Cleric

It is a common misconception that the members of demon-worshiping cults are all mindless slaves, crazed hedonists, or violent murderers. The truth is that many of them are perfectly sane, with dreams of enslaving demons for themselves, rather than the other way around. A select few are even strong enough to do so, rising through the ranks of their cult to become powerful priests and summoners, capable of calling upon armies of fiends and mortals alike to do their bidding.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to augment your offensive spells, the better to unleash the infinite chaos of the Abyss on your foes.

When you cast a spell that deals damage to one or more creatures, you can use your Channel Divinity to add your Wisdom modifier to the damage. Any creature reduced to 0 hit points by this spell is disintegrated into a fine grey dust, along with anything it is wearing or carrying (except for magic items). The creature can be restored to life only by means of a true resurrection or a wish spell.

Any Large or smaller nonmagical object or a creation of magical force that would be hit by the spell is also disintegrated.

At 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to chain demons to your will. When you cast a spell that summons demons, you present your holy symbol and use your Channel Divinity to bind them. Any demons bound in this way cannot break free from your control, and are never hostile towards you or your allies. The binding ends when you die.

At 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

When you reach 17th level, you infuse your soul with demonic energy, gaining immense power. You have resistance to cold, fire and lightning damage, and gain telepathy with a range of 120 feet.

The worthy shall strive for greatness—supremacy in life leads to supremacy in the afterlife.

Bontu has fully embraced this dictum, and though she expends little effort in teaching it, she surely leads by example. Her viziers subtly plant the seeds that flower into the ambition the God-Pharaoh desires. Through insinuation, they remind acolytes and initiates alike that achieving one's place in the afterlife at the expense of others is not shameful, but is proof of the initiate's determination and drive. Nothing is more important than that drive, they suggest—not the bonds of a crop, not friendship or love. Not even devotion to a deity.

At each indicated cleric level, add the listed spells to your spells prepared.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to create an illusory duplicate of yourself.

As an action, you create a perfect illusion of yourself that lasts for 1 minute, or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell). The illusion appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within 30 feet of you. As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the illusion up to 30 feet to a space you can see, but it must remain within 120 feet of you.

For the duration, you can cast spells as though you were in the illusion's space, but you must use your own senses. Additionally, when both you and your illusion are within 5 feet of a creature that can see the illusion, you have advantage on attack rolls against that creature, given how distracting the illusion is to the target.

Starting at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to vanish. As an action, you become invisible until the end of your next turn. You become visible if you attack or cast a spell.

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

8th-level cleric optional feature, which replaces the Potent Spellcasting feature

You are blessed with divine might in battle. When a creature takes damage from one of your cantrips or weapon attacks, you can also deal 1d8 radiant damage to that creature. Once you deal this damage, you can't use this feature again until the start of your next turn.

At 17th level, you can create up to four duplicates of yourself, instead of one, when you use Invoke Duplicity. As a bonus action on your turn, you can move any number of them up to 30 feet, to a maximum range of 120 feet.

The Anathema domain isn't part of any deity's portfolio. Rather, it is the purview of those who become subjects of a deity's contempt. Clerics who turn to this domain are just as capable of weaving magical wonders as their devout peers, but rather than doing so by divine grace, their rites harness the ire of gods and channel it into bouts of transient power.

Clerics who master these anathematic rites are called the scorned. While their relationship with their deities is antagonistic and gods-fearing societies shun them, there's nothing inherently evil about the scorned's practices. Some join their ranks voluntarily, believing it their duty to stand in opposition to gods who threaten the cosmological order. These clerics form secret orders dedicated to ensuring that those gods who lie chained, slumbering, dead, or forgotten remain that way.

At 2nd level, you learn to use your Channel Divinity to diminish the capabilities of creatures of faith. As an action, you create a 30-foot aura of discordant divinity around you that lasts for 1 minute or until you fall unconscious. When a creature in the aura magically regains hit points, or takes radiant or necrotic damage, you can roll a d6. On a 4 or higher, the amount of hit points regained or damage taken is reduced to 0.

When you reach 6th level, you learn to focus the ire of your god to further hamper a creature suffering from it. Before a creature rolls the d4 from a bane spell cast by you, you can use a reaction to upgrade the d4 to a d6.

As you gain levels in this class, the malediction imposed by this feature grows even stronger. You can upgrade the die to a d8 at 11th level, and to a d10 at 17th level.

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

When you reach 17th level, you no longer need to concentrate on the bane spell. When you cast it, it lasts for its full duration, until you cast the spell again, or until you fall unconscious.

Additionally, your ability to channel divine hatred is so masterful that it harms those burdened with it. The first time a creature rolls the die for a bane spell cast by you on its turn, it also takes psychic damage equal to the number rolled on the die.

An angelic scribe studies the angelic seals that harness the power of celestial messengers through their names and shapes that power into magical effects. Beyond the seals and wardings themselves, you learn esoteric spells to call down the essence of the angelic host.

Beginning at 6th level, you can place warding seals to protect areas. This follows the procedure for scribing an angelic seal, but a warding seal must be fashioned on the ground, the floor, or a similarly suitable portion of a structure such as a wall, column, or ceiling. As an action, you can touch the seal to activate it. You must maintain concentration on the effect as if concentrating on a spell.

Once activated, a warding seal creates a spherical "safe space" that extends out to 30 feet around it, large enough to surround a small building or series of rooms of appropriate dimensions (a 22-foot cube, for example, or any space of approximately 11,000 cubic feet). An aberration, fey, fiend, or undead cannot physically cross the boundary, cast spells through it, or project its abilities across the boundary unless it makes a successful Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC. A creature that fails the saving throw can try again on its next turn. A creature that makes a sucessful save and moves across the boundary into the protected area isn't affected by the boundary while it remains inside (the boundary impedes only incoming entities and effects, not outgoing ones), but it must contend with the ward again if it leaves the area and tries to reenter.

Starting at 10th level (or 8th level for a cleric), you can use an action to empower one of your active angelic seals or warding seals to greater effect. If you choose an angelic seal, its user typically gains the greater benefit of the seal for 1 minute (unless otherwise noted), replacing the normal benefit during that time. If you choose a warding seal, for the next hour a creature that fails its saving throw against the ward takes 6d6 radiant damage and automatically fails additional saves against the ward during this time.

You can use this ability twice, and you regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

At 14th level (or 17th level for a cleric), you add conjure celestial to your spellbook or your spells known if you don't already know it.

Additionally, you can use a bonus action to infuse your seals with angelic wrath. For 1 minute, you deal an additional 1d8 radiant damage with weapon attacks—and so does anyone within 30 feet of you that is in possession of one of your active seals.

You can't use this ability again until you finish a short or long rest.

Gods with the Apocalypse domain promote fear, judgment, punishment, and the end of all things.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to lash out at those who defy your deity's messenger. As an action, you present your holy symbol while pronouncing doom to unbelievers. Each hostile creature that can see you and is within 30 feet of you takes 3d6 + your Cleric level necrotic damage, or half damage with a successful Wisdom saving throw. A creature that has total cover from you is not affected.

At 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to manipulate a creature's thoughts. You can then use your access to the creature's mind as an advantage when interrogating it.

As an action, choose one creature that you can see within 60 feet of you. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, you automatically know for the next 10 minutes whether anything the target says is true, a lie, or in between. On a successful save, the target cannot be affected by this spell until you finish a long rest.

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with necrotic energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

At 17th level, you gain resistance to acid, fire, and poison damage.

Magic is an energy that suffuses the multiverse and that fuels both destruction and creation. Gods of the Arcana domain know the secrets and potential of magic intimately. For some of these gods, magical knowledge is a great responsibility that comes with a special understanding of the nature of reality. Other gods of Arcana see magic as pure power, to be used as its wielder sees fit.

The gods of this domain are often associated with knowledge, as learning and arcane power tend to go hand-in-hand. In the Realms, deities of this domain include Azuth and Mystra, as well as Corellon Larethian of the elven pantheon. In other worlds, this domain includes Hecate, Math Mathonwy, and Isis; the triple moon gods of Solinari, Lunitari, and Nuitari of Krynn; and Boccob, Vecna, and Wee Jas of Greyhawk.

At each indicated cleric level, add the listed spells to your spells prepared. They do not count towards your limit.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to abjure otherworldly creatures.

As an action, you present your holy symbol, and one celestial, elemental, fey, or fiend of your choice that is within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw, provided that the creature can see or hear you. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.

A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly end its move in a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, then the creature can use the Dodge action.

After you reach 5th level, when a creature fails its saving throw against your Arcane Abjuration feature, the creature is banished for 1 minute (as in the banishment spell, no concentration required) if it isn't on its plane of origin, and its challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold, as shown below.

Starting at 6th level, when you restore hit points to an ally with a spell of 1st level or higher, you can also end one spell of your choice on that creature. The level of the spell you end must be equal to or lower than the level of the spell slot you use to cast the healing spell.

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

8th-level cleric optional feature, which replaces the Potent Spellcasting feature

You are blessed with divine might in battle. When a creature takes damage from one of your cantrips or weapon attacks, you can also deal 1d8 radiant damage to that creature. Once you deal this damage, you can't use this feature again until the start of your next turn.

