Peace Cleric is the only one that I've heard someone call for a ban/nerf. "Assuming that with average to hit bonus and average enemy AC you hit about 65% of the time..." is going straight out the window if your whole party gets +2d4 on an attack roll. As long as a frontline fighter like a barbarian, paladin or fighter is in the party, the DM basically has to think about just increasing enemy AC by 1 or 2 to still challenge the group.

@@PowderKeg3838 Yup. And Treantmonk's ratings have a much higher threshold for them. S tier for Dudes is just a very good subclass.

[@tarrickmerdev2324]

They don't agree at all. Dungeon Dudes just said they love these subclasses. Treatmonk said he hates them. That's about as far apart as you can get. Both of them saying the subclasses are powerful is just stating a fact like saying water is wet; that isn't agreement.

[@LanceorTC]

Treantmonk: "These classes are stupidly powerful and honestly they shouldn't exist in their current form, I hate them." vs. Dudes: "These subclasses are stupidly powerful and game breaking, and we love them for it. (ok, maybe twilight might be a slight problem)" Same ranking, but really a very different conclusion.

Yes Twilight can be strong, but the things that make it strong can be worked around. Especially if you can homebrew monsters. A monster with lots of large diameter aoe attacks that steal temp hp and the temp hp does stack for the monster, inflicts stun/paralizes for the next rounds to any enemies on whom the fear or charm condition ends, switches it's 30'' ft darkvision with that of all non friendly creatures with more darkvision than it has, has enemies automatically fail their saving throw if they are in dim light or darkness and can share most of these with its minions combined with hit and run tactics will (I think) have a twilight cleric struggle considerable.

You guys might have to give this S+ because you two forgot that after sharing your Eyes of Night feature, you can expend a spell slot OF ANY LEVEL to use it again. It acts like a prepared Darkvision spell that sacrifices the 8 hour duration for longer distance AND multiple people within one cast and can be cast for free once per long rest. Also thank you for making me realize there was even more power within the subtle wording of Steps of Night. You are absolutely right that you must be in dim light/darkness to activate it but nothing about staying within it. On a side note, this would only be game breaking if you could share your flight, which is a good thing you can't. I am currently using the Twilight Domain for my very first cleric character. A centaur in the Iceland Dale module. You have to think about the implications of that power. Sure I am a centaur that is heavy and big but.......think about it. XD

[@r3liability]

Even if these weren't S tier, domains from Tasha's filled a gap in the options that the pantheons gave us, esp for my clerics. We needed a good PLUR and moon domain, but idk how many knew wotc would go this hard.

[@caramelfrappe402]

Oh my god I was waiting to hear what they had to say about Twilight Clerics. I am currently playing as a Twilight Cleric Satyr and it's the most fun I've had in D&D, and instead of just being a unique little fun subclass, it's super good as well; i've been able to do so much while being super helpful.

Peace Cleric is universally banned at most tables I play at. I was frankly quite surprised when you guys were struggling to choose if it was A or S.

[@lordzaboem]

Why is it banned? Is it the roleplay issue of being a violent peace-lover?

[@taktikal26]

@@lordzaboem No. It is the fact that at level one, the Peace Domains Cleric can double the to hit bonus of 2 characters for an entire combat. Stacking Bless and Emboldening Bond gives those characters an additional +2d4 (6 average) to hit. A level 1 fighter now has a +11 to hit on attack roles. It becomes very ridiculous from the start of the class and it does not slow down.

[@lordzaboem]

@@taktikal26 So the PeaceCler is trading all of her healing capability until after the next long rest for a great boost to a teammate in a single encounter. This seems very manageable to me, maybe even a bad trade. Each to his own I guess.

[@nonomen6665]

​@@lordzaboem 1: The peace cleric isn't trading off any healing capabilities 2: It isn't a single encounter. It's at the very least 2 encounters, increasing with your prof. bonus 3: You're not realizing how much this breaks bounded accuracy. The game expects you to hit 65% of the time, or, on an 8 or higher. With an average of +5 from Bond & Bless to every die roll, now you're hitting on 3 or higher, or 90% of the time. And of course, it's *per turn*, not per round, so even after you get your attack, you're still gonna get to use that for saving throws. 4: Peace Domain doesn't only break bounded accuracy, but, after it gets protective bond, it gets to break positioning as well. Grapples, area control effects, ongoing AOE damage, traps, and Opportunity Attacks all stop being a threat to the party because you can rescue an ally by punching yourself and having them spend a Reaction to intercept the attack.

