I'm concerned about the balance between the Order Domain cleric overshadowing the War Domain cleric is terms of combat leadership. This disparate is best shown between the two domains' 1st level level features (Voice of Authority and War Priest). War Priest allows the cleric to make a single weapon attack as a bonus action after taking the Attack action, whereas Voice of Authority allows the cleric to designate an ally to make a single melee attack as a reaction ever time the cleric casts of spell of 1st level or higher.
I'm concerned that Voice of Authority overshadows War Priest in three main ways:
My question then is whether the War domain's other features make up for this disparity in the two domains' first level ability?
I'm concerned that Voice of Authority overshadows War Priest in three main ways:
- Daily usage (except at very love levels)
- Attack (an extra attack from a GWM barbarian or SA from a rogue will deal much more damage than a similar attack from the cleric him/herself)
- Triggering Action (beyond 7th level, a cleric isn't going to want to use his/her action to make an attack, but certainly will want to spend it casting a spell)