At 17th level, you choose four spells from the Wizard spell list, one from each of the following levels: 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th. You add them to your list of domain spells. Like your other domain spells, they are always prepared and count as cleric spells for you.

An arrow flies through the air, silence, the noise of frost breaking. The enemy recoils in fear, the allied soldier laughs and jumps back into the fray. The cleric keeps chanting as another layer of ice surrounds his allies, protecting them.

Cleric of the Arctic domain channel the power of the unyielding winter. Where many fear the bite of the arctic, they embrace it and use it to protect their loved ones from harm.

Starting at 2nd level, as an action, you can brandish your holy symbol, facing a creature you can see within 30ft of you. It must make a Strength saving throw or the ice forming around it will encase it for 1 minute.

While encased in this way a creature is incapacitated and its speed becomes 0, it is also immune to all damage while trapped. At the end of each of its turn it can try to repeat the Strength saving throw, breaking free of the ice on a success.

At 6th level, the divine ice shines through you:

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

Starting at 17th level, your blessed affinity with the cold is unmatched:

Art Domain clerics are those who, in their religious temples, churches and abbeys, chant praises and songs that enchant and excite all the faithful, but their main aim is to show the beauty of art when it is directed towards their god. A bard who, faced with the difficulties of life, needed shelter in a convent and there learned the beauties of religious life and there converted to Art Domain, a minstrel who dedicated his poetry and texts to magnify the deeds of his god and his church. In all these cases, art was the means they found to live out their faith, and this is what a religious artist strives for.

These clerics are not tied to specific deities, as their songs and praises can be dedicated to any deity or belief, as long as their art is required. Cultists who worship Vecna may want songs and poems in their rites that intone the beauty of necromancy, and devotees of Pelor may request the presence of these clerics to worship the sun at a summer solstice festival.

Once you reach level 6, your wit is as good as a diplomat's. The art makes you understand the people and the church, so you can speak what they want to hear. Whenever you roll a Persuasion or Deception test, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the test. In addition, when you spend at least 1 minute showing your art in public, such as in a temple, hall, tavern or square, you can roll a Perfomance test to determine the quality of the presentation, on a success, determined by the Master, you gain a point of inspiration.

Also from 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity as an action to choose a number of creatures within 9 meters of you equal to your Wisdom modifier and end frightening or bewitching effects that are affecting them (you choose for each creature).

From 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage dealt by any cleric trick, this damage is psychic.

At level 17, your bond with your friends and traveling companions has become very strong and most of the songs and writings you create are about the adventures you've been on together. As a bonus action, you can create a bond between you and your companions by choosing a number of them within 18 meters of you equal to your proficiency bonus. For 1 minute, you and your bonded companions can add your Wisdom modifier to all your skill and endurance tests and attack rolls. When a bonded companion takes damage or fails a resistance test from an effect originating from a creature you see within 27 meters of you, you can use your reaction to force this creature to make a Wisdom resistance test against your magic DC, suffering 3d8 psychic damage if you fail, or half if you pass. After using this ability, you can't use it again until you've completed a long rest.

Gods of artistry—such as Deneir, Milil, Branchala, and Apollo—promote creativity and imagination above all. These gods value all of the arts, including music, painting, sculpting, and other skilled crafts, though they often specialize in one craft above the others. Clerics of a god of artistry are creative souls infused with the desire to create and share their emotions with others, whether through song, artwork, or other means.

Beginning at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to fill a creature's mind with music and color, drowning out reality.

As an action, you present your holy symbol, and a creature you can see within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is blinded and deafened until the end of your next turn or until it takes any damage, as vibrant colors fill its vision and beautiful music drowns out all other noise. On a successful save, the creature is not blinded nor deafened, but it still has disadvantage on attack rolls until the end of your next turn or until it takes any damage.

Regardless of whether the creature succeeded or failed its save, if it takes any damage before the end of your next turn, it is dealt additional psychic damage equal to 1d4 + half your cleric level.

At 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to create real creatures and objects from artwork.

As an action, you touch your holy symbol to a piece of artwork and cause a single object or creature depicted within that piece to be conjured at an unoccupied location within 30 feet of you, in a perfectly realistic form. To be an eligible target, the real version of a selected creature or object must fit within a 10-foot cube. If the target is a creature, it must either be a beast of CR 1/4 or below or a CR 0 creature of any creature type. A conjured creature is friendly to you and obeys your commands. Any creature or object conjured by this feature lasts for 1 hour or until it is destroyed or dismissed as a bonus action on your turn.

The maximum CR of any beast you conjure with this feature increases to 1 at 11th level and 2 at 17th level.

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

Starting at 17th level, certain spells you cast will create auras of divine magic. Whenever you cast an enchantment or illusion spell, you can cause magical energy to radiate from you in an aura with a 10-foot radius. For 1 minute or until you use this feature again, the aura moves with you, centered on you. The effects of the aura depend on the spell's school of magic:

Clerics of the Aspiration domain consider themselves mentors--though others are more likely to call them tempters. They offer forbidden knowledge and challenge people to live up to their full potential, eschewing the con-fines of what others might consider right, proper, or safe. The most common clerics to earn these gifts of the faith are followers of the Shadow under the Cazhaak Creed.

You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Aspiration Domain Spells table. See the Divine Domain class feature for how domain spells work.

You can use your Channel Divinity to invoke the secrets of the Shadow, allowing you and your charges to turn forbidden potential into strength. As an action, you and each willing creature of your choice that you can see within 15 feet of you take necrotic damage equal to 1d10 plus your Wisdom modifier, and gain twice that many temporary hit points. This damage can't be reduced in any way.

When you use your Channel Divinity feature, you can impart some of the Shadow's most successful lessons and awaken new gifts in those affected. Choose one of the following magical gifts, bestowing that benefit on yourself and each target of your Channel Divinity:

You add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

The range of your Channel Divinity: Awaken Ambition feature increases from 15 feet to 30 feet. In addition, creatures affected by your Shadow's Gifts feature gain all four benefits, instead of just one.

Gods of the Astral Plane are as lost to time and space as the realm they reign over. The Astral Plane fills the gaps between the planes of existence and is an important, balancing force in the cosmic ecosystem of the multiverse. Practitioners of this domain see the absence of anything as something, and consider the Astral Plane as the ultimate destination of all things. These acolytes follow the ultimate path to their destination, and help shepherd others along their way in a grand mission of entropy. Clerics of the astral domain are chaotic by nature, but typically choose to destroy evil where they find it and hasten its inevitable journey to the Astral Plane.

At each indicated cleric level, add the listed spells to your spells prepared. They do not count towards your limit.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to create a brief tear in the planar fabric that leads to the Astral Plane. As a bonus action, you can point your finger at a point you can see within 60 feet to create a planar tear. The tear is minuscule, but creates a powerful vacuum that forces each creature within 15 feet of the point to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes force damage equal to 2d10 + half your cleric level and is pulled up to 15 feet toward the point. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much force damage and is not pulled. The tear vanishes immediately after drawing in any nearby creatures.

By 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to distort the fabric of reality. As an action, you teleport up to 30 feet away to an unoccupied space you can see. Alternatively, you can choose a space within range that is occupied by a Small or Medium creature. If that creature is willing, you both teleport, swapping places.

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

At 17th level, you can choose to target a hostile creature when you use your Spatial Exchange feature. When you do, that creature must make a Charisma saving throw against your cleric spell save DC. On a failure, it switches places with you. On a success, neither you nor the creature are moved by your Channel Divinity.

In addition, your comfort slipping through planes allows you to do more while you move between them. Whenever you successfully swap places with another creature using your Spatial Exchange feature, you can cast a spell of 5th level or lower with a range of touch as part of that action. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action, and you must target the creature you're switching places with. The spell completes as you and the other creature switch places.

While some deities are stern in their edicts and unmoved by mortal nuance, others accept those who come looking for a second chance. Gods of redemption, renewal, and suffering might be particularly inclined to accept such supplicants, so long as their pleas are genuine, and their will to atone remains resolute.

Clerics who approach these gods looking for forgiveness are granted the Atonement domain, either becoming permanent seekers of redemption or serving the god until they can intercede on the cleric's behalf with another deity.

Starting at 2nd level, you learn to employ your Channel Divinity to make a noble sacrifice. As a reaction, when a creature you can see within 30 feet of you would be reduced to 0 hit points as a result of taking damage, you can use your Channel Divinity to magically take the damage yourself, in place of the target. If this damage would reduce you to 0 hit points, it reduces you to 1 hit point instead. This redirects all the damage the creature would have taken to you, but the target is still subject to other effects as if it had taken the damage.

Your sacrifice also bestows your target with a divine ward, granting it temporary hit points equal to your cleric level.

At 6th level, you gain the ability to empower your selfless acts of protection with divine aid. When you use your Selfless Reprieve feature against an effect that allows you to make a saving throw to take only half damage, you take half damage from your saving throw failure, and your chosen target takes no damage from their automatic success.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

Starting at 8th level, you can infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 radiant damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

When you reach 17th level, your Selfless Reprieve feature can grant automatic successes to two creatures making the same saving throw as you, instead of only one. In addition, each use of your Hallowed Reprieve feature can now simultaneously benefit up to two creatures as well.