I absolutely love my Twilight Cleric. One thing that’s nuts about it is this excerpt from the Twilight Sanctuary ability, “As an action, you present your holy symbol, and a sphere of twilight emanates from you. The sphere is centered on you, has a 30-foot radius, and is filled with dim light.” This means that you can use Steps of Night while you have the sanctuary up.

[@secretlyditto7716]

You guys have taught me more about each subclasses than reading through the subclasses myself lol. Same with like, all of the rules. I DM’d my first campaign session yesterday and even though I wasn’t fully prepared my friends had a lot of fun and so did I :)

[@C3Squared]

I think this is the first time I have heard the Dungeon Dudes say that the A rank is the sweetspot that they want subclasses to be at. That one line just recontextualized this entire video series for me. This whole time I thought they were basically saying if it is not S rank then its not worth playing, where as most of my favorite subclasses kept landing in the A rank. I feel a lot better about my choices I have made in character creation now.

[@killingacamera81]

This (Twilight Domain) is actually the only subclass I won’t let into my game. It is just too much; it gets everything. I feel like one of the writer’s significant others/best friends just kept begging to make something and the writer/designer gave it and said, “go ham!” It is the Superman of cleric subclasses.

[@WearingGoldluck]

I’ve been saying something for awhile that not many people have liked for mainly one reason. I want a 5.5e Players Handbook, one that scales up the power of all of the Players Handbook and Xanathar’s subclasses to be on a level playing field with the new introductions. The main thing that I’ve heard thats against this idea is that they’d rather have 6th edition, to which I would like to point them to the overwhelming success of 3.5 and how it came through and fixed a lot of 3e’s problems. If you’ve any other arguments, let me hear them, but until then, I think that 2022 should bring a 5.5e Players Handbook scaling up a lot of those low tier subclasses to be on par with the better ones.

[@KaitlynBurnellMath]

There's definitely a lot of stuff they could fix. Moon Druid transformations could have a Tasha's style stat block that scales appropriately with level, instead of being unspeakably broken at level 2, and meh at level 8. I'd like to see CHA to weapon attacks (the hexblade ability) be turned into a warlock invocation that any warlock can take at level 2, so that gish builds have more than one available subclass.

[@justhutz2626]

A good quote from the Witcher for the Peace Domain Cleric: "If it's peace you desire, prepare for war."

[@cthulwho8197]

"Si vis pacem, para bellum" is adapted from "Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum" ("Therefore let him who desires peace prepare for war") found in 4th century Latin writings. But the basic idea dates back to earlier works by not only Plato, and also some Chinese authors. 😁

[@TainakaRicchan]

Twilight Sanctuary is simply broken, there is no way around it. It basically invalidates all (other) healing and temp hp gaining powers. And since it comes back at short rest and you get two of these early, you can drop it in basically every battle. This trivilaizes any combat from a recource conservation standpoint. It woudl still be S tier, if it would be 1d6+Profiency modifier.

[@Observer31]

and the temp HP you gain at the end of the fight (which probably is less than 1 minute) are there for the next fight!

[@meikahidenori]

Yes, but you can always buff your monsters and villians. It's easier to buff them to match the party than the otherway around. Sure it's advice that's repeated over and over, but it's the easiest way to rebalance an encounter.

[@noahmehringer29]

Circle of the Shepard Druids can do this with their Auras with use Wildshape (also a short rest recharge, and they get empowered healing). Hex-Blades and Vengeance Paladins can also be busted but everyone still wants to play them. Buff your villains, monsters or even throw in environmental effects to challenge the players and use the Twilight cleric as a safety blanket so the Party never feels totally overwhelmed but still might face a challenge. Crank out the high CR monsters and just have fun with it. I'm sure your players will love fighting a Nightwalker at level 8-9 and come out alive but bruised and be like "That was awesome!"

