If someone is playing forge cleric and takes blessed strike option divine strike in the 5.5 build, would they also get the divine strike from their forge class stack? Ie the radient/ necrotic damage and the fire damage?
Upon reflection of comparison to the 5e and 5.5 level lists for subclasses it would appear they removed the level 8 features and opted to generalize them. They did this with the war cleric subclass who previously got the divine strikes at level 8 and not in the main class. Trickster got the option of poison type damage also. I suspect it would be more balanced to allow the level 8 feature to use the subclass damage type as an option instead of being additional damage. Eg forge cleric could use radiant/ necrotic/ fire types. Trickster radiant/ necrotic/ poison.

both abilities have the same name so I am unsure.
The "Blessed Strikes" feature in the 2024 Cleric class explicitly says that you don't get to double up if you're using an old-style subclass that offers the same benefit:
Divine power infuses you in battle. You gain one of the following options of your choice (if you get either option from a Cleric subclass in an older book, use only the option you choose for this feature).
