Okay while Eloquence Bard is great, let's make it the last one when voting is open, so YMBA can end this season on a high note with a OP class that makes DMs cry.
100% accurate. I ran a one shot, and a friend played a Harengon Trickery Cleric...to say it became a Bugs Bunny cartoon because of it, would be completely true.
Fr honestly bg3 portrays trickery cleric so badly and im saying this as someone who loves the subclass. She sucks at it, particularly at hiding her worship and pulling off in story tricks.
About Modify Memory, friendly reminder as a DM that it's a very good counter to a Polymorphed T-Rex, as they have very weak save against this spell, so it's easy to convince them that their party betrayed them (and since the T-Rex is very dumb, it won't think twice about it before being transformed back and regaining their Intelligence). Easy dominate beast without concentration.
one use for the cloak of shadows feature, while not the strongest, it does work well with invoke duplicity, since it doesn't use concentration. Essentialy what you can do is use invoke duplicity, then use the use cloak of shadows to go invisible and use to get away while the your duplicate is distracting your foe/pursuer, kinda like a budget version of mislead.
trickery domain multiclasses REALLY well with either assassin rogue or thief rogue. roll a drow, split cleric levels with assassin and paladin and you have a drow judicator or even a favored consort of lolth. Loved that character
I always loved that Forgotten Realms novel trilogy about Everis Cale who was a Chosen of Mask. He was a rogue / trickery cleric, which was a super interesting combination. It wasn't a prankster archetype, more like a priest of a sneaky rogue god. (the god Mask)
One of my favorite Characters was a Halfling Rogue 1 / Trickery Cleric 3, worshipper of Tymora. I reflavored every spell and feature as the character manipulation the odds with sheer luck from Lady Tymora! - Guidance? Luck - Bless? More Luck - Pass WIthout trace? still luck, nobody look to where we our!
Its cool seeing your take on this class, ive played with three separate trickery clerics and each one has at some point developed sticky finger to the point the party basically cut holes in their pockets and bags so they couldn't steal anything remotely shiny when we werent looking directly at them.
Just to address a misconception in the video, Blessing of the trickster states, "Starting when you choose this domain at 1st level, you can use your action to touch a willing creature other than yourself to give it advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. This blessing lasts for 1 hour or until you use this feature again." Thus you cannot use it on yourself. The more you know.
@@youmightbeadnd no problem, honestly if a gm allowed the cleric to self cast it I genuinely don’t see a balance issue with it lmao but eh, that’s warlocks of the shoreline for yah
@@wavecycle that’s really not as strong as you think when you consider that rogues get a higher ac from studded leather light armor with a good ac than they do from the best medium armors that give disadvantage to stealth. Plus, it’s stealth and not invisibility so you still need to be heavily obscured. If you can explain how advantage on stealth is more broken than a paladin/sorcerer/hexblade multiclass or coffeelock maybe I’ll believe it was balanced with multiclassing in mind and almost nothing else in the game was lol
Don't forget the Gentleman Bastard Series for thematic inspiration. Locke Lamora, priest of the Nameless Thirteenth/the Crooked Warden, is a quintessential trickery cleric using thievery/deception as a religious practice
yeah the "player handbook effect" is why I am both looking forward and dreading the new one this year, still the playtest version of Trickery was alright.
Great video dude! Love the Trickery Cleeic and the mischievous vibes it has, but also how well it lends itself to stealthy deceptive gameplay shenanigans with sleight of hand like tricks. The fact that you can have up to eight versions of you on the battlefield at level 17 is as side achingly funny for the players as it is aneurism incoming for your DM. A great subclass all up - not my favourite necessarily (Twilight for the win), but definitely great for roleplay elements. If I ever play this subclass, I know who I’m having as my deity of worship: the gopher from Caddyshack XD