[@GP-zr2zv]

you can also legit just incapacitate the cleric and twilight sanctuary gone

[@gaberobison680]

Also at low levels you have to group up the party so drop AoE spells

[@bebotime2941]

I played a unity domain cleric back when that was the hot new UA subclass and it was probably one of my favorite subclasses ever. However, having said that, my favorite character that I've played in recent memory is a reprise of that character with the new Peace Domain. Specifically, this character is a Kalashtar Peace Cleric whose deity is a homebrew one inspired by the first campaign party I ever DMed for. The different tenets of the religion and the aspects of the deity itself were inspired by the different personality traits and aspects of the five party members. While there is a more twilight, starry, and overall space-y theme to the deity and the character, they ultimately represent unity under one giant banner: the night sky. While this sounds childish, I would have been genuinely upset if Peace as a domain got anything less than an S, not only because the abilities are incredibly powerful, but because of the incredible memories I've had playing this character for as long as I have.

[@nojusticenetwork9309]

Since Tasha's release, I've been sitting back and seeing people's thoughts on everything and how powerful certain subclasses are as a result of it. While I can certainly agree that the Power Creep ceiling is being raised with these new additions I don't know if I'm willing to say if this makes encounter building harder as a DM. Personally, these newer subclasses have given me a reason to bust out things I've never even touched prior to Tasha's. More obscure monsters, rarely considered rules and mechanics. It's actually helped me improve as a DM all around to have to more or less cobtend with newer and more powerful player options and I've found encounter building wasn't made any harder in most aspects.

[@noahmehringer29]

I feel like you've nailed exactly what I feel. The DM always has more power at their disposal then the players. There are so any monsters in the DMG, Volo's and Mordenkainen's that never get used because they're overpowered for most parties. But now, a DM can drop one in and watch their players triumph with a challenge. If a DM makes their players feel like champions, I feel like they've done their duty and then some.

[@tarinindell8217]

I really think it would be healthy to go through all of the additional subclasses introduced in Tasha's as well as all the little weird stuff that bumps one subclass over another, and then afterwards do a rapid fire tierlist for each class again and adjust as needed. I really do think its needed. Some previous A and S tiers just dont even make sense anymore, when considering them in the light of these new goodies.

[@conmore1]

The peace domain is my fav. 2d4 bonus (+5) trivializes combat. It's similar to giving anyone in your party expertise in any roll they make

[@Rp3cial]

I have been playing twilight cleric in my campaign for the last few months and have LOVED every aspect of the subclass but what really made it feel overpowered for me was when I popped by channel divinity and had aura of vitality going at the same time and after that turn was able too keep everyone alive and healthy while standing in the center of the party throwing out toll the dead and guiding bolts finishing the encounter will the entire party at full health and this was at 6th level. This wasn't a class I chose because I thought it would be this strong, it just felt really cool and I loved the idea of the 300y dark vision.

[@demiurge2763]

An interesting way to justify the Peace Cleric murdering everything in their path would be to take inspiration from Danzo from Naruto Shippuden. Maintaining peace from the shadows and killing those would threaten that peace.

[@FalCorianHojasanta]

It's the pretty classic concept of "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum” ; If you want peace, be prepared for war.

[@benjaminmonard1343]

As an older player, I think that the publishers recognized that most people in 3.5 did not enjoy playing a cleric and so they went and made clerics in 5e WAY better, and conversely since everyone played Rangers 5e really made the Ranger a niche class to play. I totally agree with the end statement that compared with other classes, most, if not all, cleric classes would be in that A tier. Like Jo Cat said, you can have a part of all clerics called A-Men and none of them would be the same cleric. Excellent explanations, great analysis, thanks for sharing Dungeon Dudes.

[@jacobnavarro3675]

I've always kinda assumed that for really OP subclasses, the C and D ranks from the community are from people rating it bad because of the power level. There's also trolls but I feel like it's mostly the former. So I just lump them in with the S tier ratings.

The peace domain is broken if you really really play into the shenanigans. You could buy chickens and give them the bond, and then make them teleport to take the damage for you.

You basically get to avoid a number of attacks equal to your proficiency modifier per chicken, per casting of this ability.

Oooh, I've been waiting for this one. I've heard plenty of people that these are so good, they should be banned. Now I want to hear what you have to say about them.

[@evanboeckh5033]

Pro tip to piss off your DM: Invisible creatures aren't automatically hidden, they only gain the benefits of being an unseen attacker (advantage on attacks against you and disadvantage on attacks against it) but doesn't get to hide their location from the players. If it wanted to actually conceal it's location so you wouldn't know where it is it would still need to take the hide action like everybody else or break line of sight, until they do that though they are just as easy to target with an AOE effect like faerie fire as a visible creature.
