Interesting that these two are definitely the only two new "evil" PC options in the DMG. It makes sense that this death domain, designed for NPCs, focuses on damage rather than raising undead, much like the oathbreaker's aura only affecting demons and undead.

It makes sense that neither have much utility and focus solely on combat capabilities since they're supposed to be for NPCs. But I must say I am a little unimpressed with the death domain. The features to me feel quite generic, with the only thing relating them to their respective themes being flavor text and damage types. It doesn't even have any interactions with undead apart from domain spells that are for the most part already on the cleric spell list.
Well, it seems that the hordes of undead minions stuff is now more of a necromancer than a cleric thing.
I'm actually not getting why the heck this option (death cleric) is in the DMG. It seems that they have made it more generic and less undead focused to accommodate a larger number of death or death-oriented deities. You could replace animate dead with some other spell and you can get a cleric of Kelemvor or Raven Queen.

That five-foot limit on those Death domain abilities seems really harsh :-/
