AnonymousThis domain is decent after the last patch, they fixed blessings of knowledge wisdom, as well as gave it something at level 6 (even if detect thoughts is kinda useless on a non-speaker character)

Anonymous
AnonymousI think this should have gotten something like Magical Secrets from Bard. It would unlock a lot of potential with a caster build, and really go into the "Knowledge" aspect

AnonymousKnowledge of the Ages is bugged. Selecting Wisdom grants Animal Handling and the Int skills rather than Wis skills.
All the other stat options work (Including Int giving Int skills). Just for some reason Wisdom is broken.
Anonymous
AnonymousWhile it doesn't get a level 6 feature. The biggest reason to take this domain imo is the Wizard spells. Slow and Confusion on a cleric? Yes please.

AnonymousBug: Unfortunately the skill boost for Wisdom Skills from "Knowledge of the Ages" doesn't apply - only animal handling gets the proficiency. Hopefully this gets fixed sometime - I'd love to play a human cleric with full proficiency on all INT + WIS skills.

AnonymousThis is actually really solid, the great boost to skills, great spell’s added and potent cantrips make for a very solid cleric.

AnonymousThis is worth pointing out so you don't make this mistake. You can pick expertise in 2 skills from the first feature without also having to put proficiency in them. This is intended, it's just that the game does not remove the check box for proficiency like it should so if you don't know then you will waste a skill choice.

AnonymousWhy does the Knowledge Domain not get a level 6 class feature when all the other Cleric subclasses do?

Anonymous
AnonymousYou can also add Expertise to Arcana (from the Level 1 subclass feature) in addition to the other 3.

Did someone test if this lets you read/understand everything then?
I saw some stuff where the narrator said that you don't speak that language etc, I would love to know if this is actually the case
