Life Cleric Bug

If you’re building a Cleric and pick the Life Domain at level 3, you don’t get Aid as an always prepared spell. Not sure if anyone else has this issue, but it happened for me when I was trying to craft a character.

Tested and can confirm.

I also have built a life cleric and when prompted to choose spells I was given the choice of two identical 'Aid' spells, but neither read as " Always Prepared."

same here its a bit frustrating, hopefully it is fixed soon

Interestingly, a few days ago I noticed my Light Cleric had Aid added to their ‘always prepared’ list. Seems like someone behind the scenes typoed Life to Light.

I have another bug I encountered yesterday. I'm new to D&D Beyond and tried to build a level 1 Cleric (https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/133735145).

According to the rules I should be able to prepare 4 level 1 speels and 3 cantrips (https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/2190877-cleric). 

But I can only prepare 3 level 1 spells (with 2 being occupied by the always prepared "Bless" and "Cure Wounds" spells).

Can anyone confirm this?

Cheers,

Not a bug, you just did not understand the rules.

A cleric prepares a number of spells equal to their Cleric level + their Wisdom modifier. They will also have their Domain Spells always prepared in addition to this.

Your Wisdom is 11 so your Wisdom modifier is +0 (weird choice to use the most important cleric stat as a dump stat, but you do you). As a level 1 cleric you will prepare 1 + 0 spells, or 1 spell, and you chose Guiding Bolt (which will suck because you dumped your casting stat). You also have Bless and Cure Wounds prepared because these are your Domain Spells as a Life Domain cleric.

You really need to re-read the Cleric's spellcasting feature.

Can confirm. Looks like they just tied Aid to the Light domain instead of Life.

Thank you for the clarification. I indeed seem to have mixed up the different version of rules. As I said, I'm new to D&D in gerneral and we just completed the "Start set campaign" where I played the pre created cleric. 

Now we bought the players handbook and it seems to have the 2014 rules. So I need to adapt and change the character.

Thanks for your feedback. As someone else pointed out I mixed up the 2014 and current rules. 

As for the Wisdom stat I was under the impression that the leading stat would be charisma. But obviously I wrong here to. I need to read up a lot in this regards. 

Thanks for all the hints and heads up in this case.