While some deities are stern in their edicts and unmoved by mortal nuance, others accept those who come looking for a second chance.

Coin Charlatans. Friars of Finance. Acolytes of Ambition. These pejoratives and others are flung at those clerics who discard religious platitudes and dogmatic structure for something more...distilled. Despite the slander and disdain, clerics of the Avarice Domain hold one truth above all else: the gods greedily withhold their power, only deeming those that would directly benefit them worthy of wielding it.

These clerics know they're worthy. Ambition leads to profit. Profit leads to power. They aren't evil misers, jealously guarding their jeweled temples—they know how to use that power. Goodly clerics who walk this path often find themselves at the epicenter of wealth, altruistically guiding it to where it will do the most good for everyone—including themselves. Avarice clerics are masters of battlefield control, bolstering the effectiveness of their collaborators.

Starting at 2nd level, you can distract those who wish to do you harm by tapping into their material desires. When you are attacked by another creature within 30 feet of you who can see you, you can use your Channel Divinity as a reaction to project an illusion of whatever the creature desires most from your holy symbol. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become stunned until the end of your next turn.

The player or GM can roll a d10 on the Object of Desire table to determine what the creature most desires, or the GM is free to invent a craving. Savvy clerics take note of what illusion appears, wielding the knowledge of a creature's desires against it should they cross paths again.

Starting at 6th level, you can take spells affecting others and twist them for your own use. When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you is targeted by a spell not cast by you that requires concentration, you can use your reaction to duplicate the spell's effect on yourself. If the spell ends for the other creature, the effect ends for you at the end of your next turn.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

At 17th level, your ability to benefit yourself while empowering others becomes second nature. When you use Prophet Motive to replicate a spell's effect, you can choose to have that spell not require concentration.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Divine might invokes terror and reverence in equal measure. Celestials, mere shadows of the gods, must remind the creatures they visit to feel no fear in the face of their majesty, even as existential terror grips their audience. Clerics of this domain act as an open conduit for the sheer might of their gods, whose power far exceeds their breathtaking servants. The powers of this domain astonish and terrify both sinners and the devout.

Most gods can grant this domain to their followers when in short temper, and divine rulers like Zeus, Odin, El Shaddai, and Marduk favor it. Alternatively, these clerics represent divine organizations like the Circle of Greater Powers, Mount Olympus, or the Aesir, instead of one god.

You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Awe Domain Spells table. See the Divine Domain class feature for how domain spells work.

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you learn the sacred flame cantrip, which doesn't count against the number of cleric cantrips you know. If you roll an 8 on a d8 when rolling damage for this spell, you can roll another d8 and add it to the damage, including whenever you roll an 8 on the additional die.

Also at 1st level, when you cast a cleric spell that affects an area, you can expand that area by a number of feet equal to 5 × the level of the slot used to cast the spell. The spell must either be one of your domain spells or have an Instantaneous duration. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier, and can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Starting at 2nd level, your Channel Divinity reveals the overwhelming power of your god. As a bonus action, you can present your holy symbol and force a number of creatures within 120 feet of you equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of 1) to make a Wisdom saving throw. A target must be able to see or hear you. On a failed save, a target is restrained in place and cannot move for 1 minute, though flying creatures remain aloft.

Each target repeats its saving throw every time it takes damage, and creatures immune to being frightened have advantage on saving throws against this feature.

At 6th level, when you cast a spell that deals damage, you can change its damage type to radiant. When you roll radiant damage, you can reroll a number of dice up to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of 1) and use the higher result. You can reroll radiant damage dice once per long rest.

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

Starting at 17th level, your god answers your prayers with a fury that shakes the world.

You can use an action to expend a 9th-level spell slot and cast one of the spells below, requiring no somatic or material components. The spell's range increases to sight, and if the spell creates an area of effect, each of the area's dimensions increases to 1 mile if they are not already larger.

Each creature of your choice affected by the spell makes a Wisdom saving throw against your Reverent Dread Channel Divinity, which does not expend a use of your Channel Divinity.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest. Once you cast one of the listed spells, you can't cast it with this feature again until you cast every other spell on the list in the same way. You can still use your cleric spellcasting, spellcasting from another class feature, a magic item, or another source of powerful magic to cast these spells, which don't count against the number of cleric spells you have prepared.

There is a delicate time for beginnings and endings, but there is always time for balance, do not doubt.

Underdark clerics of the balance domain are committed to neutrality and order in all that they pursue. Many slyths follow this path for those reasons, but adherents of all races can be found walking this path. These clerics prefer diplomacy to combat, and are well versed in the art of calming individuals and helping parties that are at odds come to a peaceful, or at least a non-violent, resolution.

At each indicated cleric level, add the listed spells to your spells prepared.

2nd-level Balance Domain feature

As a reaction, you can present your holy symbol when hit by an attack to summon a magical ward that grants you a bonus to your AC equal to your Wisdom modifier, potentially turning the hit into a miss. The ward lasts for 1 minute, or until you are hit by an attack, in which the ward explodes, causing all creatures of your choice within 5 feet of you to make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC or be pushed back 10 feet and take force damage equal to 1d10 + your cleric level.

6th-level Balance Domain feature

You learn to subtly influence the minds of those around you, encouraging them to make rational decisions. You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you gain advantage on Wisdom saving throws.

If you or an friendly creature fail a Wisdom saving throw, you can expend a number of balance points, adding the number of points spent to the failed save, potentially turning the failure into a success.

8th-level Balance Domain feature

You add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

8th-level cleric optional feature, which replaces the Potent Spellcasting feature

You are blessed with divine might in battle. When a creature takes damage from one of your cantrips or weapon attacks, you can also deal 1d8 radiant damage to that creature. Once you deal this damage, you can't use this feature again until the start of your next turn.

17th-level Balance Domain feature

Your powerful connection to balance allows you to change the flow of combat, spreading the damage dealt to a single target among yourself and your allies. When an ally within 60 feet of you that you can see takes damage, you can use your reaction to divide that damage evenly between the original target, yourself, and up to two other allies within 60 feet of you. You can't choose allies whose current hit points are less than the amount of damage they would be taking.

Before dividing the damage dealt, you can expend a number of balance points to reduce the total damage by 1d6 for each balance point expended.

You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier, and regain all expended uses after a long rest.

Beauty is a concept that is interpreted differently by every culture, creed, and individual. For some it is an objective standard, unchanging and permanent. For others, true beauty must be fleeting and temporary to be appreciated. The beautiful can be used to uplift and inspire, but it can also be used to twist, control, and manipulate the naive.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to overwhelm a creature with a flash of intense admiration for you, driving them to rash action in your defense. As an action, present your holy symbol and force one creature you can see within 30 feet to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is charmed by you until the start of your next turn, and it must immediately use its reaction to make a weapon attack against a target you designate. If there are no valid targets, it uses its reaction to admire you.

Your god has blessed you with an otherworldly elegance that disarm those who behold you. Beginning at 6th level, when you cast an enchantment spell of 1st-level or higher, and the target is within 5 feet and can see you, you can impose disadvantage on their saving throw against that spell.

Once this feature causes a target to fail their saving throw you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

You have become an avatar of celestial beauty. Your enemies attack with uncertainty, fearful of damaging the wondrous being they behold. Upon reaching 17th level, when a creature targets you with an attack, you can use your reaction to force them to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, they must choose another target within range. If there is not available target then their attack misses or fails.

[Note: this subclass is likely not intended as official content: "For the curious, when building stuff for my own campaign I kind of don't care about balance. Anything I can break in design I can counterbreak five times as bad during a session, as needed. Plus, IMO stuff going sideways and weird is why I play the game."—Mike Mearls]

Beauty can both bend minds and inspire hearts. It is the force that compels others to lose control and give in to their impulses, but it can also awaken strength and determination to steel a forlorn heart.

Clerics of Beauty bring joy and hope to the world. They are the beacon of light that reminds us that some things are worth fighting for. They seek to bring peace and amity among the world's folk. They fight only when they must, and prefer to use their magic to end fights with as little bloodshed as possible.

At each indicated cleric level, you add the listed spells to your spells prepared.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to quell the flame of violence.

As an action, you force all creatures within 100 feet of you to make Charisma saving throws. Each creature that fails this saved is charmed by every other creature that also failed the saving throw. This benefit lasts for one hour. While charmed by this ability, creatures consider all other creatures charmed by it to be their allies. They fight to defend them from attackers.

While this ability persists, absent any threat creatures charmed by it will rest, talk among themselves, share stories of their lives, create a communal feast using food and drink they carry, and generally act as if they are old friends, long separated and brought together again for a joyous reunion.

Starting at 6th level, the temporary hit points granted by your Beauty's Refuge ability increase to 5 + your Charisma modifier (minimum 1).

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

Starting at 17th level, you become an avatar of unearthly beauty. Your enemies attack with uncertainty, fearful of damaging the wondrous being they behold, while your magic draws upon your presence to augment its power.

