[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 8864282, member: 28487"] So the 5.5 cleric has as class features: Channel Divinity, Spellcasting, Holy Orders, Cleric Subclass (features), Feat, Smite Undead, Blessed Strikes, Divine Intervention( and Greater D.V.), and Epic Boon. The 5.1 Cleric has Spellcasting, Divine Domain, Channel Divinity, ASI/Feat, Destroy Undead, Divine Intervention, and Divine Intervention Improvement. Now you cannot copywrite (Not a Lawyer) mechanics but only the expression of those mechanics. This gives some leeway. The Cleric Subclass is the replacement for Divine Domain and I do not see why you are prevented for inventing your own Divine Domains that match the structure of the 5.5 subclasses. That is what Solasta has done with 5.1 where the reproduce the base 5.1 subclasses and then add a whole bunch of new ones that follow that pattern but are not mechanically identical to any other existing WoTC subclass. You need a replacement for Holy Orders, Smite Undead, Blessed Strikes and Epic Boon appears in the DMG not sure about it being in the SRD. Smite Undead actually exists in the SRD but under Channel Divinity and Blessed Strikes are in there as Domain features. That leaves Holy Orders, again you could cover it as a new class feature or Domain features. It is kind of there already as Domain features as far as I remember. What did I miss? People that do this for a living please comment. [/QUOTE]
