Darkvision is a circumstantial benefit. The other benefits were rarely used. Our group has always found clerics in 2014 to be a bit meh. So this ability for us just redressed the balance. That said the player is a pretty reasonable guy who does spam the most power spells. He spent a lot of time protecting the rest of the party and letting them excel and shine.In short it depends on your group style, party mix, and DMs adventure structure. I’m pretty ban-happy (rope trick, tiny hut, lucky feat, silvery barbs etc) but I don’t feel the need to ban or modify this. Might feel differently in different circumstances.</blockquote>