As a reaction, you can impose a penalty on a creature's attacks against you or on its saving throws against your spells and abilities. This benefit lasts until the end of the current turn The penalty equals your Charisma modifier (minimum 1).

The heady brew of fortitude, courage, and companionship is your nectar, and you share its blessings with those who need it.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to transform a container of nonmagical liquid into blessed brew; the number of doses equals 3 + your Wisdom modifier. Any special attributes the liquid previously had are negated. Anyone who imbibes one dose of this brew can choose one of the following benefits: advantage on Charisma-based skill checks, a +1 bonus to AC, or a +1 increase to the DC of saving throws against their castings of enchantment spells. This bonus lasts for 1 hour, leaving a warm buzz behind when it fades. A creature can benefit from only one dose of blessed brew between rests. An hour after creating blessed brew, the liquid turns into tasty, but mundane, beer.

Starting at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to aid and rally your allies. All friendly creatures within 30 feet of you who are frightened, paralyzed, poisoned, or stunned gain an immediate saving throw with advantage to remove the effect. Creatures that succeed on the saving throw also heal 2d6 hit points.

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with radiant energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 radiant damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

At 17th level, you gain resistance to cold, poison, and psychic damage.

The Black Powder domain focuses on the explosive, unpredictable, and destructive capacity of black powder. Deities with a vested interest in alchemy or deities who revel in destruction can claim influence over this domain. Deities of destruction need not be evil; such gods may represent natural chaos and destruction, reveling just as much in the unpredictable destructive capacity of black powder as in the chaotic destruction wrought by a volcanic eruption. In areas where warfare involves alchemical weapons or firearms, gods of war might also claim influence over this domain.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to harness the power of black powder, infusing it into the weapons of allies to make them more deadly, or revoke your god's blessing, lessening the effects of enemy firearms.

As an action, you present your holy symbol and evoke explosive energy that instills your Gunpowder Blessing on one weapon possessed by each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you for 1 minute.

Alternatively, you can curse a number of weapons with the gunpowder weapon property equal to your proficiency bonus within 30 feet of you for 1 minute. Each affected weapon loses the ability to experience a burst for the duration. A remove curse spell cast on the weapon restores its full function.

Beginning at 6th level, you can imbue an object you are holding or carrying with explosive power. The object must be nonmagical and small enough to fit in one hand, such as a glass vial or a ball bearing. As a bonus action, you can expend a 1st-level spell slot to fill the item with explosive power for 1 minute. Before the duration ends, you can use an action to throw the object at a point you can see up to 20 feet away, where it explodes on impact. Each creature within 5 feet of that point must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 2d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. This damage can experience bursts, as described in the gunpowder weapon property, but this effect counts as a single effect for the purposes of determining how many times the damage can burst, regardless of the number of targets affected.

If you expend a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st. If you expend a use of your Channel Divinity as part of the action to throw the object, each creature within 20 feet of the point of impact must make the saving throw. If you don't throw the object before the duration ends, the magic fades, and the item becomes a normal object once again.

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 fire damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Starting at 17th level, you can imbue explosive power into larger objects with your Explosive Infusion. The target must be an object that isn't being worn or carried at the time you imbue it, must be no larger than can fit in a single 5-foot cube, and must be nonmagical. Your infusion fills the object with explosive power for 10 minutes. Before the duration ends, you can detonate the object as an action, provided you are within 100 feet of it. Alternatively, you can detonate the object as a reaction to a specific event (a particular creature or certain number of creatures move within 20 feet of the object, for example), or you can set a specific time for the object to detonate, up to 10 minutes from the time at which you infused the object. If you set the object to detonate at a specific time, you don't need to be within 100 feet of the object for it to detonate.

When the object detonates, each creature within 20 feet of the object must make the saving throw. If you expend a use of your Channel Divinity when you first imbue the object, each creature in the area when it detonates has disadvantage on the saving throw. At any point before the object detonates, you can touch it as an action to disperse the energy and cause it to become a normal object once again, regaining the spell slot you expended to infuse the object.

The Blizzard Domain encompasses all things cold, from the raging snowstorm to the smallest ice cube. Gods of this domain include many gods of storm, destruction, and even the sea. Many of these gods are worshipped by mortals dwelling in arctic regions, such as the Frozenfar of Faerûn and the Frostfell of Eberron, in hopes that their favor will protect towns and camps from the destructive power of a raging ice storm. See the Blizzard Deities table for a list of some of the gods associated with this domain.

You can use your Channel Divinity to freeze your enemies in their tracks. As an action, you present your holy symbol, and each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 2d8 + #$prompt_number:min=2,max=20,title=Enter your cleric level,default=2$#|2d8 + your cleric level|Channel Divinity: Cold Front cold damage and has its speed reduced by half until the end of your next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half damage and suffers no additional effects.

The pure, biting cold you wield becomes more potent. Cold damage dealt by your cleric spells and Channel Divinity options ignores resistance to cold damage.

You add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

You have learned to wield the full power of a raging snowstorm. You gain immunity to cold damage and resistance to fire damage. Additionally, cold damage dealt by your cleric spells and Channel Divinity options treats immunity to cold damage as resistance.

The Blood domain asserts that the ultimate divinity does not lie with the gods, but with the blood that sustains all living creatures. Seekers of the divinity within value mortal power above all, work to sustain life and the community, and aim to avoid death at all costs. Acolytes following the principles of this domain often have a complex relationship with the undead; intelligent undead may be pitied or hated for having lost their spark of the divine, or they may be venerated as tragic heroes having made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of the faith. Deities of any alignment are unlikely to claim influence over this subversive domain. Instead, it is typified by anti-theistic faiths such as the Blood of Vol.

Starting at 2nd level, you have learned to steal the lifeblood of those who do not deserve its blessing.

When you deal necrotic damage to a creature, you can use your Channel Divinity to restore hit points to yourself or to one willing creature within 30 feet. The number of hit points you restore is equal to half the amount of necrotic damage you dealt (rounded down). If you dealt necrotic damage to multiple creatures, the amount of hit points you restore is determined by the damage you dealt to only one target.

Starting at 6th level, you can reclaim the divinity of your blood from your enemies and distribute it amongst the faithful. When you take damage, you may use your reaction to cause creatures of your choice within 30 feet to gain temporary hit points equal to half your cleric level (rounded down).

You may use this ability a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

At 17th level, you have harnessed the power the of Divinity Within in its ultimate form. When you drink the blood of a creature that has been killed within 1 hour (or that has been magically preserved, for example using a gentle repose spell), your body does not age for one year. In addition, you are immune to disease, poison damage and the poisoned condition for that period.

Developed in Wildemount by the Claret Orders, the Blood Domain centers around the understanding of the natural life force as it exists within the body, and the divine conduit it can become. Those who take up this domain understand that the power of blood is the power of sacrifice, the balance of life and death, and the spirit's anchor within the mortal shell.

Gods who grant the power of the Blood Domain, including The Ruiner and The Matron of Ravens, direct their followers to tap into the connection between body and soul, exploit the hidden reserves of will within one's own vitality, and corrupt the bodies of others through the secret rites of hemocraft. Clerics of good gods use hemocraft to fill their self-sacrifice with purpose and power, while clerics with fewer morals use the blood of others to achieve their own malevolent ends.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to form a supernatural bond with a creature you can see, or with a creature for which you possess a blood sample. This bond lasts for 1 hour or until your concentration is broken (as if concentrating on a spell).

While the bond is in effect, you can use an action to learn the target's approximate distance and direction from you, as well as its current hit points and any conditions affecting it, as long as the target is within 10 miles of you. Alternatively, you can use your action to attempt to connect with the target's senses. You take 2d6 necrotic damage and the target makes a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a successful save, the bond ends. On a failure, you can choose to either see or hear through the target's senses for a number of minutes equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1 minute). During this time, you are blinded or deafened (respectively) with regard to your own senses. When the connection ends, the bond is lost.

Regardless of the outcome, the target feels a wave of unease pass over it when it makes this save.

Starting at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to briefly control a creature's actions—whether that creature is living or dead. As an action, you target a Large or smaller creature or corpse within 60 feet of you that has blood. A creature you target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or become charmed by you. An unconscious creature automatically fails its saving throw, and isn't incapacitated while you control its actions. A corpse targeted by this effect gains a semblance of life that you control.

On the affected creature or animated corpse's turn, you can command it (no action required) to move up to half its speed and use its action to do one of the following:

An animated corpse or an unconscious creature takes its turn immediately after yours, but can't move or take actions unless you command it to do so. Its statistics are the same as when it was alive or conscious.

An affected living creature makes a new saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. For any target, your control lasts for 1 minute or until your concentration is broken (as if concentrating on a spell).

At 6th level, you can sacrifice a portion of your own vitality to recover expended spell slots as an action. The spell slots can have a combined level equal to or less than half your cleric level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher. You take 1d8 necrotic damage for each spell slot level recovered, which can't be reduced in any way. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

For example, if you're an 8th-level cleric, you can recover up to four levels of spell slots—a single 4th-level slot, two 2nd-level slots, a 3rd-level slot and a 1st-level slot, or four 1st-level slots. You then take 4d8 necrotic damage.

