The general idea is nothing special, it's supposed to be a cleric that heals as much as kills (magically), and connects with otherworldly spirits. I am looking at the Life Domain (2014 PHB), Death Domain (2014 DMG) and Grave Domain (XGtE). Their narrative descriptions don't matter much, as they will be superseded with the character's own, so I am focusing on the mechanical benefits provided. Whichever domain I choose, the Cleric base class spells can provide balancing options, so all three seems viable and that's why I am undecided.Here's some additional constraints given by the DM:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">character level is 3, and unlikely to increase since this is a 2-evenings xmas game (so unfortunately this means no Speak with Dead which would have been an obvious choice)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">race is human or dwarf</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">standard point-buy for ability scores</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">fantasy setting not announced (it might be vanilla)</li> </ul>Which domain would you choose to build this PC around and why?Feel free to also suggest specific spells and other additions.</blockquote>
