Cleric is a Class in Baldur's Gate 3. Clerics primary ability is Wisdom, their Saving Throw Proficiencies are Wisdom and Charisma and they have a Hit Die of 1d8. They have proficiency with Simple weapons, Light Armour, Medium Armour, and Shields.
The Cleric class is great for supporting the group with healing Spells as well as hindering the opposing forces with debuffing Spells. Clerics pick one of many Deities to worship during Character Creation, and this selection can impact interactions within the game.
Clerics are representatives of the gods they worship, wielding potent divine magic for good or ill.

Light Cleric is cool and all but this game allows you to turn a life cleric into a party buffing madman from the start. It honestly feels broken fully healing, blessing & blade warding an entire party with a bonus action.

As of Patch 4, Nature, Knowledge and Trickery domains now have their level 6 features.
Nature gains Dampen Elements
Knowledge gains Read Thoughts
Trickery gains Cloak of Shadows

Kind of sad that a Cleric of Selune can't cast Moonbeam...
Seems that "Light" domain is focused entirely on a Sun theme with Fire spells (And Destructive Wave for some reason?), while also not even having Sunbeam either.

You can't follow Myrkul anymore after some patches? I was hoping to recreate one of my favorite characters who followed him. Maybe they'll add more subclasses and deities to go with it? If not no worries Larian did such an amazing job with this game. Anyone else feel left out after they took Myrkul out though?

Wild magic sorcerer level 1 (Tides of Chaos mechanic), Wizard divination school level 2 (portent die) and cleric light domaine level 9.
This allows you great healing and powerful offensive spells, meanwhile giving the feel of divine intervention happening left and right.

My Thempest domain cleric has also acces to "spiritual weapon" since there is nothing "thunderus" about it I think every cleric has it.

They need to add Death domain so we can replace Shadowheart's awful subclass and still have it make sense lore-wise.

The day if we get the Death Domain by the devs or some talented modder. The turn undead spells would be ironic though

For anyone having trouble when it comes to picking a domain, heres a quick run down:
Life & Nature - These are the traditional idea when it comes to cleric. They do fairly well in a melee fight(when built right) & and come with lots of support + Utility. Life focuses more on healing & death prevention, well Nature prefers crowd control with a squeeze of damage.
Light & Knowledge - These are caster clerics. They both gain access to potent spell-caster which allows them to add their wisdom modifier to damage cantrips making them more potent & reliable. Light goes all in on damage & combat with things like burning hands & fireball, and their divine channel making it harder for enemies to hit them. Knowledge gains access to lots of good crowd control with things like sleep & slow. Their divine channel also gives them a bonus on skill checks of a certain attributes.
War & Tempest - These are the clerics that love melee combat. With training in Martial combat & Heavy Armor they can wield weapons and armor no other cleric can without using up feats. War focuses on being something of a commander, with spells that buff themselves, allies, or both, well also enjoying bonuses to striking with weapons. Tempest on the other hand enjoys dealing elemental damage (usually lighting) to their foes at close range, and disrupting foes at a distance well they close in. Tempest also gains access to things like fog cloud, sleet storm, and freedom of movement allowing them to disrupt enemies, well being hard to disrupt in turn.
Trickery - This is perhaps the oddest of the domains. It has utility in the form of blessing of the trickster allowing advantage on stealth checks, and Invoke Duplicity which gives allies advantage on attacks made on enemies within 3m of the illusion you place. It has disruption in the form of Fear, and charm person, and also has spells that help it in & out of melee combat such as mirror image & Dimension Door(getting in & out of melee). If your willing to spend some gold to re-spec Shadowheart a bit she can actually make a decent addition to your team.

Divine Intervention at 10th level, regardless of Domain/Deity Choice, when using the Arm Thy - The gain a legendary weapon effect - The only thing that is given is the Devotee's Mace. On top of which, you cannot reset your class and go Cleric again to reset the Divine Intervention feature as it trips a flag in the background that states "You've already used Divine Intervention on THIS character." HOWEVER, every party member can go Cleric, and us the Army Thy - Legendary Weapon effect to get the Devotee's Mace, effectively giving a AoE 1D4 Heal for each Mace, which are Simple Weapons, so you can Dual Wield, or Stick'n'Board with them across multiple characters. (Provided the user has the Dual Wielder Feat.) Is this worth it? Probably not, as by the time most players hit level 10 to do so, you likely already have your gear set in stone. Is it oddly humorous... kinda. My one lament is that they didn't give weapon variations for each of the Deities. It's all Devotee's Mace with the same effect across the board. As such, it's actually better to save this big red button for one of the other effects in my opinion. Tempus, Selune, Elistraeae, Oghma - All Devotee's Mace. (Hopefully this changes as time goes on. Fairly early on into the full release though.)

Either I have a bug in my game or 'Heavy Armour' Proficiency is missing here (should be on the list).

As someone who has played healers since Vanilla WoW, all of Overwatch, and in my multiple DnD campaigns, I just really need the Grave Cleric at some point! I'd settle for Death Cleric and go more melee if I must, but my empath emo heart needs my dark little healer.

Without Spiritual Weapon, the dps of this class lags behind others. Dang. It feels like they're pigeon-holing classes into predefined roles.

What is the deal with Gods? Are they restricted to the domain? ... ?

Life and light domain clerics...? This is my favorite DnD class because of their versatility. I'd love to see Tempest, and Forge domain clerics make it into the game eventually. I think 5e did a lot to keep them from being the "dedicated healer" and had enough alternatives to where they weren't responsible for healing the entire party. There are something like 12 cleric domains, you can currently only pick from 3, and 2 of them being fairly similar is a bit disappointing. That's early access though right?

Life cleric has Knowledge cleric spells for some reason?, I assume it's just a mistake and needs to be updated.