At 8th level, you gain the ability to cause the physical wounds you deal out to bleed profusely. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage to the target.

When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

At 17th level, you can use this feature to target a Huge or smaller creature or corpse.

At 17th level, you can use your action to emit a deathly aura of necrotic energy that causes the veins of nearby foes to burst and bleed. For 1 minute, any hostile creature with blood that moves within 30 feet of you for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there takes 3d6 necrotic damage. If a hostile creature with blood regains hit points while in the aura, it regains only half as many hit points as expected.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

The gods of blood are patrons of all varieties of slaughter—including war, battle, murder, and even hunting—and accept any shedding of blood as an offering to their domain. They are the patrons of warriors, particularly those of a more chaotic disposition. While many clerics that follow a blood deity resemble deranged, blood-thirsty cultists, others are comparable to the followers of particularly violent war deities. Examples of the deities of this domain are Bhaal, the Lord of Murder, and Shezmu, the Lord of Blood.

(2nd-level Blood Domain feature)

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to sap the life of nearby creatures, using their vitality to heal a portion of your wounds.

As an action, you present your holy symbol, and each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes necrotic damage equal to 1d8 + half your cleric level on a failed saving throw, and half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that has total cover from you is not affected. You regain hit points equal to the damage dealt, up to a maximum of three times your cleric level.

(6th-level Blood Domain feature)

Starting at 6th level, you can augment your healing spells through sacrifice. When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that restores hit points, you can choose one creature within 15 feet of you that the spell affected. You spend a number of your hit points, and that creature regains additional hit points equal to the amount you spent, plus temporary hit points equal to half that amount. The temporary hit points last until the start of your next turn.

The number of hit points you spend can't exceed the amount of hit points restored to the target by the triggering spell.

(8th-level Blood Domain feature)

At 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any Cleric cantrip.

(17th-level Blood Domain feature)

Beginning at 17th level, the dark magic you cast can cause deep, gushing wounds to appear on the body of an affected creature. When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that deals necrotic damage or has the hemomancy tag, you can force one creature that took damage from the spell to make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature is wounded for 1 minute. The wound ends early if the creature receives magical healing, uses their action to staunch the wound, or if you use this feature again.

While the wound lasts, the wounded creature takes 1d10 necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns, and it has disadvantage on saving throws against any spell that deals necrotic damage or has the hemomancy tag.

Originally developed in Wildemount by the Claret Orders, the Blood domain centers around the understanding of the natural life force within one's own physical body. The power of blood is the power of sacrifice, the balance of life and death, and the spirit's anchor within the mortal shell. The Gods of Blood seek to tap into the connection between body and soul through divine means, exploit the hidden reserves of will within one's own vitality, and even manipulate or corrupt the body of others through these secret rites of crimson. Almost any neutral or evil deity can claim some influence over the secrets of blood magic and this domain, while the gods who watch from more moral realms shun its use beyond extenuating circumstance.

When casting divine spells as a Blood Domain cleric, consider ways to occasionally flavor your descriptions to tailor the magic's effect on the opponent's blood and vitality. Hold person might involve locking a target's body into place from the blood stream out, preventing them from moving. Cure wounds may feature the controlling of blood like a needle and thread to close lacerations. Guardian of Faith could be a floating, crimson spirit of dripping viscera who watches the vicinity with burning red eyes. Have fun with the themes!

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to briefly control a creature's actions against their will.

As an action, you target a Large or smaller creature that has blood within 60 feet of you. That creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC or immediately move up to half of their movement in any direction of your choice and make a single weapon attack against a creature of your choice within range. Dead or unconscious creatures automatically fail their saving throw.

Starting at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to focus on a sample of blood from a creature that is at least 2 ounces, and that has been spilt no longer than a week ago. As an action, you can focus on the blood of the creature to form a bond and gain information about their current circumstances. You know their approximate distance and direction from you, as well as their general state of health, as long as they are within 10 miles of you. You can maintain Concentration on this bond for up to 1 hour.

During your bond, you can spend an action to attempt to connect with the bonded creature's senses. The target makes a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. If they succeed, the connection is resisted, ending the bond. You suffer 2d6 necrotic damage. Upon a failed saving throw, you can choose to either see through the eyes of or hear through their ears of the target for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1). During this time, you are blind or deaf (respectively) with regard to your own senses. Once this connection ends, the Crimson Bond is lost.

At 8th level, you can sacrifice a portion of your own vitality to recover expended spell slots. As an action, you recover spell slots that have a combined level equal to or less than half of your cleric level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher. You immediately suffer 1d6 damage per spell slot level recovered. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

For example, if you're a 4th-level Cleric, you can recover up to two levels of spell slots. You can recover either a 2nd-level spell slot or two 1st-level spell slots. You then suffer 2d6 damage

At 17th level, you can emit a powerful aura as an action that extends 30 feet out from you that pulses necrotic energy through the veins of nearby foes, causing them to burst and bleed. For 1 minute, any enemy creatures with blood that begin their turn within the aura or enter it for the first time on their turn immediately suffer 2d6 necrotic damage. Any enemy creature with blood that would regain hit points while within the aura only regains half of the intended number of hit points (rounded up).

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Blood magic is one of the most ancient forms of divine power. Clerics that serve gods of this Domain draw upon the primal power of life-blood to perform great and terrible feats. When there are no creatures from which to draw life-blood, these Clerics must sacrifice their own vitality to work their magic. Blood Clerics most often serve gods that revel in suffering, but some wield this ancient power to serve noble ends.

Drawing on the primal magic of life-blood, they become terrible warriors who strike fear into the hearts of their foes.

At 2nd level, you gain access to this Channel Divinity. As an action, you can curse a target within 60 feet, as long as it has blood in its veins, forcing it to make Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it is restrained for 1 minute as its blood congeals in its body. It can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

Starting at 6th level, the magic of your Bloodwell rebukes those who strike you. When a creature deals damage to your Bloodwell with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to force the attacker to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, they take 2d10 necrotic damage.

You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Beginning at 8th level, your god imbues your weapon attacks with their divine wrath. Once on each of your turns, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Your god has show you the dark techniques necessary to draw power from death. Starting at 17th level, when you kill a creature with a necromancy spell of 2nd-level or higher, you can use your reaction to regain one of your expended spell slots. The spell slot you recover must be at least one level lower then the spell you cast to kill the creature.

There is divine blessing in the fruits of nature, but nowhere is this most pronounced than through fermentation. Gods whose portfolios include the Brewing domain—including Aegir, Azul, Chauntea, Dionysus, Lliira, Sharess, Sucellus, Vergadain, Wenta, and Yondalla—offer enlightenment through the power of alcohol.

Clerics with the brewing domain bring the knowledge of fermentation to the people; offering not only a safe beverage, but enlightenment through intoxication. True followers find joy and courage through drink and hear the words of their deity through consumption of this holy beverage.

In some pantheons this domain might be reflavored to include the fermentation of grape, honey, or another sugar source besides grain.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your channel divinity to intoxicate your enemies, making them less effective in combat.

As an action, you hoist your holy symbol while singing a boisterous song. Each enemy that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it becomes intoxicated and is poisoned for 1 minute. A poisoned creature may attempt another saving throw at the end of each of its turns to rid itself of the condition.

Beginning at 6th level, when you or a creature within 30 feet of you takes poison damage, you can use your reaction to grant resistance to poison against that instance of poison damage.

In addition, you cannot become intoxicated unless you choose to.

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

Starting at 17th level, when you use your Liquid Courage, you can imbue an additional effect into the brew you create.

Cleansing Brew. The brew cleanses one disease, curse, or condition afflicting a creature that imbibes the brew.

Nectar of the Gods. When drinking the imbued brew, a creature attains a state of divine inebriation where all things begin to become clear. The creature may ask a single question that can be answered with a yes or no answer. The creature always receives a correct answer for the question.

The divine connection of the brew isn't always clear however, so the creature might receive an 'unclear' response if the question pertains to information beyond its deity's knowledge or if the creature is too drunk to comprehend its logic. There is a 50% chance the player receives an 'unclear' answer due to their own misunderstanding.

Clerics that revere the meditative toll of bells are practitioners of the carillon domain. Typically bellringers, parishioners, or pilgrims, clerics of this domain are equally devoted to all places of worship and interpret deities through the temple bells that sing their praise. They understand the power that bells hold as holy creations responsible for decreeing time, warning the innocent, and mourning the loss of those who pass on. Through bells, these clerics can rally the good and condemn the wicked, all while wordlessly proclaiming their reverence of the divine. While no specific deities are likely to claim ownership of this domain, each is as likely as the next to empower these clerics with their blessing in exchange for their proselytizing and sounding of the bells in their name.

Starting at 2nd level, when a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you is reduced to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to emit a foretelling death knell from it, using your Channel Divinity. The death knell is audible out to a range of 10 feet, and each creature of your choice that can hear it must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is frightened of the triggering target (or whatever is left of it) until the end of its next turn. A frightened creature is incapacitated for the duration as it contemplates its own mortality. Each time the creature takes damage, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.

