[QUOTE="Guest User, post: 8178507"] That is actually one area of the rules in general that I think fails from a simulation perspective. An Eldritch Canon can literally look a xenomorph "Face Hugger" from the Aliens movies, and move independently from an Artillerist...but for some gamist reason one can't target one with an Acid Splash? In regards to Twilight clerics, based off memory, every D&D edition that has 'speciality priests' has had an overpowered 'Twilight Cleric'. [I]Both the Twilight and Peace Clerics in 5e are extremely overturned.[/I] A Twilight Cleric gets Heavy Armor, Martial Weapons, shareable 300' Darkvision, and Advantage on Initiative checks, and access to Cleric Spells all from a single level dip. The Domain Spell list for the Twilight Cleric is extremely good. Twilight Sanctuary doesn't require Concentration, yet Invoke Duplicity does. Twilight Sanctuary combines the best aspects of Aura of Vitality, and Calm Emotions, and one can combine this Channel Divinity power simultaneously with Spirit Guardians! ([I]This combo is a fairly close analog to having 3 Concentration spells up at once[/I]) A Twilight Cleric has a big red "S" under their armor! Compared to the Twilight cleric, every other cleric domain, (outside of Peace), is the super hero equivalent of the Mcdonald's Character of Grimace. Sorry, but the Twilight cleric is not a fair point to start a comparison, just as the Simulacrum spell is not a fair standard to hold other 7th level spells up to. TCoE, for clerics is the quintessential exemplar of '[I]Power Creep[/I]'. [/QUOTE]
