You guys should also at some point consider reviewing the subclasses in Ryoko’s guide to the Yokai Realms! I know it’s not officially by WOTC but it’s not only made by a fellow dnd content creator, but it was the largest funded dnd kickstarter ever. It has some really sick stuff in it!

My girlfriend is playing a blood druid at our table, and it's great. She's been making great use of starting off with a big sangrimancy spell, then Wither and Bloom, while using her reaction to hand out temporary health on enemy deaths. The mix of offense and support feels really impactful, and right on theme. And our fighter definitely isn't complaining about Rite!

Currently have a Circle of Mutation Druid at my table. The Fighter rides the Flying, Enlarged, Giant Constrictor Snake into battle regularly. If anything, it’s definitely give the wildshape-focused Druid more use for their spell slots and allows them to continue throughout the adventuring day a little longer because they’ll mutate and spend their remaining slots on keeping the party stable between fights. Powerful, but not overbearing.

One of my players is playing a mutation druid and its felt fine and the table has found it pretty fun, not unbalanced. I've found that it encourages not always picking the same animal to wildshape into, since you can pick something more "fun" but still be effective through mutations. As a DM its also provided a fun area for homebrew by thinking of other mutation options to add. For example, we're starting to experiment with mutations that would allow for what are normally special abilities for specific beasts (swallow, spider climb, etc.) since it seems right in line with the flavor of the subclass.

I actually love to see niche spells in extended spell lists, specially for classes that already have a great one, such as clerics, because you don't need to worry about preparing them, so you can prepare the amazing S tier spells and still have room for niche ocasions, the inquisition cleric in specific has an awesome spell list for out of combat investigation and disruption AND it's very thematic, points for flavor, S-tier

I've played with the mutation druid, and it's not broken for the simple reason that you can counter it by having the enemy polymorph into something stronger than the base form. The druid then can use mutations to give themself modifications that let them win, so it is a fun tactical challenge for the player. We had fun.

I would say the major fixes to make the inquisitor cleric good would be: 1) Add absorb elements to their spell list, this would add to their channel divinity when they use it on themselves, turning them into a real cool elemental juggernaut. 2) Add counter spell to their list, making it so that their 6th level feature triggers whenever they successfully counter spell, this to me makes for a really cool mage hunter vibe, both shutting out spells and then further damaging the opponent. 3) I would do a reverse Yuan-Ti on it, so that it's channel divinity works both on spells and magical effects, this makes it a ton less situational. And Optional Crazy Ideas: 4) Maybe at 17th level you could buff both the channel divinity and it's counterspell, so it steals spells from enemies for a one time use when they counter spell them, kinda like the arcane trickster's spell thief feature. Just a few ideas if anyone thinks they work. Idk how to do it but I also think some kind of spirit guardians mixed with anti magic field could be a cool 17th level feature.

I have been playing the Eldritch Cleric for a year now, lvl 1-8. I have to say I don't often use the subclass spells, but it is super fun to have spells such as see invisibility and detect thoughts because they are great to have in your back pocket. For me, what feels most restrictive is all the prerequisites for the Eldritch effects. The idea of having a separate table when targeting allies would be awesome. Right now what happens is 1. Use a levelled spell (low levels you don't have so many, and now a cantrip is stronger than a guiding bolt). 2. Target an enemy (so it doesn't trigger when you cast healing word, aid, bless etc etc). So you have to adapt your spell selection. 3. Spend a bonus action (so don't use spiritual weapon) 4. Then they need to fail their save 5. Then you hope you roll a useful effect (so many silenced wolves etc whahahah. But some effects are super strong which is fun). 6. Then they get to re-save every turn. It does feel like I give up on a lot of options, in order to hopefully have something happen. When it works out it can be fantastic. So I like the risk, I love the reckless being there because that can potentially really screw you up. But an extra table for when you buff allies, or a larger table and then maybe getting to roll 2 dice like the WM Sorc at some point, would be fun. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on that.