When you reach 17th level in this class, the death knells audible range increases to 30 feet.

Starting at 6th level, you can use a bonus action to emit a faint, divine ringing that lasts for 1 minute, like a bell tolling noon. When you use this feature, a resonant wave emanates from you thats audible out to a range of 10 feet. The sound of the wave and its effect depends on the creature that hears it. A friendly creature that hears the sound (including yourself ) can immediately make a saving throw against one effect on it thats causing it to be charmed or frightened, as the wave rings with a divine clarity. A hostile creature that hears the sound takes an amount of psychic damage equal to your proficiency bonus, as it wails with a dreadful tone instead.

For the duration, you can use a bonus action on each of your subsequent turns to send out the wave again. When you reach 17th level in this class, the waves audible range increases to 30 feet.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 thunder damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

By 17th level, you are immune to thunder damage and can not be deafened. In addition, while your Holy Clangor is active, you have blindsight out to its audible range, and you automatically emit its divine wave when you take bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage for the first time since the start of your last turn.

You embody the grace, strength, and resilience of felines. Eventually, you become able to transform physically into a lion or tiger.

At 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to add a +10 bonus to any Dexterity ability or skill check made by you or someone you designate within 30 feet.

Beginning at 6th level, you gain darkvision with a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision, the range extends to 90 feet.

At 17th level, you become a natural lycanthrope of the weretiger or werelion type, whichever is appropriate to your deity. See 'Player Characters as Lycanthropes' in the standard rules on werewolves for details. You cannot spread the disease of lycanthropy.

The gods of the Cataclysm Domain are those that rule over the primal elements of stone and flame. The deities of this Domain are nearly always chaotic in nature, and they revel in the destruction caused by their chosen clerics.

At 2nd level, you gain this Channel Divinity option. When you deal fire or bludgeoning damage, you can use this Channel Divinity to deal maximum damage, instead of rolling.

Beginning at 6th level, when you deal bludgeoning or fire damage to a Large or smaller creature, you can cover that creature in volcanic slag, reducing their movement speed by 10 feet until the start of your next turn. A creature can use its action to touch the target scrape the slag off a target early.

A creature covered in slag cannot take reactions.

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 fire or bludgeoning damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage becomes 2d8.

Upon reaching 17th level, you are imbued with the power of stone and flame. You gain resistance to both fire damage and nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

Additionally, you are immune to both fire and bludgeoning damage from any spell you cast of 1st-level or higher.

In the sacred bonds between the divine and mortal realms, there exist enigmatic clerics pledged to serve deities of typically evil influence. Among them, the Chain Domain clerics stand as devoted mediators, seeking to harness or redirect the selfish whims of their deity in unconventional ways. These clerics perceive themselves as intermediaries, embracing chains as tools for guidance, understanding, and, at times, restraint. They aim to navigate the tumultuous relationship with their enigmatic deity, weaving the chains as symbols of both connection and potential liberation, in pursuit of channeling their deity's influence toward a tempered purpose.

Many of these clerics are considered intense by outsiders, and they may even be reformed cultists or regularly engage in fiendish contracts. And, while pious self-flagellation is never a requirement among clerics of this domain, it is nevertheless a common practice.

You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Chain Domain Spells table. See the Divine Domain class feature for how domain spells work.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to bind your foes with divine power.

As a bonus action, you present your holy symbol and conjure spectral chains that wrap around a creature you can see within 30 feet of you. That creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be restrained by the chains for 1 minute or until you end the effect (no action required). At the end of each of its turns, the target can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Starting at 6th level, when you take the Attack action on your turn and hit a grappled or restrained creature, you can immediately make an additional attack against the target as part of the same action. Alternatively, if you grapple a creature using your Repentant Chains feature, you can immediately make this additional attack against the target as part of the bonus action to use that feature. You don't gain these benefits if you already have the Extra Attack feature.

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

At 17th level, any weapon you're holding has the reach property, as divine chains lengthen or stretch the weapon with each attack. This version of the reach property adds 15 feet to your normal reach, instead of 5. If you make an attack against a grappled creature, you have advantage on the attack roll.

Whenever a creature fails the saving throw against either your Repentant Chains or Bind the Faithless feature, that creature immediately takes bludgeoning damage from the chains equal to half your cleric level.

What is life but a series of changes, one after another? Clerics of change believe that the current moment could be the thing to change everything, the first step on the journey of a lifetime, the single spark that starts a revolution. Most serve gods of chaos, skilled trades, and travel, especially the Traveler. However, anyone seeking inspiration or pursuing change could find value in it, whether an adept of Onatar pursuing magical innovation or a skilled con artist with utter confidence in their skills.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to force foes to redirect their attacks. When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll against you or casts a spell that targets only you, you can use your reaction to brandish your holy symbol and cause the creature to make a Wisdom saving throw against your cleric spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature must instead target another creature of your choice that is within range of the attack or spell. If there is not another creature within range, this ability fails. You must choose to use this feature before you make a saving throw or know whether the attack against you hits or misses.

At 6th level, you can draw upon chaotic energy to shield you with but a thought. As a reaction when are attacked or you make a saving throw, you can impose disadvantage to all attacks rolls against you, and you have advantage on all saving throws. This effect lasts until the end of your next turn.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

At 17th level, you add the following to your list of domain spells: maze, prismatic spray, scatter, and true polymorph. As domain spells, they are always prepared and count as cleric spells for you.

Only worshiped by the most unhinged devotees, or believers in pure anarchy, gods (and other entities) of Chaos, care little for the wellbeing of their followers. Their desires are often incomprehensible to mortals, and for the clerics who access the power that comes with from the Chaos Domain, it is only a matter of time before they are overtaken by insanity. These strange acolytes spread discord and chaos wherever they go.

At 2nd level, you gain this additional Channel Divinity option. As an action on your turn, you can grasp your holy symbol and force a creature within 30 feet to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the madness of your god infects their mind, and they are incapacitated for up to 1 minute. While incapacitated, they spend their turn babbling incoherently, and use their movement to move in a random direction.

At the end of each turn, the creature can repeat the saving throw, ending this effect on a successful save.

At 6th level, you gain this additional Channel Divinity option. When you are forced to make an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw, you can use this Channel Divinity as a reaction, forcing another creature of your choice within 30 feet to make the saving throw in your place. It then suffers the effects of the spell as if it had been the original target.

The madness festering within your own mind empowers your cantrips. Starting at 8th level, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

You are a conduit for Chaos to enter the world. Beginning at 17th level, when a creature that you can see within 60 feet targets you with an attack, you can use your reaction to force them to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, they attack a target of your choice within the range of their attack.

You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Gods of Civilization—including Amaunator, Erastil, and Athena—concern themselves with the ideals of communities and laws. They oversee the construction of towns, cities, and empires. Devouts of Civilization are leaders of small villages and sprawling metropolises, they are pioneers and settlers, taming the wilds in the name of order and society. Whether grand cathedrals or humble abbies, the gathering places of followers of Civilization gods tend to become the centers of communities.

Starting at 2nd level, level, you can use your Channel Divinity to share beneficial magic with a traveling companion.

When you cast a spell targeting a single friendly creature, you can use your Channel Divinity to target a second friendly creature (including yourself) in range with the same spell. To be eligible, a spell must be incapable of targeting more than one creature at the spell's current level.

At 6th level, you can tether yourself to a creature using your soul. As an action, you can expend 2 sorcery points to tether yourself to a willing creature within 15 feet of you for up to 1 minute. Your soul remains in that creature's space for the duration, regardless of distance. While you are tethered, whenever that creature takes damage you can use your reaction to reduce the damage they take by half your Sorcerer level, and whenever it deals damage you can use your reaction to increase damage dealt by half your Sorcerer level. You can end this effect as a bonus action.

In addition, you learn to further utilise the strong bond between you and your soul. You can expend 1 sorcery point as a bonus action on your turn to teleport to your soul's location if it is in an unoccupied space. You can still take this bonus action while using Projection.

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 radiant damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Starting at 17th level, you gain the ability to prepare the teleport spell, which counts as a cleric spell for you. You treat your familiarity with the destination as very familiar, unless it is a false destination.

Additionally, any creatures you teleport (via any means, not just teleport) are granted the effects of a freedom of movement spell for 1 minute after arriving at their destination.

Rava, the Goddess of Gear, has blessed her followers with unusual powers, but she is not the only being in the multiverse that can grant the clockwork domain. Historical gods of blacksmiths such as Hephaestus/Vulcan, Govannon, or Gu can serve as patrons, as can mortals-turned-gods renowned for their engineering skill, like Daedalus. The emergence of clockworks in a society represents both a shift in magic and in thought, and the clockwork powers seek careful, dedicated, and unrelenting followers. They are guardians of order, progress, and industry. Some, the followers of evil gods, seek to grind everything under the ceaseless cogs of might, while followers of neutral or good clockwork gods seek instead to shape society under the belief that all benefit when everything works in harmony.

