War Domain Additions & Fixes

Additions & Fixes to the War Domain to help it be better at waging war and battle. The subclass suffers from trying to rely on weapon attacks when they become mathematically worse than cantrips as they level. This aims to fix both that and some other issues while still remaining balanced in order to make the domain feel powerful to play instead of underwhelming.

Things are subject to change and may not be final. This is meant to be played as an addition to the class, not by itself. Constructive criticism is always appreciated. 

War Priest Buff

When you use the Attack action or cast a Spell as an action, you can make an extra weapon attack alongside them as a bonus action once per turn. You can do this a number of times up to your spell casting modifier, and the uses recharge on a long rest.

This tries to improve War Priest by allowing you to use your extra attack more often.

Guided Strike Buff

When you make an attack roll or force a target to make a saving throw, you can use your Channel Divinity to gain a +10 bonus to the roll or give the target disadvantage on their first saving throw. You can make this choice after you see the roll.

This simply changes Guided Strike to also include spells which utilize saving throws and slightly buffs the ability for better online play.

War God's Blessing Buff

Instead of 30 feet, you can use War God's Blessing out 60 feet. 

Doubling the range of War God's Blessing helps with using it on allies who might be out of range otherwise. 

Divine Strike Buff

The damage provided by Divine Strike counts as magical to overcome resistance. 

War Domain already suffers from trying to lean into the weapons, and not being able to overcome magical resistance puts the cherry on the cake of it being underwhelming. This fixes that by having divine strike damage be magical like nearly every other domain.

Avatar Of Battle Buff

You gain a permanent +2 AC on top of Avatar Of Battle's buff, and the resistances gained INCLUDE magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

This makes your cleric just a bit more formidable on top of making the mundane damage resistances actually relevant in the late game.
