Best Cleric Divine Domains, Clerics in Dungeons & Dragons 

I love Grave Domain the most, it's sort of a weird type of Cleric, since is not exactly a healer nor a damage dealer, but I've found in my campaign that it is a crazy good support. Keeps the party alive while helping them kill the bad guy faster. And the flavor/roleplaying options are AMAZING. You can be a Van Hellsing, a Plague Doctor, or a Tribal Shaman. Is just an amazing Domain. (I apologize for my poor english)

I love forge, light, and twilight cleric. I’m new to DnD and fell in love with forge first and love cleric class as a whole.

my new character is a con artist pretending to be a cleric, that caught the eye of a god of mischief and was made into a real cleric. i picked trickery domain with the charlatan background and im having a blast robbing people blind while healing the party

I like the “top 5 and least favorit” adition to your class/subclass videos. I hope you will continue to do that in the future

My 5 favorite domains: Grave Light Life Tempest Arcana Honorable mention: Forge Least Favorite: Nature. Mechanically it's very weak and the powers don't necessarily match up thematically. I did a homebrew version of this class. You lose the heavy armor proficiency and gain sort of a permanent barkskin armor. You're literally like a tree-like, green knight. The bonus is starts as a medium armor AC 14 and goes up to 15 at level 6, 16 at level 11, 17 at level 17. You can use a shield and just like other medium armor, you can use up to +2 from Dex. No stealth penalties.

Playing my first ever campaign and going tempest cleric! Excited for the mixed build.

I have actually began a highschool campaign as a Aarakocra Peace domain cleric. It's awesome, alot of supporting abilities and spells to control the opponents to bring the battle to a end as smoothly as possible.

Great list. :) I feel Arcana Cleric is underrated and probably my favorite, although Tempest is pretty awesome, too.

I definitely love tempest the most. Storms and lightning are a cool asthetic and the proficency with heavy armor and martial weapons make it a real threat to go against

I jumped into a 16lvl campaign 6 months ago. I made a fire genasi Blood Hunter Lycan (INT modifier). I was having a blast! For narrative reasons (and because I wanted to) I multiclassed to cleric at lvl 17. Because of the story I had to pick the tempest domain. With a little freedom from the DM my character spread a pear of wings. I will continue on the cleric path till the end lvl 20. So: I have a Flaming Winged Werewolf!!!! I L O V E D & D

Try a forge cleric, it's what the war cleric wants to be when it grows up...

Hey that's a cool list! I like your reasoning for each. Also good to see Light cleric up there, still playing mine and I recently got fireball, cannot wait to try it out. Especially since I never played a wizard or sorcerer that can use it.

Twilight Domain is my favourite by far! The prerequisite is a DM with brains and experience...

Life Domain for the win! It is the best you can heal your friends like a boss! I want to play Garlic Bread domain one day too.

So I'm playing a Goliath Tempest Cleric in Descent into Avernus, it's awesome. Basically the party tank, grappling and smashing dudes head's in. Tossing kegs, charging into a room of 7 cultist and using amplified thunderwave/ shatter to zaporize everyone. It's cool AF 👌. My favorite D&D character to date.

I’ll agree with ya on the Nature Domain. Seems too Druidish. But, my #1 is the Twilight Domain. My first Cleric. And I love it. The only other one I’ve played is the Grave Domain. Love that one, too. Tempest is my Next In Line. Then I’m thinking Trickster. Then either War or Forge.

Currently playing as a Twilight Domain Cleric of Sehanine and I love it. He’s a Mark of the Shadow elf, so I RP the idea that the moonlight guides me in the night and it’s shadows conceal me from a fight. I’m also a DM for another group and one of my players is a Tempest Cleric of Kord. He’s a sailor whose family was murdered and ran from home. In search for answers he seeks storms for strength and protection.

Tempest to me is overplayed. It’s the cleric I see the most in groups. I really like light, forge, order, and trickery domains.

Life domain is like the starter subclass while grave is the advanced level.

"Also has to cling to life because it's what's right, apparently." I feel like I'm the odd one out here, playing a Charm domain undead serving a neutral deity, lol. Great list though!