At 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to bring constructs under your control. As an action, you can compel one construct you can see within 30 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw against your cleric spell save DC. If the saving throw fails, the construct becomes friendly to you and obeys your commands for 1 minute or until it takes damage from you or one of your allies. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the duration is extended to 1 hour, until you use this ability again, or until the construct takes damage from you or one of your allies. When the effect ends, the construct is aware that it was magically controlled by you.

At 6th level, spells you use that heal or repair damage to clockwork creatures, objects, or constructs restore the maximum possible hit points.

Beginning at 8th level, you can designate one construct that you control to serve as a channel for your divine magic. You can cast spells on that creature that normally only target yourself. Also, you can deliver touch spells through your designated construct. These abilities work only if the construct is within 60 feet of you.

Beginning at 17th level, you can use your action to merge with a construct you control for 1 minute. Doing so restores you hit points, but not other class features, as if you had a long rest. For the duration, you gain all the immunities and qualities of the construct, and you can cast spells, use class features, and communicate normally even if the construct would not be able to do so. You cannot use this feature again until you have completed a long rest.

Clerics, priests, and shamans living in the harsh environments of the arctic tundra must work with the tools at their disposal. Those tools are, more often than not, bitter cold, driving snow, wicked ice, hunger, and darkness. The gods of cold represent the harshness and fragility of life on the edges of civilization and on the bleakness of freezing dark. The clerics of cold sometimes venerate that brutality and darkness, while others bow to the powers of cold as a way to respect them while holding the darkness and death at bay like the borealis lights the way

The gods most associated with the cold domain are those representing the elements or storms, those associated with the season of winter, or those whose uncaring natures are synonymous with death and undoing. In the Forgotten Realms, Auril, the Frostmaiden and the Goddess of Winter, is the deity most closely associated with cold. The frost giant god, Thrym, has a large, icy foot firmly in the cold domain, as does Ulutiu, a forefather of the giant pantheon that held sway over glaciers, polar environs, and creatures that dwell in the arctic.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to turn your body into chilling ice. As an action, you can turn your flesh into ice as hard as plate armor for 1 minute. Your armor class becomes 18, and a creature that hits you with a melee attack takes 1d6 cold damage. This damage becomes 3d6 cold damage at 11th level.

Starting at 6th level, your ability to tap into the absolute cold of the elemental planes becomes more potent. Cold damage dealt by your cleric spells and Channel Divinity options ignores resistance to cold damage. Additionally, creatures immune to cold damage are only resistant to your cold spells.

At 8th level, when you deal cold damage to a creature, its speed is reduced by 10 feet until the start of your next turn.

Starting at 17th level, your affinity to and control of cold becomes more powerful:

The gods of commerce oversee the trade of goods and services. These deities understand that business lubricates the gears of society and keeps everything running smoothly. Some gods see commerce as a force which must be regulated so that all may benefit from fair trade. Other gods see it as a competition, where the accrual of wealth and power are the goal. In the cutthroat world of megacorporations and massive economic inequality, the latter deities often hold greater sway.

Clerics of these gods put great stock in the open market and the true value of all things. A cleric's station may range from the lowly accountant with dreams of starting their own business, to a ruthless mid-level executive looking to climb the ranks into the executive boardroom, or they may just be a rogue economist trying to bring balance to the commercial world.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to exchange vital energy in a way that is profitable and beneficial for all.

As an action, you present your holy symbol, choose up to six willing creatures (which can include yourself) within 30 feet of you. Each creature can spend one or more Hit Dice to cause one other creature affected by this Channel Divinity to regain an equal amount of spent Hit Dice.

Additionally, until the end of your next turn, each creature can spend a hit die on its turn (no action required) if it is not incapacitated. The creature rolls the Hit Dice and regains hit points equal to the die roll + the creature's Constitution modifier + your cleric level.

Starting at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to make a transaction for goods on the sacred market.

As a bonus action, you can magically create a nonliving object you've seen before in your empty hand or in an empty space within 5 feet of you. The object can be no larger than a 3-foot cube and its credit value can't be worth more than 6,000 times your cleric level. The DM decides if a specific item can be created in this manner, and its value.

The object vanishes after 1 hour unless you magically spend an amount of credits you're carrying equal to its value when you use this Channel Divinity. The object cannot be used as the material component for a spell unless you spend credits for it in this manner first.

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

At 17th level, you can liquidate your vast supply of divine energy when you need it most. Once per turn, when you cast a spell on your turn that deals damage, you can expend one spell slot to deal additional damage to one target of the spell. The extra damage is 1d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than the 1st, to a maximum of 4d8.

Alternatively, once per turn, when you cast a spell on your turn that restores hit points, you can expend one spell slot to restore additional hit points to one target of the spell. The creature regains an extra 1d8 hit points for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than the 1st, to a maximum of 4d8.

The Commerce domain values trade, proper management of resources, and entrepreneurship above all else, believing a healthy economy is the best path to create a more perfect world. Gods of commerce and trade — including Gond, Kol Korran, and Waukeen — promote enterprise and the development of marketable crafts and skills. Some clerics of this domain, however, eschew the worship of gods to instead focus their faith on the almighty coin, believing that wealth is the best resource for enacting lasting change and living long, happy, and healthy lives.

Regardless of what gods, or lack thereof, clerics of this domain worship, they are always on the hunt for the best deal, and travel the planes marketing their talents as healers and appraisers. In larger cities, temples of Commerce are often found offering a variety of services: from the standard spellcasting services of healing and revival, to the exchange of goods and coin, to the selling of magical tinctures, to high-risk venture capitalist groups in which others can invest their money.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to bribe a creature into changing the way it attacks. When a hostile creature you can see within 30 feet makes an attack against you or one of your allies, you can use your reaction to cause 5 gp to appear at the creature's feet. If the creature can see the gold, it changes the target of the attack to another target of your choice within range of the attack, other than itself. If there are no other valid targets within range, the creature loses the attack.

This feature has no effect on creatures that are immune to the charmed condition, or that place no value in gold or money, such as creatures of Intelligence 4 or lower.

Once you reach 6th level, whenever you cast a spell requiring a specific material component with an indicated cost, you can expend a number of coins you possess with net worth equal to half the indicated cost, instead of presenting the component.

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

Starting at 17th level, you can use your Instant Gratification an unlimited number of times.

Additionally, as an action, you can magically transform a number of coins you're touching into a potion you've tasted worth an amount equal to or less than the net worth of the coins you transform. You use half the minimum values (rounded up) in the Magic Item Rarity table in Chapter 7 of the Dungeon Master's Guide to determine how much a potion of a given rarity is worth. For example, you can transform 51 or more gp into a potion of uncommon rarity, such as a potion of greater healing.

This feature has no effect on objects or coins belonging to an unwilling creature.

The number of existing potions you created with this feature cannot exceed your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1). If you create a potion beyond this number, another potion of your choice that you created this way expires and becomes inert.

The community domain focuses on the ties that bind all people together. These are the ties of family and friendship, the ties to ancestors, as well as the ties between elders and the next generation with whom they share their wisdom. The power of the Gods of community is in the security of home and hearth, and the joy of good company. Many such gods teach the value of tradition and simple ways of living in harmony with the natural world. They also tend towards the rule of law, not as a kind of great bureaucracy, but as sacred traditions passed from generation to generation. Some gods advocate the removal of harsh or disruptive forces to this order, and proper sanctions for the violation of the goodwill that any community ought to provide.

Clerics of such gods value unity, and praise the strength that can be gained when people support each other.

Starting at 2nd level, you may use your Channel Divinity to conjure a magical feast for the rough road ahead. By spending 10 minutes, you may create a number of delicious, well-prepared, yet simple food items equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1). These food items will last up to 8 hours or until the end of a rest, and will never spoil. Eating food created in this way takes an action, providing whomever eats it with healing equal to 2d4 + your cleric level, and can remove either the frightened or poisoned condition from that creature (chosen by the creature when consumed).

Starting at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to instill a feeling of vigilant protection in you and your allies. You grant yourself and a number of allies, up to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1), a boon from your deity. Allies must be able to see you and be within 30 feet to receive the boon. Once per round, a creature benefitting from this boon can roll a d6, adding the result to a skill check, saving throw, or attack roll. This effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1 round). A creature can only benefit from this effect if it can see at least one of its allies.

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon with the power to punish wrongdoing. Once on each of your turns, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 psychic damage to the target. Visions of the evil they have wrought upon others flash before their eyes. You choose whether any foe reduced to 0 hit points by this attack remains stable or dies. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

At 17th level, your Community Watch grants an additional d6 to each affected ally. It also grants immunity to fear for the duration of the effect. Additionally, your Magnificent Feast produces twice as many foodstuffs, each of which can, when consumed, remove a single curse or disease affecting the target (including attunement to a cursed item).

Dogs that find their way into the worship of deities usually do so out of a desire to protect and aid others. Consequently they are drawn to pantheons whose ethos is one of protection, friendship and family. For such dogs, being stalwart friends and faithful companions is more than a cause; it is a calling from a higher realm.Some dogs who follow this path imagine canine deities sitting at the sides of the principal Gods. An example of such deities is the Good Mother; the principle locus for Awakened Canine faith and belief.