Circle of blood makes me think of a potentially fun idea for something I might homebrew. A blight themed druid, it's an interesting perversion of the stereotypical druid tropes. I already have some fun ideas like adding a fluff feature at each level to show the idea of being corrupted by the magic. The actual features I have in mind come down to the idea of the blood boon as said here but since I don't want to base it off sangromancy I'd go with: -you gain extra hit dice when creatures within 30ft die you gain a hit dice (not from plants or constructs) excess hitdice can exceed your current max hit dice by an amount equal to half your druid level. -you can upcast spells by spending hit dice equal to the level of the spell. -you can choose a plant creature with a stat block and spend a number of hitdice equal to that creature's cr (minimum of one) I'm not sure what else to add, I like the idea of having you spawn a twig blight when you longest, it would serve your orders, share your combat turn, and I may make it so this comes early to mid with you getting the ability to summon up to x cr worth of blights and or spend hit-dice on a rest to create additional blights. It's rough, and not looked at too thoroughly through a balance perspective. I'm working on ideas, what I want it to do, and then from there I'm planning on buffing and nerfing it as needed.

Hello Dungeon Dudes! I DM'd for a campaign taking place in Etharis (the Grim Hollow world) and I had a Circle of Mutation Druid at the table. The player leaned into charisma and basically played the class like a movie Horror monster. Describing in gruesome detail the horrifying creatures he mutated into and ambushing enemies, scaring the crap out of em. It was a really cool concept for a character and all of us at the table had a blast with it! I think in terms of power it feels equivalent (if not a bit stronger) then Moon Druid at early levels. The lack of elemental wild shape does kinda hurt the late game and I'm not sure it QUITE keeps up with Moon Druid in the late game. That being said, the flavor is great and I never really liked the flavor of Moon druids turning into Elementals. I get the concept, but the Circle of Mutation feels more appropriately primal, and horrifying.

So I was running a Grim-hollow-esque campaign, but on the Sword Coast. I didn't have a blood druid in the campaign, however I DID have an enemy druid that they had to fight, who functioned as a boss before a puzzle encounter. He was scaled to the party, so I gave him the abilities of an 8th level Blood druid. Between him and his giant direwolf companions (who were corrupted with the dark magic present in this campaign, so everything had a touch of chaos to it), he put up a damn good challenge to the party. There isn't anything in your subclass I would be concerned with or feel I couldn't still challenge as DM, and it was fun to run an NPC based on this subclass. I absolutely want to play one at a table!

I feel like a blood Druid and undead warlock multi class would be so cool. I'm not sure how powerful it would be or how the abilities would work together, but imagine being able to turn yourself into the giant flying poison bear followed up by using form of dread to gain even more health, even MORE ability to frighten enemies, and the story/theming potential would be insane. A giant bear appears behind the opposing cultists, bone-like wings sprouting from its shoulder blades, tearing skin as they grow. The face begins to distort as its eyes turn inky black, blood seeping out, and its flesh begins to appear rotten and decayed. Poison begins to drip from its enlarging fangs as it lets out an echo-locative shriek, ensuring that no one can hide; not for long at least.

(Context: Inquisitor Domain) In many campaigns I've run/been in or around, goblin/kobold shamans are a common trope for "mid tier" minions in early encounters. In general, atleast 1 combat encounter per session will have 1-2 casters. Each of which will have 1 area/control spell, a cantrip, and 1-2 uses of a utility/support spell. It helps spice up combat without overwhelming players. Depending on how things have been going, the goblin shaman may have just found a magic stick it can somewhat use... or it could be a witch's aprentice who's been cursed. The former may run in and accidently misfire their fireball at their feet, still catching a couple members of the party before "defusing" itself. The latter may cloak the field in fog to enhance a planed ambush with a vortex warp. This is ofc just my experience, and an awfully long rant certainly not inspired by the use of any substances. All to say that in a campaign with the encounters I described, this subclass would easily be an S. Which is why personally I'd put it at B, however I can understand why other's may see differently.

