I remember a group i was in, someone wanted to be a fighting cleric but the rest of the party was like “we need a healer and youre the only one that fits the bill.” Meanwhile im sitting there with my warlock looking over different patrons and i stumbled onto the celestial patron. Long story short, his cleric kept my warlock practically untouched whilst i kept healing him... the rest of the party went through 2-3 characters due to lack of thinking. Thus, thug cleric team was born, with a warlock who has no scriptures to dictate their actions and a cleric that prefers to calmly beat the sin out of others.

Good news Davvy! In the time since you made this the cleric no longer has 15 domains. It's now up to 18. That's more than any other class. *Especially the wizard*.

Death Ward is actually a Domain Spell for Grave domain, so starting at 7th level you always have it prepared for free

Been playing a Trickery Domain cleric for about a year now in a campaign, gotta say, it's an absolute blast. The Channel Divinity in incredible with the right spells. It's so much fun to send it into a room of enemies, who, when they realize it's just an illusion, ignore it, only for it to start raining spells upon them. Taking a dip into Druid is also a great idea, since it gives you more spells to choose from (Thunderwave is great with situation above.) And getting wildshape is amazing, as i can effectively be my own animal companion for a time, and while i wont be able to cast spells out of the duplicate, they do grant me advantage on mauling my enemies as a bear if we're both next to the target. After playing it, it really opens up your eyes to how a lot of the internet's perception of some classes really is entirely from a combat point of view with little room for creative uses of powers.

People complain about not having a healer on your party... We had the opposite problem. We were a party of 5, with 4 healers... Paladin, Life Cleric, Bard, Warlock, and Rouge. Paladin and Rouge stand in the front, and both of them barely get hit in the first place with a 19 AC Paladin with the Protection fighting style, and the Rouge being, well, a Rouge. Also the Rouge got Shield of Faith from the Paladin. So, it turns out D&D really isn't balanced around this much healing. No fights our DM could reasonably throw at us came even close to being challenging. We just facetanked everything. Even if someone got crit and dropped to 0 HP, with 3 other healers there was no chance they stayed down for even a turn. And with the Bard duel wielding crossbows with the crossbow feat, and Paladin + Rouge standing next to each other being a really nasty combo, even big single target enemies were never a problem. And AoE was handled well by our Warlock and Bard as well. It got so bad our Cleric switched characters and plays a Fighter now. Who is constantly at the frontline and almost dying all the time.

So, my favorite character I've ever run was a Gnoll grave cleric. I'm personally amazed the character concept actually made sense. Managed to sneak a few bonuses extra bonuses in too by trading out the annoying 30 foot range for Spare the Dying, making it the regular version, for an extra racial ability. That giant fucking hyena kept people amazing alive amazingly well and smashed heads with the glorified nunchuks that are the flindbar, but when people died in a way that Revivify or Raise Dead couldn't fix, their corpse got eaten. Really put on edge on encounters with stuff that could pull that, knowing that if something that could pull that got them, there were no second chances.

Damn someone at Wizards of the Coast must really love this class. It truly can be almost anything it wants and sacrifice nearly nothing essential for it. Tempest Domain seems incredibly powerful, but War does seem fun and I hear nothing but good things about Forge Domain. I haven't played a Cleric yet myself but it's definitely on my to-do list. I envy (and honestly, somewhat question.) how many things this class can do.

I forgot that I chose Grave as a Cleric. No wonder my DM "lost" my character sheet.

This was SO helpful! Whenever I looked around, I couldn't find a lot of domains, so this video literally helped me pick the right domain for my character that wasn't an outright wizard with one heal spell. Thanks Davvy!

These are over a year old, and they're still fantastic!

If you look at dictionaries you will find nothing but bullshit answers as they are all biased and do not think about the consequences. If you define a atheist as someone that do not believe in a God, Buddhists are by definition atheists for that very reason. I don't exactly think it is fair to call the oldest living religion on earth atheistic. Buddhism is clearly not an atheistic religion as they themselves do not call themselves atheists. *Atheism is a rejection of theistic claims as being true.* Atheists reject tenets of Buddhism because they do not believe the claims are true. Atheists rejects the claims about Gods as true for the same reason. So. How can you have a cleric that is a servant to a powerful God without believing that it is a God? Simple. The cleric might not accept that a God is a God and not just some powerful being with massive amounts of power. Gods are celestials after all, a kind of creatures just like fey or devils. How is a powerful celestial any different from a power demon prince? Being a servant to a powerful creature is not the same as believing that it is a God. Warlocks can tell you the difference.

@@tanyanikolaevagizdova6571 As an atheist I take objection to that. To define atheism as "rejection of god(s)" is just silly. Atheism is the rejection of theistic claims. This is the problem that comes when you ask people that believe and follow religions to define what atheism is. There is no way you get an accurate or representative definition from people that are not atheists. Yet that is what happens here. As for "atheistic religion". That is a contradiction. Its like trying to act naturally, or a married bachelor. It doesn't work. You can not follow a religion while being an atheist. When you found a religion (even if it doesn't have gods) you are no longer an atheist. Atheism isn't about rejecting gods or not.

Cloud Seeker so is the definition you provided something you found, or is it a definition you came up with because you didn’t like the other ones? Because it seems to be the latter. Especially considering that the definition of theism is the belief in a god or gods, and atheism is the opposite of that. You can dislike the definition all you want, but pretending it means something completely different makes you wrong.