Starting at 2nd level you can use your Channel Divinity to reaffirm your allies' bonds.

As an action you present your Holy Symbol and evoke a positive energy which can heal and stir your allies. Choose any number of creatures within 30 feet. Each creature affected may gain temporary hit points equal to your cleric level.

At 6th level, you can inspire an ally to face down impossible odds and press on in the face of adversity.

As an action, you present your Holy Symbol and nominate one creature within 30 feet. It gains advantage on a saving throw type of your choosing. This effect lasts for one minute.

At 8th level you gain the ability to infuse your Bite attacks with the combined strength of your allies. Once in each of your turns when you hit a creature with a Bite attack, you can cause the attack to deal an additional 1d8 piercing damage. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

At 17th level you gain the ability to command other animals. While creatures are charmed by your Best Friends ability, you can take a bonus action on your turn to command what each of those creatures will do on their next turn.

Shepherds of their flocks and great orators, these clerics can heighten the potency of their prayers when others of their faith reinforce them. The congregation's strength is in numbers, and clerics who follow this domain almost never serve alone and are almost always found in at least pairs. Priests of the congregation can favor war or competence over battle might, but all are dedicated to leading large groups of worshippers, sharing faith, and lending a hand to their co-religionists.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to bolster your allies with toughness and resolve. As an action, you present your holy symbol and evoke healing energy that increases the hit point maximums and current hit points by your proficiency bonus x 5 for eight hours for all creatures you choose within 30 feet of you. This trait has no effect on undead or constructs.

Starting at 6th level, you can heighten your spells more effectively. If you cast a spell at a higher level that allows for additional creatures to be affected by your spell, you can use your Channel Divinity to make your spell affect two additional creatures per spell level instead of just one creature.

Starting at 8th level, you can aid multiple creatures in the completion of a task or allow a creature to make multiple attacks. When you take the Help action, an additional friendly creature within 5 feet of you gains advantage on the next ability check made to perform the task you are helping with, provided that the check is made before the start of your next turn. Alternatively, you can use your Help action to aid up to two friendly creatures in attacking a creature within 5 feet of you and if your allies attack the target before your next turn, all of their first attack rolls are made with advantage.

Starting at 17th level, you can make spells more potent if you or others ast the same spell in your presence. After you or an ally casts a spell, creatures targeted by the same spell cast by you or an ally gain disadvantage on the saving throw until the end of the turn. Additionally, if the spell requires a dice roll, you or allies can reroll 1s and 2s and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2.

Gods and faiths of corruption—including Tharizdun, the Shadow, and Cults of the Dragon Below—exist to warp and debase all around them in mind or body, or both. While usually evil, clerics of corruption oftenbelieve they are improving those whose lives they touch, and sometimes amass cults that willingly submit to the change they bring about.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to intensify effects that debase your foe's minds and bodies.

When you roll psychic or necrotic damage, you can use your Channel Divinity to deal maximum damage, instead of rolling.

At 6th level, when a creature within 30 feet of you makes a saving throw against a transmutation or enchantment effect, you can use your reaction to impose a penalty to the creature's save equal to the result of a 1d10 roll, using your Channel Divinity. You make this choice before the DM says whether the save succeeds or fails.

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 psychic damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Starting at 17th level, when you cast a transmutation spell of 1st through 5th level that targets only one creature, the spell can instead target two creatures within range and within 5 feet of each other. If the spell consumes its material components, you must provide them for each target.

Clerics of the cosmic domain (somtimes called Clerics of Spacetime) are a new addition to the varied pantheon of clerics that came about with the discovery of Arcana thousands of years ago. With that came understanding of the flow of time and the matter of cosmic space. Clerics of this domain the study of the rules of the cosmos, which by extension is the rule of the gods, as they created the cosmos we live in. This order of clerics attracts those drawn to knowledge and wonder, they may be the most travelled of the clerics, looking to document some of the worlds most weird and wonderful godly and arcane artefacts. The magic they have found with their deities is new, and some consider dangerous.

Clerics of the cosmic domain can be found side by side by wizards and sorcerers, understanding the way of the world and the magic that permeates through it. As a result, they are sometimes met with suspicion or animosity by clerics of more ancient traditions. Where they are welcome, Time and Space cleric are often known as great educators or sometimes even detectives, as they are most often driven to find the facts that are sometimes not evident to the layman.

2nd-level Cosmic Domain feature

You can use your Channel Divinity to slow time for an enemy for a brief moment. As an action, you can move up to your speed, without provoking opportunity attacks, and when you move within 5 feet of any other creature during this action, you can restore a number of hit points to that creature equal to 2d6 + your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1 hit point). A creature can receive this healing only once whenever you take this action.

6th-level Cosmic Domain feature

Your understanding of the folding of space in the cosmos helps protect your party just by them being in your presence. When a creature affected by your Cosmic Influence feature is about to take damage, a second bonded creature within 30 feet of the first can use its reaction to teleport to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the first creature. The second creature then takes all the damage instead.

8th-level Cosmic Domain feature

You add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

17th-level Cosmic Domain feature

The benefits of your Cosmic Influence and Fractal Bond features now work when the creatures are within 60 feet of each other. Moreover, when a creature uses Fractal Bond to take someone else's damage, the creature has resistance to that damage.

The Courage domain focuses on personal heroics, and acts of valor and self-sacrifice. While the Courage domain bears many similarities to the War domain, it is more individualistic and isn't directly connected to war. Clerics of this domain often take part in smaller conflicts, and focus on personal battles over grandois wars. Many war-like deities can claim influence over this domain, however, including Torm, Heironeous, Kiri-Jolith, Dol Arrah. Gods of endurance and loss, such as Ilmater and Shar, can claim some influence over this domain as well, as they promote courage in the face of hardship. Regardless of their patron deity, clerics of this domain make for heroic warriors, eager to face their fears and fight against the odds to achieve their goals.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to unleash a wave of divine energy that invigorates your allies and enervates your foes.

As an action, you present your holy symbol and invoke the name of your deity. Each friendly creature within 30 feet of you gains temporary hit points equal to 1d10 + half your cleric level, and each hostile creature within 30 feet of you takes force damage equal to 1d10 + half your cleric level. A creature that has total cover from you is not affected.

At 6th level, you become immune to the frightened condition.

Additionally, if you aren't incapacitated and start your turn with two or more hostile creatures within 5 feet of you, you gain temporary hit points equal to half your cleric level. A swarm counts as a single creature.

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 force damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Beginning at 17th level, your courage doubles down when you're fighting against the odds. If you start your turn below half your hit point maximum or with two or more hostile creatures within 5 feet of you, you become undaunted until the start of your next turn. While undaunted, you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks, and you can use Renewed Spirit without expending a use, even if you have already expended all of your uses of that feature.

Gods of creation—including Hephaestus, Gond, Onatar, and The Traveler—embody ideals of innovation, craftsmanship, skill. Clerics of creation see beauty in craftsmanship of many kinds, and most believe any creative endeavor is worthwhile. These clerics specifically look to constructs as perfect examples of achievements in ingenuity.

Starting at 2nd level, you use your Channel Divinity to utter a quick prayer, fortifying your armor and delivering you from harm. When you are attacked while wearing armor, you can use your Channel Divinity to gain a +10 bonus to your Armor Class against that attack. You make this choice after the attack hits, but before the DM describes the results of the attack (such as damage).

At 6th level, when a creature wearing armor within 30 feet of you is attacked, you can use your reaction to grant that creature a +10 bonus to their Armor Class against that attack, using Channel Divinity. You make this choice after the attack hits, but before the DM describes the results of the attack (such as damage).

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 damage to the target. This damage is either fire or radiant damage, whichever the target is least resistant to. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Starting at 17th level, you have the opportunity to create a singularly impressive magic item. If you have Inspiration, you may use it to spend one workweek of downtime to create a magic item of up to legendary rarity at no cost and without a schema or rare component. (Your DM has a list of appropriate magic items, such as those found in the Dungeon Master's Guide. You can also work with your DM to create a brand-new magic item.) You may only create one magic item this way; it is the ultimate sign of devotion to your god of creation.

If the Light Domain represents the beauty and joy of day and the Twilight Domain the calm and serenity of dusk, then the Darkness Domain represents the full submersion into unknowable night. Upholding the ideals of nihilism, secrecy, and self-reliance, clerics of darkness often reject their pride and material desires and instead focus on the pursuit of training and self-improvement. Acknowledging their insignificance in this world and yet refusing to fade away completely, clerics of darkness typically act as assassins, mercenaries, monster hunters, vigilantes, gatekeepers of knowledge, and other professions typically seen as "undesirable" or beyond the threshold of normal society.

Evil deities such as Lolth, Tenebrous, and Zehir are most known for being gods of darkness, but gods of trickery, illusion, or death, such as Mask, Sehanine, and The Raven Queen, may also extend their influence to the Darkness Domain. On a rare occassion, even a god of light might take on clerics of darkness, drawing on the power of the divine shadow they cast to create servants that can operate effectively in corners of the world that traditional clerics of light would normally avoid.
