Cleric Light Domain Build

Keeping with the theme of light and heat the light cleric specialises in fire damage spells to complement their divine arsenal.

Cleric light domain build.

Clerics have more access to radiant damage than any other class in the game and after writing my cleric spell list breakdown i really wanted to see how far i could get on a build centered mostly on radiant damage. Monks can handle themselves in melee almost as well as fighters but are at a severe disadvantage when it comes to ranged attacks. The light domain gives numerous bonus spells that are ranged damage spells. This type of cleric domain has the radiance of the gods at their back and are paragons of renewal.

Light domain gods of light including helm lathander pholtus branchala the silver flame belenus apollo and re horakhty promote the ideals of rebirth and renewal truth vigilance and beauty often using the symbol of the sun. As an additional option included in the player s handbook the light domain is one of the stronger domain choices for damage dealing clerics. They get some strong domain spells both with damage and information gathering. The fact that the light domain is almost entirely based around spellcasting as opposed to war or tempest clerics that smash people with hammers as much as they heal means that there s no hesitation over what we should max out first.

5 the light cleric monk this is a great way to make a monk a multi purpose character. What you lack in single target damage you make up for in crowd control and the ability to handle waves of minion. Gods often have control over multiple domains. Because the light domain does that plus fire damage i figured that restricting the build to those two damage types would be an interesting character both mechanically and conceptually and i wanted to share the results.