To fix the spellcasting issue for Eldritch domain cleric, if you find the SRD spell list limiting, then turn the extra spells into a feature that says something along the lines of “at 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level, choose 2 additional spells from the warlock spell list to prepare. These spells don’t count against the number of cleric spells you can prepare”

I would personally rule the 6th level inquisition domain feature forces a concentration saving throw or the spell is lost. The damage is low enough that most spell casters worth their salt are gonna be able to pass it most of the time (especially if they pass the initial saving throw on the effect) but giving the possibility of actually interrupting a spell feels very on brand for the theme and feels like it'd be more fun to use as a player (I also think thematically it'd work better as a paladin subclass but that'd take a decent bit of reworking lol)

I am a gambler and I like WiodMagic Sorcerer. The about the WM table is that you have some bad effects. One thing should be interest on Eldritch Effects for your cleric subclass is: - on the subsequent turns, the save is rolled with advantage. - it is not optional. For this reason, it dont cost your bonus action AND it does affect your allies (bless, Healing spells). And prevents you of spamming spells and effects. Sounds weird at first but thing about it.

@DungeonDudes I get what you were trying to say when talking about the druid (the anachronism of it all). My take is that D&D combines what games like World of Warcraft separates: the druid and the shaman. Two different things, but for some reason D&D kinda has these two ideas smashed together. The druid has always been more about nature and shaman typically more associated with totems, blood rituals, and the elements themselves (which depending on the mythology you're looking at, blood is an element).

I have a fun idea for the Eldritch Cleric. Empowering Madness: when you cast a spell on an ally that ally can choose to gain a random madness from the madness table. Until madness is cured they are under the effects of the bless spell as eldritch forces guide their actions (though this effect is not magical in nature).

Laserllama rogue gambler subclass exists. One of the really fun things is that both a 7 and a 20 count as crits but both a 13 and a 1 count as a crit miss. It’s a fun subclass to check out.

Honestly from experience, giving a cleric that has potent spellcasting access to attack cantrips is extremely potent. I homebrewed a cleric version of Firebolt on a whim because I always hated sacred flame, and my cleric players would destroy encounters with just that. I shudder to think of them with eldritch blast. It's like having a blaster warlock that also has the full spellcasting utility of a cleric. I feel like B is underselling the Eldritch Domain in a big way.

Omg I’d love to play both Druid subclasses! As a Moon Druid, both have great flavor…mutation one is OP lol

Had a circle of mutations druid for 8 levels that I DMed. We had to make changes lol. For our table we set certain mutations behind level restrictions. (Swim lvl4, fly lvl6, magic attacks lvl6, and i think we locked blindsight behind a level as well but I dont remember.) Our goal was that it would be more equal to the moon druid. It was still very strong.

As a DM if it’s suppose to be a spell like attack I would rule inquisition ability works.

The coolest thing about the eldritch domain cleric is that if you want to play a chaotic aligned religious character, it is the subclass for you.

The idea for Eldtritch domain , instead of just being immune to having your mind read it dose damage to the creature who tired it maybe equal to your proficiency

For the Inquisition domain cleric, that could also be huge for shutting down casters in your own party. In my current game, the party wizard has nearly done as much damage to party members as they have to enemies. If I had an ability to drop temp HP on an ally and ensure they would take minimal damage from friendly caster fire, that would be an amazing choice.

The Mutations Circle is OP cause you're taking the most powerful subclass and adding on it (as you said). At least it should use the normal WildShape table, or mutating breaks your concentration (or provoke conc save).

the inquisitor cleric seems cool and I would totaly love to try playing one as crossbow wielding "van helsing" character hunting down cultists and witches!

I played an Inquisitor Cleric and it was awesome, the only complaint was lack of Counterspell.

I do want to comment on the inquisitor that it's a great concept but I think the design would benefit from a more expanded range - inquisitors in 3.5 weren't just good at nullifying magic, they also had bonuses for dealing with outsider threats like demons, and particularly forcing the truth out of them or negating some of their spell-like abilities that could corrupt or bewitch others. Also, I feel like their ability where they use a reaction to blow up someone casting a spell could give them a disadvantage on their next concentration check

The inquisition cleric is perfect, and I prefer that it didn't have counterspell. Through your faith, you'll weather any magic a heretic will throw at you, and then charge right up anyway and put a Mace into the face of said heretic. I love it.
