[QUOTE="Esker, post: 7843562, member: 6966824"] Thanks for this [USER=6716779]@Zardnaar[/USER]! A couple of things I noticed (only skimmed a few so far): About the arcana cleric, you say "This cleric makes a fairly decent primary spellcaster and has potential in melee combat due to being able to pick up spells like booming blade and greenflame blade and keying them off wisdom." I assume you're referring to the GFB secondary damage which is equal to your casting modifier here. But booming blade doesn't use the casting stat at all; and both still require STR or DEX (depending on weapon) to hit. The way it's written makes it sound like the arcana cleric can make attack rolls using Wisdom like with Shillelagh, which isn't the case, so might be helpful to clarify to avoid misleading readers. About Circle of Dreams Druid, you say "The spirits lean heavily into the support type role, extra hit points, advantage on attack rolls (its better than faerie fire no save+ other stuff)" It's worth noting though that the piece of the hawk aura that grants advantage uses the druid's reaction, so although it's true that there's no save, it only works for one attack per round. So I definitely think the effect is weaker than Faerie Fire; though the fact that it doesn't use concentration is lovely. If you have a rogue ally, it could be very nice. [/QUOTE]