Something about pairing Trickery Cleric with Feywander Ranger just feels right. 3 levels to let the wisdom focused trickster add wisdom to all Charisma skill checks, allowing them to function as a party face is really strong. Maybe add in the Druidic Warrior fighting style for Wisdom scaling when you have to get involved with melee combat. 5th level for multi attack and misty step. Go either 3 or 5 ranger and cleric the rest of the way and I think you're gonna have so much fun
I think I'm going to have my fiery Dragonborn sorcerer multiclass into this route because she often likes to play fiery pranks on others. She's also chaotic neutral due to an unfortunate curse placed on her the night after her birth (that almost got her killed) and her parents' attempts to mitigate said curse.
In an RP heavy game... This Subclass is amazing. While the Cleric combo of Spiritual Weapon and Spirit Guardians is the typical combo, lean into the dex a bit and you also have an incredibly sneaky character... just remember... the cloak of shadows doesn't have to be used only in combat. At the table this subclass rocks, and I speak from years of experience running one.
Clerics never appealed to me much, but today the last player to join a group is opting to pick Cleric so I went to look at their subclasses and I had no clue there was such a variety.
A video about trickery domain cleric, mentioning the sheer insanity that is Jester and Laura Bailey, and having innuendo in the video? Yep, the Traveller has blessed this one lol.
Imma say it, this subclass has the best expanded list in the entire game. On top of all the majors hits cleric usually has, now you have a bunch of the best spells in the game that aren't on the cleric list. The features are weak but remember that spells are features and having so many good spells in one puts it above many cleric subclasses that may have good features but not good spell lists.
This is by far my favorite cleric subclass. Sure, it's not super powerful, but doing that isn't fun for me because I already know how to "break" the game.
I know this isn't the best choice mechanically (Action Economy effing sucks) but I'm running an Echo-Knight Fighter (6) / Trickery Domain Cleric (4) after Strahd himself decided to shove the soul of my prior character into my echo...
![BOWKYLION - วิงวอน (ex-change) [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/cLdnZWDaO-w/mqdefault.jpg)
Multiclass this with the arcane trickster and you get the trickery trickster.
Literally building this as we speak.
As my DM described it: “You wanna play Loki?”
You DM is bold to invite such mischief.
Okay while Eloquence Bard is great, let's make it the last one when voting is open, so YMBA can end this season on a high note with a OP class that makes DMs cry.
I always vote for Eloquence 😊
We finally got trickery cleric. I'm happy. So I'll help you get Eloquence Bard as the finale!
Eloquence Bard makes me cry as a PLAYER. When dice rolls effectively become pointless like... What's the point of playing when you CAN'T fail?
Been doing that already. I love alchemist and kinda wanna see a video on it XD
The Rick Roll was triggering. And yet, perfect.
A Harengon Trickery Cleric is Bugs Bunny comitting to a bit.
100% accurate. I ran a one shot, and a friend played a Harengon Trickery Cleric...to say it became a Bugs Bunny cartoon because of it, would be completely true.
@@ATK1734 It’s what Bugs deserves.
And I am soo playing as...
MAY THE BUNNY BLESS YOU DOC
@shadowldrago hell yeah Elmer( the unblessed term)
That's true of every harengon
I remember Punk’d, I also remember Candid Camera. And if you are old, then so to am I.
These videos are really becoming one of those things I really look forwards to each week. I really like hearing about this odd and random classes.
I had no sound on this video and thought it was part of the gag
Ah Shart... the trickster Cleric that people respec into any other subclass as soon as they can....
And if you're old, I'm Ancient ....
I waited until it was thematically appropriate to respec her

