 +
<span class="mw-customtoggle-myDivision-dnotes" style="display:inline; float:right;">&nbsp;<sup>+</sup>&nbsp;</span><ref name="ua23phpt6" /> Here are the main updates in this class since its last playtest version:
 +
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-myDivision-dnotes">
 +
* {{iplink|Divine Order}}, formerly called ''Holy Order'', has moved from 2nd level to 1st level. The Thaumaturge option has been redesigned to include elements from the former Thaumaturge and Scholar options.
 +
* {{iplink|Spellcasting}} has one noteworthy change: spell preparation is no longer tied to the level of your spell slots.
 +
* {{iplink|Channel Divinity}} has returned to 2nd level, and its number of uses now increases with your Cleric level and isn’t based on your Proficiency Bonus. In addition, you regain one use whenever you finish a Short Rest. The healing and damage of Divine Spark has also changed, and Turn Undead now uses the Incapacitated and Frightened conditions. Finally, the multiclassing sidebar has a new rule for Channel Divinity.
 +
* {{iplink|Cleric Subclass}} levels now match the level progression in the 2014 Cleric, except for the subclasses now starting at 3rd level.
 +
* {{iplink|Smite Undead}} now uses your Wisdom modifier rather than your Proficiency Bonus. We have also clarified that this damage doesn’t end the turn effect on an Undead.
 +
* {{iplink|Blessed Strikes}} now lets you choose Divine Strike or Potent Spellcasting. In 2014, a subclass gave you one of those features. In this playtest, you now get a choice.
 +
* {{iplink|Commune}} is a new 9th-level feature.
 +
* {{iplink|Improved Blessed Strikes}} is a new 14th-level feature.
 +
* {{iplink|Divine Intervention}} and Greater Divine Intervention have been redesigned to allow reliable results. This was the most requested change for these features.
 +
* {{iplink|Greater Divine Intervention}} has returned to 20th level, replacing Epic Boon (Epic Boon feats will return in a future UA, but they won’t be built into a class’s level progression).

Class Group: Priest
Primary Ability: Wisdom


Design Notes: Cleric Updates[edit]

 + [1] Here are the main updates in this class since its last playtest version:

  • Divine Order, formerly called Holy Order, has moved from 2nd level to 1st level. The Thaumaturge option has been redesigned to include elements from the former Thaumaturge and Scholar options.
  • Spellcasting has one noteworthy change: spell preparation is no longer tied to the level of your spell slots.
  • Channel Divinity has returned to 2nd level, and its number of uses now increases with your Cleric level and isn’t based on your Proficiency Bonus. In addition, you regain one use whenever you finish a Short Rest. The healing and damage of Divine Spark has also changed, and Turn Undead now uses the Incapacitated and Frightened conditions. Finally, the multiclassing sidebar has a new rule for Channel Divinity.
  • Cleric Subclass levels now match the level progression in the 2014 Cleric, except for the subclasses now starting at 3rd level.
  • Smite Undead now uses your Wisdom modifier rather than your Proficiency Bonus. We have also clarified that this damage doesn’t end the turn effect on an Undead.
  • Blessed Strikes now lets you choose Divine Strike or Potent Spellcasting. In 2014, a subclass gave you one of those features. In this playtest, you now get a choice.
  • Commune is a new 9th-level feature.
  • Improved Blessed Strikes is a new 14th-level feature.
  • Divine Intervention and Greater Divine Intervention have been redesigned to allow reliable results. This was the most requested change for these features.
  • Greater Divine Intervention has returned to 20th level, replacing Epic Boon (Epic Boon feats will return in a future UA, but they won’t be built into a class’s level progression).

Unofficial Description: Clerics draw their power from the outer planes and the beings therein. Clerics are blessed beyond mere priests, exhibiting manifestations of deific power.
