Draconic Blood

Beginning at 6th level, when you use absorb elements as part of your Draconic Affinity ability, you regain hit points equal to your cleric level + your Wisdom modifier.

The wording is broken on my character when viewing this ability.

It says:
When you use absorb elements as part of your Draconic Affinity ability, you regain classlevel:cleric:+modifier:wis - Invalid keyword: cleric hit points.

Great subclass, but BTW Takhisis is just what they call Tiamat in Dragonlance, so you may want to change the lore bit to match.

So, this is a very well-made subclass, very flavorful, very good. The only thing I would suggest is to give this subclass bonus proficiency in martial weapon, it'd synergize really well with the Draconic Strike class feature and fit in with how most, if not all, Cleric subclasses give some kind of bonus proficiency as part of the starting package.

I just realised that Dragon Blood is super overpowered, because you can essentially take any fire dragon, and then break a bottle of alchemists fire over your head to heal yourself to full health. Who needs a short rest when you can just restore yourself by the power of arson?

That could work for sure.  Obviously feel free to change it however you want so it best suits your game.  What I might do is just cut it in half and bring it up to 7d6 at 14, or maybe earlier and add another tier.

My Descent into Avernus party wants to join the Cult of the Dragon, and the party's cleric might just change his domain to this. I do think it is wise to better balance the channel divinity ability. Putting down a 7d6 cone of fire at level 2 is awesome, but also a little overpowered. I'd change it to 1d6 per cleric level, with an increase in range at 14th level. Maybe copy the dragonborn breath weapon table to keep the shape and flavour.

Hmm.  Thanks for pointing this out, I’ll try to fix it when I have time.

Like it.

There´s a small error though - in the description of draconic affinity, it says advantage on persuasion checks, but the sheet shows advantage in the deception skill in the skill list.

Thanks!

I'd say that you would go down to zero and then get healed.

Love everything about this!!!

But I think one thing needs to be cleared up about that lvl 6 feature. What happens if you are taken down to 0 hp? If I am a lvl 6 Fire Dragon Cleric with +4 Wisdom (therefore I get healed by 10 hit points when Absorb Elements happens) and get hit by a spell that deals 40 fire damage (which gets halved down to 20), would I:

A: first take 20 points of damage, go down to 0 and then get healed up to 10 hp, effectively being healed by 5 hp

Or

B: the healing takes place immediately, bringing the fire damage I should have taken down to 10 which still brings me down to 0 hp

I really think this a great idea. I'm running a dragonborn war cleric of Bahamut in Adventurer's League. I would totally be using this if it were allowed.

Keep up the good work!

Any suggestions for improvements are more than welcome.
