Crypt of Knowledge
Episode 25 - One D&D: Clerics and Species
Wizards has once again released an Unearthed Arcana for One D&D to playtest. Instead of giving us three classes to dissect, they've narrowed it down to just one: the cleric. The original 5E cleric was already a pretty well balanced class, but they're changing things to keep it more in-line with other classes. We'll look at why they moved the cleric's subclass to 3rd level and what small adjustments were made to the Life Domain subclass. Then we'll dive into the controversy surrounding some major spell changes and the switch from race to species. All that and more, on this episode of the Crypt of Knowledge!
