@@connormcgehee9349 The enemy casts fly next to the death cleric and attempts to move away. It takes 12 bludgeoning damage plus 20 necrotic damage, either turning into soup, or if it survives, needing to make a DC16 con save to maintain concentration. Even if it the reaction attack misses, or it makes the save, and it indeed flies 60 ft away? On the cleric's turn, it casts Spiritual Weapon next to the enemy, and does 12 force damage plus 20 necrotic damage, because the spiritual weapon's attack is, in fact, a melee attack you can hit a creature with, which also counts for your channel divinity, which, if you're doing 20 necrotic damage, you definitely have the levels to have a 2nd charge of. So either the enemy turns to soup, or makes another DC16 con save, at which point it falls if it fails, likely finishing the soup. Anyone who laughs at a death cleric because it thinks "flying=no melee=you lose" dies laughing. Not least because, even ignoring the channel divinity, a death cleric is still at the end of the day a cleric, and a guiding bolt or flame strike is just as good from them as it is from a life cleric. And any flier snarking "you can't melee me" to someone who is super best friends with GOD needs to remember where that dude lives: it ain't the ground, lol.

Pointing out that there's a "current cleric" still just feels like you're saying they dropped out of their duty, like they're supposed to be healing and they weren't.

In combat healing is rarely good anyway, other than spells like "Heal." Look at the dice on a healing spell compared to monster damage output. With a few exceptions, best time to heal is when a party member gets knocked down. Prevention is better than cure, killing monsters or using control spells to prevent them from attacking will prevent waaaaay more damage than you can usually heal with the same spell slots.

Less variety than other classes though, by the nature of their power. You're forced to devote yourself to a deity and you're just a normal person if you take a day off. Even the paladin is free to be their own person, because their power stems from their personality and the oath they swore to effectively stay the same person they've always been.

You are in no way discouraged from playing in alternates ways with Grave Cleric until a party member is at 0. Up until that point, which usually doesn't happen until near the end of a fight, you can do whatever you want. I've played a Grave Cleric and pretty much every single one of my combats have gone differently because my party isn't full of suicidal idiots so I'm not forced into healing one of them from the brink until things are almost over. I can guiding bolt, top people off with healing, spirit guardians, command, get in melee and many other things without worrying about wizards forcing me to play any constrained way. Furthermore, even in the case of the 0 hp party member, are you really being forced to do something like getting a party member up when you'd want to do that usually? Same goes for all the spells and abilities you get there are used out of combat... like you get Gentle Repose and the Revive spells... but are you really telling you wouldn't take and use those normally? And even if you want to argue that where does that leave the other domains with their required spells? The only thing I can reasonably agree with you on is maybe the canceling a crit as a reaction ability... because your likely to always use your reaction on that. That said you very rarely get to use that ability so there is plenty of variation you can add if you have another reaction based ability. I just don't see how you are being forced to play anyway. As long as you are creative roleplay-wise or mechanically you can do as much as you want with the Domain as any others.

But every time my party gets into a bad spot there's always this little voice in the back of my head that says "Why didn't you prepare more healing? You're the Cleric" regardless of the fact that I'm currently playing a Tempest Cleric that has been built to be the party's high AC/HP wall with added spell novas.

That's one thing I love Grave Cleric for. You don't NEED to focus on direct healing, but you CAN do it if you feel it best serves the moment. Otherwise, your extra features to make you EXTREAMLY effective when your party is low on health, being able to quickly stabilize (or even pop up) downed allies, not to mention stopping an otherwise lethal crit, just makes you feel powerful AND useful. You don't have to be a "heal bot" if you don't want to. Also, very informative. I didn't realize Barbarian had ANY way to heal themselves. I really thought they were the only class that couldn't do that, and thus was expecting a potential subclass to come out to facilitate that.

this is usually true, but for the campaigns where the DM makes it a house rule that you get a level of exhaustion if you are healed while making death saving throws, then it is best to heal your teammates before they drop. The thing that I do not get about this rule is that it more so punishes melee focused characters, and they usually also make more homebrew rules in favor of melee characters since they are of the opinion that melee characters get the short end of the stick in DnD 5e.

So it's just kind of a kick in the teeth to watch the war cleric charge in, use sacred flame multiple times, and then just go immediately into death saves due to playing like a barbarian.
