# Cleric Arms and eyes upraised toward the sun and a prayer on his lips, an elf begins to glow with an inner light that spills out to heal his battle-worn companions. Chanting a song of glory, a dwarf swings his axe in wide swaths to cut through the ranks of ores arrayed against him, shouting praise to the gods with every foe's fall. Calling down a curse upon the forces of undeath, a human lifts her holy symbol as light pours from it to drive back the zombies crowding in on her companions. Clerics are intermediaries between the mortal world and the distant planes of the gods. As varied as the gods they serve, clerics strive to embody the handiwork of their deities. No ordinary priest, a cleric is imbued with divine magic. ### Healers and Warriors Divine magic, as the name suggests, is the power of the gods, flowing from them into the world. Clerics are conduits for that power, manifesting it as miraculous effects. The gods don't grant this power to everyone who seeks it, but only to those chosen to fulfill a high calling. Harnessing divine magic doesn't rely on study or training. A cleric might learn formulaic prayers and ancient rites, but the ability to cast cleric spells relies on devotion and an intuitive sense of a deity's wishes. Clerics combine the helpful magic of healing and inspiring their allies with spells that harm and hinder foes. They can provoke awe and dread, lay curses of plague or poison, and even call down flames from heaven to consume their enemies. For those evildoers who will benefit most from a mace to the head, clerics depend on their combat training to let them wade into melee with the power of the gods on their side. ### Divine Agents Not every acolyte or officiant at a temple or shrine is a cleric. Some priests are called to a simple life of temple service, carrying out their gods' will through prayer and sacrifice, not by magic and strength of arms. In some cities, priesthood amounts to a political office, viewed as a stepping stone to higher positions of authority and involving no communion with a god at all. True clerics are rare in most hierarchies. When a cleric takes up an adventuring life, it is usually because his or her god demands it. Pursuing the goals of the gods often involves braving dangers beyond the walls of civilization, smiting evil or seeking holy relics in ancient tombs. Many clerics are also expected to protect their deities' worshipers, which can mean fighting rampaging ores, negotiating peace between warring nations, or sealing a portal that would allow a demon prince to enter the world. Most adventuring clerics maintain some connection to established temples and orders of their faiths. A temple might ask for a cleric's aid, or a high priest might be in a position to demand it. \columnbreak ### Creating a Cleric As you create a cleric, the most important question to consider is which deity to serve and what principles you want your character to embody. Appendix 13 includes lists of many of the gods of the multiverse. Check with your DM to learn which deities are in your campaign. Once you've chosen a deity, consider your cleric's relationship to that god. Did you enter this service willingly? Or did the god choose you, impelling you into service with no regard for your wishes? How do the temple priests of your faith regard you: as a champion or a troublemaker? What are your ultimate goals? Does your deity have a special task in mind for you? Or are you striving to prove yourself worthy of a great quest? #### Quick Build You can make a cleric quickly by following these suggestions. First. Wisdom should be your highest ability score, followed by Strength or Constitution. Second, choose the acolyte background. ## Class Features As a cleric, you gain the following class features #### Hit Points ___ - **Hit Dice:** 1d8 per cleric level - **Hit Points at 1st Level:** 8 + your Constitution modifier - **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per cleric level after 1st #### Proficiencies ___ - **Armor:** Light armor, medium armor, shields - **Weapons:** All simple weapons - **Tools:** None ___ - **Saving Throws:** Wisdom, Charisma - **Skills:** Choose two from History, Insight, Medicine, Persuasion, and Religion #### Equipment You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background: - *(a)* a mace or *(b)* a warhammer (if proficient) - *(a)* scale mail, *(b)* leather armor, or *(c)* chain mail (if proficient) - *(a)* a light crossbow and 20 bolts or *(b)* any simple weapon - *(a)* a priest's pack or *(b)* an explorer's pack - A shield and a holy symbol \pagebreakNum <div class='classTable wide'> ##### The Cleric | Level | Proficiency Bonus | Features | Cantrips Known | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9th | |:---:|:---:|:---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| | 1st | +2 | Spellcasting, Divine Domain | 3 | 2 | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | | 2nd | +2 | Channel Divinity (1/rest), Divine Domain feature | 3 | 3 | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | | 3rd | +2 | - | 3 | 4 | 2 | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | | 4th | +2 | ASI/Feat, Prof. Versatility | 4 | 4 | 3 | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | | 5th | +3 | Destroy Undead (CR 1/2) | 4 | 4 | 3 | 2 | — | — | — | — | — | — | | 6th | +3 | Channel Divinity (2/rest), Divine Domain feature | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | — | — | — | — | — | — | | 7th | +3 | -| 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 1 | — | — | — | — | — | | 8th | +3 | ASI/Feat, Prof. Versatility, Destroy Undead (CR 1), Divine Domain feature | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | — | — | — | — | — | | 9th | +4 | -| 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | — | — | — | — | | 10th | +4 | Divine Intervention | 5 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | — | — | — | — | | 11th | +4 | Destroy Undead (CR 2)| 5 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 1 | — | — | — | | 12th | +4 | ASI/Feat, Prof. Versatility | 5 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 1 | — | — | — | | 13th | +5 | - | 5 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | — | — | | 14th | +5 | Destroy Undead (CR 3) | 5 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | — | — | | 15th | +5 | - | 5 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | — | | 16th | +5 | ASI/Feat, Prof. Versatility | 5 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | — | | 17th | +6 | Destroy Undead (CR 4), Divine Domain feature | 5 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | 18th | +6 | Channel Divinity (3/rest) | 5 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | 19th | +6 | ASI/Feat, Prof. Versatility | 5 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | 20th | +6 | Divine Intervention improvement | 5 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | </div> ### Spellcasting As a conduit for divine power. you can cast cleric spells. