Are the Arcana Domain cleric's wizard cantrips from the Arcane Initiate feature in addition to the base cleric's 3 starting ones (i.e. 3 cleric cantrips + 2 wizard ones from the Arcana Domain)?

The Arcana Domain is from the D&D 5e book Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide. The text of the Arcane Initiate feature (p. 125) says:

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency in the Arcana skill, and you gain two cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. For you, these cantrips count as cleric cantrips.

To me this is vague; I don't know if these two cantrips are a bonus, or an addition to my cantrips list (for cleric) that I can choose from.

Best Answer

Yes, they are extra to his cleric cantrips.

This is right in your quote:

... you gain two cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list.

"Gain" is not "substitute".
