I always wanted to like Light Domain clerics, but always found them underwhelming. While base game Radiance of The Dawn is very strong in the early game, it falls off pretty hard around level 5 and the subclass doesn't have much else going for it. This mod seeks to make Light Domain channel divinity useful through the whole game and allow light domain clerics to be a viable alternative to other casters like evocation wizards and sorcerers, while fulfilling their own niche with a support sub-focus. Look below for the list of changes included in this mod.
General Cleric Changes
