasses catch the nerf stick, I'm really glad Tempest Domain didn't make it in. It's a very slept on subclass, but I've been playing it for 3 years and it's been amazing for me.

2024-08-28 13:15:44 +0000 UTCGotta say, relative to other classes, even relatively unchanged ones like Sorcerer, not seeing much I’m excited by in Cleric- still held back by a mediocre spell list (with some stand outs) and not really good Gish options, even for War Domain. IF I go Cleric I’m probably going Life Domain because I’m here to drop Spirit Guardians then keep the party healthy. Trickery Domain looks fun at least- kind of a balanced Echo Knight with spellcasting. Maybe a good 3 level dip for Rangers