@@Aplesedjr Did you look up the definition in a dictionary? A dictionary do not define words or there meanings. A dictionary only show common usages of words and do not actually make any corrections if a word is used incorrectly. The word "literally" is such as word. It means literally and literally not literally at the same time. Theism is only defined as a "belief in god(s)" because it is people who believe in a god or gods that use the word the most and they will not try to be accurate to all other religions. The common definition is just biased and will literally not included the vast majority of religion that have existed. You will not find anything useful just by looking at a dictionary because it is inherently biased and do not try to be accurate. A dictionary will be shaped by the people that currently is in control of the language. Just so you know. This debate was common in 2008 all the way to 2013 and 2014. We are just repeating history at this point.

been playing a lot of clerics later, you pretty much nailed it

My day was already made the second I saw a new Devvy video. Clerics are my favorite class in d&d and this is my favorite class video (second place going to Barbarian)

To be fair, sometimes clerics are too powerful to not be a healer.

Personally, my favorite domain is the Grave domain. Ability to turn immunity into vulerability ? Yes please. Having the Life Clerics final bonus at lvl 1. Yes please (Althought it's only for when people are downed, that's when you actually *need* to heal them, before then they are as good at HP1 as they are at HP 300. Also grave domain, is the only domain that makes Spare the dying a good spell. Making it 30ft and bonus action, as it was meant to be. Always having access to revivify is awesome as you don't need to save a slot for that, and any of the ress spells after that, you can just swap to after a long rest anyways. The fact it also have potent spellcasting, instead of a melee thing, is just icing on the cake.

While i agree with most of this i *think* vulnerability and resistance/immunity cancel out, so giving vulnerability to a resistant creature simply makes it take normal damage and giving it to an immune creature does nothing, if i remember right. Still a great subclass though.

I love how you describe things. I am a dm and you are the channel I point new players to.

You opened my eyes to a couple of new Cleric types I hadn't looked into. The grave domain and the arcana (?) Domain. Gotta look into both of those the next time I want to play a cleric. Thank you.

We have a death cleric in our tomb of annihilation game. But I don't think he wants to bring us from the dead as he believes only the strong can survive and the weak die (his character not him). I've found myself putting alot of faith in my rage because of that.

why dont you have more subs ? Oo you are amazing greetings from germany

I liked this video so much I forced my housemate/bff to watch it with me. Both watching were in the same day, and for some reason this is my favorite video of yours that I've watched. It slays me (and then throws a d8 at me so I don't actually die).

The cleric is my favourite class. I made a cleric a while back who is still one of my favourites. He was an air genasi tempest cleric who functioned as being made of storm clouds and lightning

How to bully the undead Be a cleric Bully the hell of the undead making them want to die Making the dead suffering

I had a cleric npc kill my entire group after they murdered a town, he fought them all at once he was the same level as them

You are make the best D&D videos on the web! You are HILARIOUS!!!

That was a fantastic video! I DEMAND MORE!

Actually, it's Plane Shift Amonkhet that has 4 unique domains based of the 5 main gods of the plane: Solidarity, Knowledge, Strength, Ambition, or Zeal. The Knowledge Domain is the only PHB domain on Amonkhet. Also, Kaldesh has *ZERO* divine magic involved. No clerics or paladins to be seen unless they're a planeswalker.

I love my grave cleric.

I love this series so much

I think the biggest thing you missed about the Clerics, bonus spells. You only mentioned Light's and the occasional cantrip. Look at Trickery Cleric's bonus spells. *Look at them*

Withhold healing magic from the reckless members of your party in order to instill them with the fear of death. Maybe then, they'll stop making stupid decisions! For added effect, do so on a more frequent basis as their characters become more powerful. Nothing sucks more in D&D than spending weeks leveling up your character, only to have them get killed off and lose all your hard earned progress!

@Nyrufa

5 жыл бұрын

Nay, imbeciles! I'm suggesting you withhold healing because of role play reasons. Remember, Clerics aren't the same thing as Wizards. Their magic doesn't come from themselves, it comes from their gods. Every time they cast a spell, they pray to and open a channel for their deity to act upon the planes. It would make sense for a Cleric's god to get rather agitated if they constantly have to use their powers to revive the same morons over and over and over again. At that point, you're basically telling the players that death has no consequence, because "Oh, the Cleric will just bring us back!" Heck, if the character worships a different god than your own, you might even piss them off by constantly interfering!

Ah, the old "But that's what my character would do!" excuse. Firstly, if _you_ create a character who treats their teammates in the bullshit, passive-aggressive manner you have advocated here, it's still _you_ choosing to treat your fellow players that way. In a group-based activity, you are failing to do your job. So you're failing at the "G" part of "RPG". Secondly, you seem focused (like all people who resort to "But that's what my character would do!") on _your_ roleplaying experience to the exclusion of everyone else's. How are _their_ characters supposed to react to your character being an utter douchebag? Just take it? Or do they boot your character from the team and find someone else? So you fail at the "RP" part of "RPG" as well. Here's an idea. If you have a problem with how a fellow player is behaving, _talk to them._ As it stands, they're probably of the opinion that if the Cleric's alive to heal and raise people after the fight, all is good. After all, it's the Fighter's _job_ to charge in and engage the enemy and they might think the're doing it quite well. If the other player is literally LEROY JENKINS, talk to the other players and stage some kind of intervention, they're probably sick of the guy too. But taking it upon yourself to dole out healing as a way of policing other players' behaviour is just a dick move. TBH, I find it difficult to believe that you've ever tried the shit you have advocated at the table. I certainly wouldn't put up with it at one I was running or even at.
