You Might Be a Twilight Domain Cleric | Cleric Subclass Guide for DND 5e

A Twilight Cleric and a Paladin walk into a bar... Seriously, once the auras start coming online, with heavy armor and shields, an Assassin Rogue for Sneak Attack madness and a Wizard for AoE spell funsies and you have a party that Bards will sing about for ages!

[@adriel8498]

Even better if wizard is an evoker so can burst even around the allies

[@kristinalawson6190]

The aura doesn’t just give 1d6 temporary hit points, it gives 1d6 + your cleric level temporary hit points

[@valbroderick8156]

There are two separate versions of the subclass, so technically both are accurate.

[@luciusvoldaren]

A lot of people are forgetting to mention that twilight sanctuary makes DIM LIGHT. So as long as you have it up, you don’t have to be in the dark to fly, you can use the flight ability anytime your Twilight Sanctuary is active.

Flavor wise I like the idea of a Twilight Cleric and circle of stars druid multiclass. It seems, thematically very cool. Don't know how good it would be in practice but since they are both wisdom casters I don't see why it couldn't work.

[@PaintballaJkilla]

it could work if your Dm lets you get around the Whole metal thing with bone and what not. otherwise druid metal ick is a bummer. I have a Dwarven life cleric who is gonna dip 2 lvls in Wildfire druid. he's letting me forge Dwarven Bone plate to get around it. that way i can teleport my single brain celled party to me for healing who like to run off on their own.

[@wwade7226]

A couple of notes. Twilight Sanctuary distributes 1d6 plus your Cleric Level in Temp HP, not just 1d6. Also, if you are concentrating on Greater Invisibility then cast Banishment, you will then lose concentration on Greater Invisibility - use with caution.

[@Nimaes45173]

Unless you set up glyph of warding with greater invis. Then it doesn't have concentration. Also meaning you can cast spirit guardian and fly around the room like a fucking nightmare for a minute

[@feartheviolet5348]

I recently finished playing a campaign as a Twilight Cleric and holy wow as someone who loves support builds, it was definitely a great feeling to be able to keep my party safe even when our dm understandably adjusted our encounters to still challenge our party of very powerful subclasses lol Twilight Sanctuary is even better than what was mentioned in the video since it also adds your Cleric level to temp hp rolls so I was sometimes giving a whole 12 extra temp hp to some allies simply by being near them

[@ISAACcookie]

yea it makes balancing encounters almost impossible for DMs. reducing the temp hp it gives out is honestly easier than trying to play around it, still an incredible subclass.

[@anjelica948]

I’d love to see you break down any of the Monk classes- they never get enough love. Love your vids by the way, fast, easy to understand, and funny as hell. Excellent work.

20+ year dm that wastes way too much time on youtube offering feedback on your first video I've seen: one of THE best balances of information and humor I've ever seen. I really have no constructive criticism I could offer, and I usually would. Subbed and looking forward to more.

[@Ndnfosho]

As someone who hasnt actually played dnd, but enjoy alot of dnd content critical role and dimension 20 included im always excited to watch your new uploads to help persuade which class i should play if i ever have the opportunity too.

[@kethryverisk4224]

Fun fact with Steps of Night; going by RAW, you only have to be in dim light or darkness when you ACTIVATE it; after that, during the minute, you can fly into bright light and still not lose it.

[@wwade7226]

There is also some debate about whether or not your Twilight Sanctuary, which is filled with dim light, allows you to start your flight in broad daylight/sunlight. The RAW community states that the sanctuary text doesn't block other light, and bright light, in nature, overcomes dim. However, most DMs, at least in my experience, let it fly... Pun intended.

[@TheNewRedOne]

@@wwade7226The thing is, the light from TS is MAGICAL light, which typically overcomes non-magical light. So, you'd be in dim light if you use it, unless someone casts light nearby.

[@Muinko]

​@@TheNewRedOne This is also how I and others have ruled it plus the image of a cleric seeming to dim the light around them as they kick ass is pretty cool and the rule of cool always wins.

[@berkpick]

@6:50 It just needs to be CAST in dim light or darkness. You can totally duck under a picnic table, cast it, and then fly too close to the sun.

[@xalxika]

Favorite character I've played recently was a Shadar-Kai Twilight cleric. Just such cool flavor and the mechanics of the subclass really back the fluff

[@theuncalledfor]

Twilight Clerics are so "strong" because they finally make temp HP/healing _useful._ Healing in combat is completely nonviable, most healing spells are too weak to actually keep a character in the fight for another round and you're better off waiting for them to go down and bringing them up again with a Healing Word. Twilight Sanctuary is seen as OP because it's stronger than other healing/protection abilities, and can actually make a significant difference even at higher levels.

[@ISAACcookie]

the Protector from the Artillerist is a strong but balanced temp HP provider. the twilight cleric however is completly broken and makes balancing encounters a nightmare for DMs.

[@LoreFoundry]

I disagree with the statement "Healing in Combat is completely nonviable"

[@Henbot]

As someone who lived through the Twilight film era, still blows my mind how intense people got about it and boggles the mind it’s success

a Ranger dig? I used to take jabs at ranger too but after the revisions they're pretty good, and I actually think they're basically just straight up better Eldritch Knights. Gloomstalker, Drakewarden, Fey Wanderer. All really great subclasses. Also video 3 of asking for Rune Knight.

[@youmightbeadnd]

Rune knight is coming! Just ribbing on the rangers. They'll get a chance at redemption soon

[@Orcawsom]

@@youmightbeadnd No prob, it just seems to be a popular opinion that they suck but I think they have some very powerful yet overlooked options.

[@Dani_77709]

I played a twilight cleric and it was really fun! I enjoyed my time. Now as for clerics as a whole I think Trickery clerics get the best domain spells (I will fight you). Modify memory, polymorph, dimension door, those spells are incredible.

[@ISAACcookie]

Trickery is one of the best designed cleric subclasses. great spells, nice features and not as overpowered as Peace or Twilight. and don't underestimate Pass without Trace. allowing your team to get a suprise round feels amazing

[@a.z.pantera5577]

So i actually wrote a Twilight Cleric that worships a god of travel who is actually a young Outer God born of eldritch influence who grow to love mortal kind but doesnt know their place in the multiverse. So the Cleric essentially helps this god find their identity and serve others who travel in the night. Showing that darkness is not so scary or inherently evil.

[@mrmastaofdesasta6994]

Best synergy is also that the twilight sanctuary creates an aura of dim light around the cleric. Which means that if it is bright outside, it is still dim inside, meaning that the cleric can still use the flying speed

[@leodouskyron5671]

1) Great class that does something the usual overpowered class doesn’t - it is busted because it helps you help the rest of the party too much. 2)It is a shame that if the DM ever has been on the net or talked to another DM that has read Tasha’s, you will never get to play this class.
