Spiritual Weapon did get a nerf though. It's now a Concentration spell to go along with the power buff it received. So it might still be just as good as it was, just different.

[@dndbuilds]

The changes to the clerics levels make no sense from a role-playing standpoint. Not choosing your divine domain until third level is weird. That's like devoting yourself to becoming a follower to a religion, but just not deciding on which religion until a little later... It just doesn't make sense from a character development aspect, and it drives me nuts

[@sonofdeleniel007]

Except Spiritual Weapon ended up getting a concentration requirement, so you can no longer stack it with Spirit Guardians or another potent conc. spell.

[@morrigankasa570]

I disagree with & dislike everything in "One D&D" except the receiving a Feat at lvl 1!!!

[@blakeroyal-gordon811]

Slight Correction/Misread on Preserve Life. It isn't limited by the creature's max HP, its limited by HALF its max HP.

[@morgancorey982]

I would trade the additional damage for the old spiritual weapon’s lack of a concentration requirement, any day, and all day on Sunday…

[@DDCRExposed]

I like the Divine Spark to heal or attack. Some may not like the magic option, but I feel this will have some great optimization possibilities in the future if this holds out.

[@wwade7226]

The nerf to Spiritual Weapon vastly outweighs the buff. Gone is the classic combo of Spirit Guardians + Spiritual Weapon.

[@GinLuna]

I hope that when we finally get the warriors, specifically barbarian, they're not restricted from "magic actions" while raging just "casting a spell"

[@duon101]

The strangest change is at 5th level clerics can have 4 1st level spells prepared and 5 2nd level prepared (2 from your domain). I think they need to just add 1st level spells to the domain, or just 2 extra prepared 1st level spells.

[@DnDShorts]

EDIT: Mb on Spiritual Weapon, it is now

[@Ailieorz]

I like the dazed condition. It's a negative effect but doesn't completely screw you up. Would make fights a lot more interesting

[@blue-eyeswhitekirbo2543]

An interesting note about the new life domain, it now makes items that allow you to cast healing spells (such as the staff of healing) less effective because they don’t gain your benefits anymore.

[@Ardith50]

I also think Prayer of healing got a buff. It now gives the benefit of a short rest in 10 minutes! Granted you only get that benefit once per long rest but it’s basically the genie warlock bottled respite as a spell (minus the protection).

[@Fernando_Cabanillas]

To consider, getting the order at second level means that your starting equipment can no longer include heavy armor. Also means that unless you have a generous DM, if you pick the martial option for your order, you are gonna have to wait a while before you can actually upgrade your armor and get a weapon.... Would be better to have it at level 1 and let people have the option to start with that armor if they had picked that order

[@jessethevosikan]

This Cleric is CRAZY GOOD for multi-classing! The usage of the proficiency bonus makes it great for a single level of cleric. Like the number of Channel Divinity uses. 20th level, you can Channel Divinity 6 times with a single dip in this Cleric + the (PB)6d8 healing or damage.

[@ReallyRobEgan]

This is an awesome review and the play test material just came out. Amazingly well done!

[@CaylorBratcher]

Something that you missed in the video is the level 6 feature allows clerics to heal creatures no more than up to HALF their max HP

[@Mitcheck315]

I think the dragonborn are in a really good spot right now, they don't have the active abilities and breath weapon options that the fizban ones do but in turn they get darkvision and flight, I think it's a great compromise. I also absolutely love the changes to Ardling to make them a more generic beastfolk (I would like a PHB Aasimar since I like them as a counterpoint to the tiefling though) and making the Goliath more distinct from the Orc and making them PHB is extremely welcome
