[QUOTE="MechaTarrasque, post: 9694017, member: 6801226"] First, let me say that Enchanting Talker is the best thing I have read in a wizard UA in a looong time. I feel a little hypocritical about not being awed by Arcana Domain Cleric, since it does check all the boxes for things I like in domains, but let's just do a little thought experiment. Picture an Arcana Domain priest that wasn't a PC. What would a God of Magic who is trying to have more (and better) wizards, bards, sorcerers, and warlocks want the priest to do? And what kind of abilities would support that? Now, how many of those abilities does the Arcana Domain Cleric get? If your answer is none, you and I are in agreement. It would be like having a Love Domain Cleric that is justified because they can cast calm emotion. The whole subclass doesn't need to be "spellcaster support warlord", but even a "when you heal someone who can cast spells, you recharge one of their spell slots of level 2 or less" would go a long way here. I also miss the minion for the hexblade. In addition to swarms for necromancers and conjurers, I could see walls of ghoul flesh or bones or a pit where demons grab anyone who comes too close and they finally climb out 1 round per level of the spell, taking X damage each round as fitting. I don't see the 100 skeleton army coming back no matter how much some people like it. I was thinking of early Naruto for the monk (totally forgot about Iron Fist) in the sense that there are ninja fights where some magic is happening, but the fight really ends when someone hits someone else with a throwing knife (or a bunch of them). I like the idea, but I think it would work better if it was more like the eldritch knight and was just a monk who was a third caster. If they need something especially monkish, the monk could use an unarmed strike to deliver touch spells. [/QUOTE]
