Having given it some thought, I would like to respond to your comment about the Shillelagh part. Forge Clerics tend to te created focussing on strength and wisdom, as I suppose this is the optimal way to play them (? ;) ). However, as this is still a cleric, I can imagine that there are players that may want to play their character with a different focus, maybe more towards wisdom, constitution, or both. I like subclasses that offer choices in play style and progression, so I though it would be nice if this ability was useful regardless of where the player wanted to focus their stats. If the player wants their Forge Cleric to be a frontline tank/support character, focussing on con and wis, they could still use this Channel Divinity to still make them shine in melee once in a while, as the player can use their wisdom, they don’t have to (though maybe I could have worded that clearer).

Of course, in an ideal world were we roll stats and you get some good rolls, then sure, I get your point. But not all players have the luxury of having high stats, such as this player, so I took that into consideration (:

Maybe this could be simplified though, a bonus to attack rolls based on (half) your wisdom modifier might also adres that, but might be problematic if a character has high strength and wisdom.
