When you play a forge cleric, constantly miss on attack roll spells and you're about to bin the whole thing. Then, you crit on a 3rd level inflict wounds and roll roughly 40 some odd damage.

So what happened next was the moment I dealt almost a hundred damage and FRIED this warlord we were fighting. Barbarian had been in a slugfest with the guy for several rounds and I just taze the guy to death. Favorite moment for my holy boi. owo

That's the secret behind most game design. If you don't give players some compelling incentive to play the designated healer you can't complain when 95% of the player base abandons the class 5 seconds after the first boss monster shouts "Focus fire the healer!" to all his minions. They're OP so that even novice players can survive a few big hits long enough to keep the party alive, and they have more options so that cleric players don't get the "Oh, are you just gonna keep casting that one spell over and over?" complaints that warlocks get.

I'm currently playing as a Mountain Dwarf Cleric with Life Domain. Because of his race, he's proficient in Heavy Armor and with Warhammers. So because of a fluke that gave him a ton of gold after an earlier quest, he's got plate armor, a Warhammer in his right hand, and a shield in his left hand with his holy symbol emblazoned upon it, making it his Holy Focus. His Strength and Constitution are 20, and his Wisdom is 18 (I got insanely lucky on my rolls, but my Dex and Int is lower). His total AC is now 20 at level 3. In the last encounter I had, he was surrounded in a circle by 8 cultists, and he killed every single one of them, somehow only taking 1 point of damage (out of his maximum 33 HP) ULFGAR FROSTBEARD IS THE HEALING TANK OF THE PARTY.

Cleric spells work like this: -You know all the cleric spells -Whenever you take a long rest you can pick a number of spells equal to your wisdom modifier plus your level -The spells you picked are the only spells you can cast till you take another long rest So, why is that really hard to understand you just have to pick a set number of spells every time you take a long rest, and only cast those spells till you take another long rest?

[@NobodyDungeons]

For example your an 8th level cleric you have a 20 in wisdom, so your wisdom modifier is 5. The number of spells you can cast per day then is 5+8=13 with the 5 being your wisdom modifier and the 8 being your characters level; so, choose 13 spells you want to use, and only use those spells. That isn't very hard if you ask me in fact its super easy since unlike the wizard you know all of your spells right off the bat so you just need to look and see I can use spells up to X level so I can choose any spells of X level from the whole cleric spell list so just have a list of every single cleric spell and boom

[@davidphillips-zee1083]

Zeter Zero Wizards have a more complicated and “newb unfriendly” design than Clerics when it comes to spells. Wizards have to pick their spells as they level to add to their spell book, then prepare their spells from their book whenever they long rest. A Cleric who makes a “bad choice” of a spell should be able to realize it fairly quickly and change it when next they long rest. If a new Wizard picks a “bad spell” then hey, guess who’ll always have Ray of Sickness in their spell book. Causing them to potentially lose out on more universal picks such as Mage Armor or Shield(or sacrifice higher level spell acquisitions to add those). In general, Clerics(and other strict “preparers”) are probably the most newb friendly because of that very feature. Every class with spell casting has to pick spells at some point. Clerics are the most forgiving about it and have some of the least spells to choose from(at least compared to other full casters).

How to play cleric: Keep a mental note of how many spells you can prepare per day. Whenever you need to cast a spell, just petend that you totally prepared the spell beforehand. As long as the number of different spells you cast in a single day doesn't exceed the numer of spells you can prepare, the DM will be none the wiser.

Something I recently realized: every single Cleric spell has a verbal component. A single casting of Silence on them or gagging them suddenly renders their spells useless. I almost wonder if they did it for flavor of needing to speak holy hymns kinda like how Miracles work in Dark Souls. Regardless, just thought I'd share weird discoveries I found

But if your Cleric is a High Elf then they could theoretically have a Cantrip that doesn't require Verbal Components.

“The cool ones are the ones that are less normal” See, I’m sitting here with the complete opposite perspective - all of my players only ever want to use the wackiest most non-standard stuff. Am I the only one who appreciates the classics? Don’t get me wrong, breaking from tropes is good to do sometimes, but when being special or different defines your entire goal in character design you miss out on what makes those fantasies so engaging and enduringly popular in the first place. So just like human fighters can be way cooler than players think, so can a classic lawful-good life cleric. Just make sure to give them a proper character on top of it.

Sure, the different characters can be fun. You know what I like? Imitating my favorite scenes from movies. You know what one of those scenes is? Aragorn vs pretty much the entire Orc nation in Fellowship. Viggo had this Zen look on his face as he faced down about fifty Orcs. Yeah...sometimes the cool Anime scene or the great movie FX are cool but sometimes you just want to hit things with other things.

Basically, anyone can connect to the weave, but you must understand that thread inside and out, as well as how it connects to you. Since it's rare people can actually make this connection, some make it half way, giving them the class features but no magic. They gain magic through using the body parts of magic creatures as material components. It just lets me use a bunch of cool materials for my spells.

[@janelantestaverde2018]

Hey Jacob, I recently realized how your rating of difficulty for each class aligns with the fact of how much of the player's handbook you need to know or at least look into for that class. While every character needs to look up their race, class and background and how combat works, spellcasters need the entire chapter of magic in addition to that. And while classes that only get non-preparation spellcasting don't need detailed knowledge of all spells of their class, druids, wizards and clerics, technically need to know all their spells. However, clerics and druids, in contrast to wizards, _also_ require appendix B for the gods / D for all the beasts they might turn into. Among the non-spellcasters, on the other hand, who already need way less of the book the one class that requires the least amount of chapters is in fact the monk who, unlike any other class, doesn't even need to comprehend the armor/weapons section. I found this very interesting. I don't want to start a discussion or anything, though, it's just supposed to be a neat little sidenote that happened to align with what you said. A truly epic ending to a series of videos that I have watched way too often by now because I *really* enjoy your kind of humour.

[@VimyGlide]

7:04 i love this laugh. it is the laugh of realizing the joke you just made is incredibly scuffed. it is a good laugh.

[@Greywander87]

I'd actually recommend a cleric for new players wanting to try a caster, for the following reasons: Medium armor and shields Simple weapons Decent HP Doesn't get stuck with bad spell choices Doesn't need to futz around with a spellbook Druids have to manage Wild Shape, which can be a nightmare for inexperienced players/DMs. Wizards have the largest spell list, and players might find needing to choose spells for their spellbook _and_ choose spells to prepare to be a bit too much. Sorcerers can get stuck with bad spells, although a lenient DM might let you pick an entirely new set if you're not happy with what you have. Ditto for bards. Basically it comes down to a lot of the other full caster classes being a lot more squishy and having other features that make them get a lot more complicated. Warlock is an interesting one, and I don't think it really qualifies as a caster in the same way as other caster classes. Honestly, the warlock feels like someone built a caster class using the martial class guidelines. Might have something to do with being a short rest class, as most martials are.
