D&D 5E Needing arcana domain clarification please.

[Orthane1970]

If you take the arcane domain as a cleric do you end up with 5 cantrips at 1st lvl? 3 cleric and 2 wizard?

Hi, and welcome to the boards!

The answer to your question is yes!

 

[Orthane1970]

Thank you!

I see the question's been answered. So...

Welcome to EN world. Have some start up XP.

As your DM I don't think so.....I think the rule says for you, these cantrips count as cleric cantrips.

LOL

I think the rule says for you, these cantrips count as cleric cantrips.

I know you were making a joke, but if you look that is the rule, is there a reason for this?

 

[Kobold Stew]

Yes! If they count as Cleric cantrips, the casting stat is Wisdom, and not Intelligence -- that's what makes them different from learning a Wizard cantrip by being a high elf or by taking the Magic Initiate feat.
