![]() I, a couple of years or so ago, played a Tempest Cleric who had a very similar alteration, where my DM allowed me to swap ice storm for storm sphere. Replacing ice storm with storm sphere seemed balanced enough when I did it But it does give them another edge up that may make other clerics wish to switch out their Domain spells to something cooler/more useful. Once again, Arcana clerics get Nystul's magic aura and Leomund's secret chest. Lot's of clerics have domain spells that no other cleric can cast. So not only would they essentially be getting an extra preparation slot, but they would be getting a spell that no other Cleric could cast. It would be impossible for a cleric to prepare this spell under normal means. The second issue is that Storm Sphere is not even on the Cleric's spell list. ![]() Will it give the player any great advantage? Unless you're going through a water campaign, it's basically an extra spell they can prepare. They should feel sorry for Arcana clerics that are stuck with Nystul's magic aura and Leomund's secret chest. To me, it sounds like the player is just looking to not be stuck with a rarely used "freebie". So you would be trading a niche spell, Control Water, for an always useful attack spell, Storm Sphere. Whereas Storm Sphere can be a useful attack no matter what. ![]() Unless you were specifically going on an adventure where there is a great chance to encounter a large body of water, I would imagine the chance being very low. If we reversed the spells, Control Water must be manually prepared and Storm Sphere is a "freebie", what is the likelihood that the cleric would choose Control Water as one of those 11? But this brings up another issue I'll address at the end (Hint, they can't do it). This means that if they want to also have Storm Sphere they would have to use up one of their prepared spots. For the sake of argument, we'll say that they can prepare 11 non-domain spells (level 7 + 4 for an 18 Wisdom) ![]() These are always prepared above and beyond what the cleric can have prepared. Since domain spells are considered always prepared, there is a quick trick to figure out value/balance reverse the conditions.Īt 7th level, a Tempest cleric gets two domain spells Control Water and Ice Storm. As a DM I would call it slightly imbalanced ![]()
