I decided to make another D&D Cleric, I got fed up falling down with one of my gishes. Here are my notes.
I am playing at a table that uses the 2014 rules, here is the Cleric page at dnd5e wiki. I plan to run an Assimar and DnD Beyond use the Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse version. The PC’s sub-class/domain is the Arcana Domain sub-class.
ON the D&D beyond, I need to check the number of prepared spells, which AFAIK is WIS modifier + level + the domain spells, so 8+. The Assimar special abilities, healing and radiant consumption are defined by the proficiency level. The 5th level Cleric’s ability “Destroy Undead” is not written into the character sheet.
The next spells I want are, Sanctuary (1), Command (1), Hold Person (2), Lesser Restoration (2), Silence (2), & Beacon of Hope. I suppose, Protection from Good/Evil should probably be there too. I should probably develop an “in town” prepared list. What I have is strongly healer and combat orientated and not so investigative/exploratory.
I need to get on top of how to play the class, in combat,
- A: Shield of Faith, BA: Attack cantrip, noting that Mind Sliver places a debuff on the character making either TtD or Guiding Bolt more likely to succeed.
- A: Spiritual Weapon, BA: Another Attack Cantrip, or maybe Bless
- A: Attack Cantrip unless Cure Wounds is needed, BA: depends on A
Note: that at L5 we have spirit guardians so maybe that is cast at 2, and I should check the channel divinity resource use; it might be useful in some combats.
The D&D Beyond lists many spells twice in the spell list on the .pdf version of the character sheet. Google AI explains this as caused by legacy spell commitments, error handling of multi classing or domain spells.
