[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9401040, member: 6801228"] Haven't had a chance to playtest the other domains. Last I saw, Life hadn't been changed much at all, which worries me, but they could be carried by the new healing spells. In the Playtest, Trickery could use their Channel Divinity as a bonus action, and got multiple benefits: [LIST] [*]When you created your illusory double, and as a bonus action on each of your turns, you could teleport as a bonus action, switching places with your duplicate. This is after you move the illusion with a bonus action as well. [*]You can cast through your duplicate, but must use your own senses. [*]Standing next to your duplicate grants you advantage on attack rolls. [/LIST] The change in the 2024 PHB is that the teleportation aspect of the lv 3 ability is being moved to level 6. Which, to be fair, I have used my duplicate for teleportation much more than for the advantage on attacks, so it makes sense. I will also say, I have yet to find a use for Divine Spark. The damage is too low to be worth it, compared to just casting a damaging spell. The healing is worse than Cure Wounds, better than Healing Word, and while it is at a distance, it is an action. I suspect that it will be a rarely used ability, simply because most other channel divinities in the 2024 book are better uses for the resource. But, in theory, if I was ever in a situation to take a short rest while not missing any, I could see using it before getting it back for a bit of spot healing. Other than that, the ability to use Blessing on myself has been useful for letting my character take the role of rogue, alongside invisibility and pass without a trace. Which was useful as our group didn't have a stealth specialist. We have only made it to level 5 though, so I never got to test out more. [/QUOTE]
