One of my players is a War Domain cleric and dual-wields weapons. He's been making three attacks: the Attack action; bonus-action for the other hand, from Two-Weapon Fighting, and; use one of his "War Priest bonus attacks" (PHB, p. 63) for the third attack
As for this being powerful, the power is really just in the War Priest feature. It gives an additional resource (it's own uses) of quite powerful attacks (if using a two handed weapon). Just the 1st level War Cleric is a clearer demonstration of this, having two full attacks (for that same number of turns per long rest) at first level. It just ...
War Priest is a 1st level feature that lets War Domain Clerics use their bonus action to make a second attack when they take the Attack action. I (and others online) feel that this feature is poor, for a few reasons: The wisdom-based use limit does not scale well to mid- and late-game.
This makes the War Priest's two attacks better than everybody else's two attacks. Special feats, options and true extra attacks are provided to classes like fighters, paladins, bards, barbarians, and rangers, that can partially or wholly mitigate the off hand penalties OR imitate/surpass on a permanent basis the War Priest's extra attack with a ...
The War domain gives you proficiency with heavy armor and military weapons as well as an ability similar to the martial classes extra attack but restricted to uses per day. the war cleric's spell lists adds spells to buff your AC (or react to an attack) as well as combat utility spells like magic weapon. What you really want however, is a Paladin.
The War Priest feature lets you make one weapon attack as a bonus action if you use your action to do the Attack action. In contrast, the Precision Attack maneuver applies to any single attack roll. (See this thread for the distinction between an attack (or attack roll) and the Attack action.) It lets you expend a superiority die to add the ...
By the time the character has War God's Blessing, it also has two uses of Channel Divinity. I don't see anything that would prevent you from using both abilities to get +20 on the same attack (though there are probably better and/or more efficient uses, like making an additional attack with War Priest and hoping for a better roll); they have ...
The 5e PHB states on page 63 about War Priest: When you use the attack action, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action. So this rules out any beasts making a bonus attack after a multiattack, but what if an Awakened Tree for example uses his action to make a Slam Melee Weapon Attack.
I've written a new homebrew replacement for the War Priest feature based on that feedback. It allows a War Cleric to make an attack when they reduce the power of a spell they cast. When you use your action to cast a spell by expending a spell slot, you may instead have the spell assume the level below the slot's and use your reaction to make ...
Being a War Domain Cleric, who can make an extra attack via their War Priest feature at level 1, although this isn't an "always on" feature like the others, and I am already intent on taking the Forge Domain, so this isn't an option for me;
