The Cleric
Can’t start Early Access without a Cleric, can we? The last of the classic 4 (with the Fighter, Rogue and Wizard), the Cleric is ready to roll out with its 2… wait, 3 subclasses? Yes, turns out the Cleric does not follow any rules! 3 archetypes instead of 2, all of them from Solasta 1 and even featuring the SRD Life Domain when none of the other classes had an SRD archetype! What’s up with that?
Well, domains are a little more complicated than archetypes for other classes - gameplay speaking there are already a whole buttload of official ones we need to work around, and lore-wise it’s a story centered around Maraike, the goddess of life and death of Solasta - meaning not having the Life and Oblivion Domain would be a little strange. And if you’re wondering why not stop there at 2 domains, well… Neither of those two encourage a frontline type of Cleric in 2024, so we decided to bring back the Battle Domain as well for those looking to run in mace swinging.