My personal favorite is the zeal domain which is a Planeshift Amohnket domain and it is a nice mix between the War and Tempest domains and is very very fun to play

Currently playing a War Cleric, it's both fun and frustrating at the same time. However I'm now level five and the combo of spirit guardians and spiritual weapon, plus a cantrip like toll or sacred flame, and you become a force. Or if you are feeling a little vulnerable, you can dodge, while still knocking out the damage. Good times.

Light domain for me!

Don't forgot! Tempest Cleric also has Heavy Armor and Martial Weapon Proficiency, making you a tanky stormcaller which is just absolutely awesome.

Just for flavor light, death and war are my favourites.

just found your channel am binge watching your videos got to say you should try a nature cleric for the same reason you like war cleric and grave domain it walks the line between healing and nature magic and has heavy armour so can stride the battlefield dishing out damage and casting spells. mechanically heavy Armour lets you tank, shillelagh lets you dish out melee damage with your spell casting stat meaning you can max wisdom and your melee wont suffer and spells like spike growth give you excellent battlefield control on top of your cleric spells. If you take booming blade with magic initiate and use shillelagh and add your divine strike your a beast smiting the enemies of nature.

Tempest is my favorite cleric and I'm on my third tempest cleric. A centaur tempest cleric and he is an absolute blast

I knew you would say nature was your least favorite! I may skip that one in my quest to play them all. My firbolg ranger/order domain with magic initiate druid is basically a nature domain cleric anyway, right? Arcana is probably something Id play in a high level one shot, and not otherwise. My forge cleric is VERY gratifying. Being able to make things for my party is way more fun than I expected. It may end up my favorite overall, or at least have my favorite divinity option. Voice of authority is great too. Healing a the barbarian who doesnt have much options (if any) for his reaction is too good. Imagine if I didnt have two attacks through multi classing, I could do that damn near every turn. WIth this getting long, I'll say I think light will be fun, my war cleric was sneaky good at support (two party members had sharpshooter, no need to explain), grave, im waiting for a TOUGH campain, and life I'll play again when i feel I have "mastered" clerics. They will think they are god's gift to the party! hahaha

5:14 Heh, heh, yeah! Fire, FIRE! Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh!

Life domain forever

Gonna simp and say he's kinda hot.

In your opinion how would you create Marvel movies Thor’s new axe in D&D 5E? “Stormbreaker”. Playing a 5th level Tempest Cleric human.

War domain is thematicaly fun but it is badly designed because war priest feature (bonus action attack) conflict with weapon spirtit bonus action attack, wich make war priest only usable at lvl 1-4. Compare it with light's flare or tempest reaction, wich are always usefull even at high levels (same for life domain usefullness). A tempest, light or forge is a better frontliner than war, wich is absurd. Clerics are full casters and should rely on spells (weapon attacks are just backup damages). War domain clerics should be the holy protectors / buffers / battleground controllers, not the "i try the be a paladin but i can't hit hard enough". I made a small rework of the war domain War Priest, wich works well at the table, without being OP : War Priest : you can ask your god to protect you from injuries. as a reaction when you are hit by an attack, apply a holy shield to eventually counter it. The holy shield equals your Wis mod. and you can use it a number of time per long rest equal to your Wis. Mod. At level 6, you can use your channel divinity to apply it to an ally as a reaction. note : it's basically a lesser shield spell because it doesn't last until your next turn and it's weaker until you reach Wis 20. But it can eventually save your concentration spell (war domain is all about concentration buff/debuff spells), or save an ally from a bad hit.

Haha, there was the answer to my question in your last clip : what is your favourite cleric. I think my least favourite is Death. Tried it out and wasn’t impressed at all. Nature is tough to love, I agree. Why not a Druid instead. The one I’m most likely to play is Forge I think. Or a Light domain Pyromancer

Tempest jello?

My favorite domain is death but not this one

And grave domain but I don’t like it either😂😂 well I don’t hate it either but I think there is more potential

We talking 5e? pathfinder? Im watching the Cleric playlist and im lost. Looking on D20pfsrd i dont see a Forge Domain or a Tempest Domain.
