I like not having every decision about my character be set in stone at level 1. And I love new players not having to make one more major and consequential decision about their character at level 1.
Just limit what you get from the subclass at 1st level.How? How do you extend that to subclass if it's not your first class, if you intend to continue in that second class and gain abilities which modify that first level subclass ability? It would wreck the entire design scheme of subclasses and force them to modify the first level subclass ability to be something that isn't modified by a later one.
I definitely don't think clerics have any particular reason to get level 1 subclasses. 5e is so loose about the link of cleric domain to deity, that there's just no reason they can't pick it later.I don't even think clerics should get their subclass at lvl 1. Make them prove themselves to their deity a bit first.
The Group is chosen at level 1, the subclas At level 3, and the class at level 5!We need to galaxy brained on this.
You choose your subclass at first level.
But you don’t choose your class until third level.