ANOTHER CHARACTOR SHEET MADE, I grow stronger with every video
This might be just the right Cleric subclass to mix with Rogue to multiclass as a holy agent of a thief god.
one use for the cloak of shadows feature, while not the strongest, it does work well with invoke duplicity, since it doesn't use concentration.

Are there any other good forgotten realms books besides the Drittz books?
@@DerrickBarrows Ed greenwoods elminster books
@@justinterry8894 thank you
I’ve been voting for this in every poll. I am thrilled to see it has been made. Trickery is so much fun.
This is actually my first ever played and most favorite DnD Subclass
Disguised elf sounds like good spell.
Sounds like a fun character
Its cool seeing your take on this class, ive played with three separate trickery clerics and each one has at some point developed sticky finger to the point the party basically cut holes in their pockets and bags so they couldn't steal anything remotely shiny when we werent looking directly at them.
Imagine Multi classing with a echo night just a ton of doubles
Thank you for looking all the way down here and by doubles I mean three

@@demonderpz7937 Because very rogue ever would dip this for permanent adv on stealth plus armour plus shield plus spells...

Ah yes Karlach supremacy. Very proud of you YMBA
Heck yeah!
Muscle Mommy lol
yeah the "player handbook effect" is why I am both looking forward and dreading the new one this year, still the playtest version of Trickery was alright.
Might just be me, but I think Trickery Domain works better at the table than in BG3. I usually change Shadowheart to be a War Domain cleric.
Excellent character, atrocious character build
Because the BG3 Trickery Cleric doesn't have a usefull "Invoke Duplicity" Feature
IGNIS *critical miss*
FLAGRA *miss*
That sure was a tricky video, but you managed to pull it off😂😂
Do you want a domain that everyone respecs into Life or Light? Be a Trickery Cleric

Tricky! Tricky! Trick- RICKY!?
Bro just casually rickrolled us gg
I know I’m about 4 years behind, but finally seeing the epic Jester vs the Hag from CR C2E93 other day was just hilarious!
I think I'm going to have my fiery Dragonborn sorcerer multiclass into this route because she often likes to play fiery pranks on others. She's also chaotic neutral due to an unfortunate curse placed on her the night after her birth (that almost got her killed) and her parents' attempts to mitigate said curse.
FINALLY!!! Lady Tymora smiles upon us today!

PUNK'D? I remember Candid Camera! As I watched Kelso from that 70s Show, I realized he was just remaking CC for the MTV age.
I'm playing a Glamour Bard/ Trickery Cleric and he is awesome
A Trickery Cleric, a Trickster a Rogue and a Satire Bard walk into a bar.....
The DM quit.
Wow an illusionist wrapped in a clerics hitdie and armor
shart is a good girl, dont be mean :(
minthara, however, will always be my beloved

I unironically love Never Gonna Give You Up, so I thrive off being Rick Rolled
Been waiting for this one for ages
One of my Players is using this subclass he is outstanding
Been waiting so long for this
I was thinking making a Kobold one would be funny.
Gnome Trickery Cleric would be pranks on pranks. Perhaps next character. I dunno...
I loved punked and yes we’re old
This is by far my favorite cleric subclass. Sure, it's not super powerful, but doing that isn't fun for me because I already know how to "break" the game.
Well blessing of the trickster cant be casted on yourself though
You right ny b
I have been Rick rolled twice today. The day has not been good
It's been excellent DO BE DO BE DOOO DOOOO, DOOO DOOO...
YOU ARS A GREAT TH-camR AND YOU BETTER NOT FORGET IT OR ELSE
YOU'VE JUST BEEN FILTHY PRANKED!
Tomska: the subclass
I feel like this is a better class for a loki character-
Thanks for this!
Karlach best gurl
Voted for this constantly just to get rick rolled. . .
Trickery doesn’t get dispel magic in BG3 😢 would make the sub class not utter garbage overall. This sounds way better then what you get in BG3
Jaheira is the greatest gal in BG3. Gives me older Michelle Pfeiffer vibes!!
Bad ass elf grandma
@@KnicKnac I love her. She's awesome
Still waiting for Archfey Warlock and Way of Mercy monk

Unfortunately, you can't touch yourself
You sound like my preacher
@@youmightbeadnd yeah, it's a shame I know. But worry not, you still have others to touch!
This man gets me
Man continues to dodge fighters. Do cavalier!
They aren't that special.
*I’ll be honest.. I prefer the Grave cleric over trickery but trickery is absolutely fucking funny*
3:11 sponsored segment ends
Alchemist, where are you ?
Great vid
Ah yes, the subclass the is fantastic in practice, and perfectly embodies their fantasy. Unless you play BG3. Then they suck.
"Holy it's own"...HAHAHAA
Excellent video Mr. Ymba, I just have one critique.
Minthara is far superior to Karlach.
Unless I'm missing something, Blessing of the Trickster can't be applied to yourself.
No you right, I messed up
Ah, yes, Loki
Ya'll can keep Karlach and Shadowfart. Minthara is the best.
@YMBA please do way of the long death
Can you do a video on the assassin Rouge subclass
I know one player that this is perfect for👌
Make the duplicate not take concentration and it's top tier
When’s the next hombrew class ymba?
Peanut Butter
OMG, you Rick Rolled us?! WTF, man? Sub cancelled. JK!
TEMPEST AND LIGHT CLERIC NEED LOVE!
Awesome Vid! but Blessing of the Trickster cant be use on yourself, saddly =/
Whoops you right
YESSS
Peanut Butter!
Can you please do samurai?
Who’s that particular player that made trickery cleric popular @ 1:48?
Laura Bailey, she’s playing a character called Jester, a Tiefling Trickery Cleric who I guess is Really popular
Karlach is the best girl, hands *down!*
Oathbreaker Paladin pls
So you low-key become loki in dnd...
AAAAAHHHHHHH
Why does divine smite give you poison damage?
ok i wanna play an influencer that scams her fans for shit but i don't wanna play bard so i when with this
Umm... at 6:41... Blink is Ethereal Plane, not Astral.
Karlach and shadow heart best girl's
