Every feature is easy to use, there is only one combat trick, and you and your party are both very durable. Every subclass ability is rated blue except for Divine Strikes which, even if your DM doesn’t let you replace it with Blessed Strikes, is still green because you also get Martial Weapon Proficiency for free and can walk out with a warhammer and a shield and pretend you’re a Paladin.Īs of this writing, I’m currently playing a Twilight Cleric in an Out of The Abyss campaign and it feels like cheating. It could do both of those, fly, give someone advantage on initiative checks literally forever, and it has one of the best expanded spell lists in the game. The primary one of these was, of course, the Life domain Cleric, a subclass that’s so boring that its subclass capstone is barely usable because combat healing is a terribly inefficient proposition.
Prior to Tasha’s, you had Clerics that were better than baseline at healing or preventing damage, Clerics that could wear heavy armor, and a few that were both. They’re just better at everything Clerics do than most other clerics. Twilight domain Clerics are one of the best instances of power creep you can find in 5th Edition.