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the cleric spell list. #### Cantrips At 1st level, you know **the *Thaumaturgy* cantrip (this cantrip does not count against your cantrips known) and** three cantrips of your choice from the cleric spell list. You learn additional cleric cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Cleric table. #### Cantrip Versatility Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one cantrip you learned from this Spellcasting feature with another cantrip from the cleric spell list. \columnbreak #### Preparing and Casting Spells The Cleric table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of cleric spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the cleric spell list. When you do so, choose a number of cleric spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your cleric level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you are a 3rd-level cleric, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell *Cure Wounds*, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of cleric spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list. \pagebreakNum #### Ritual Casting You can cast a cleric spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared. #### Spellcasting Focus You can use a holy symbol (found in chapter 5) as a spellcasting focus for your cleric spells. #### Spellcasting Ability Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your cleric spells. The power of your spells comes from your devotion to your deity. You use your Wisdom whenever a cleric spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a cleric spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. **Spell save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier **Spell attack modifier** = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier ### Divine Domain Choose one domain related to your deity: * Arcana * Death * Forge * Grave * Knowledge * Life * Light * Nature * Order * Tempest * Trickery * War Each domain is detailed at the end of the class description, and each one provides examples of gods associated with it. Your choice grants you domain spells and other features when you choose it at 1st level. It also grants you additional ways to use Channel Divinity when you gain that feature at 2nd level, and additional benefits at 6th, 8th, and 17th levels. #### Domain Spells Each domain has a list of spells —its domain spells— that you gain at the cleric levels noted in the domain description. Once you gain a domain spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you have a domain spell that doesn't appear on the cleric spell list, the spell is nonetheless a cleric spell for you. ### Channel Divinity At 2nd level, you gain the ability to channel divine energy directly from your deity, using that energy to fuel magical effects. You start with two such effects: Turn Undead and an effect determined by your domain. Some domains grant you additional effects as you advance in levels, as noted in the domain description. When you use your Channel Divinity, you choose which effect to create. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Divinity again. Some Channel Divinity effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your cleric spell save DC. Beginning at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity twice between rests, and beginning at 18th level, you can use it three times between rests. When you finish a short or long rest, you regain your expended uses. #### Channel Divinity: Turn Undead As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. 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 move to 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, the creature can use the Dodge action. ### Ability Score Improvement / Feat When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. Alternatively, you can chose to take a Feat from one of the options found [here](https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LMhPMjnL5LIDK4kuOSw). ### Proficiency Versatility Whenever you gain the Ability Score Improvement feature from your class, you can also replace one of your skill proficiencies with a skill proficiency offered by your class at 1st level (the proficiency you replace needn’t be from the class). This change represents one of your skills atrophying as you focus on a different skill ### Destroy Undead Starting at 5th level, when an undead fails its saving throw against your Turn Undead feature, the creature is instantly destroyed if its challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold, as shown in the Destroy Undead table. ##### Destroy Undead | Cleric Level | Destroys Undead of CR... | |:---:|:-----------:| | 5th | 1/2 or lower | | 8th | 1 or lower | | 11th | 2 or lower | | 14th | 3 or lower | | 17th | 4 or lower | \pagebreakNum ### Divine Intervention Beginning at 10th level, you can call on your deity to intervene on your behalf when your need is great. Imploring your deity's aid requires you to use your action. Describe the assistance you seek, and roll percentile dice. If you roll a number equal to or lower than your cleric level, your deity intervenes. The. DM chooses the nature of the intervention; the effect of any cleric spell or cleric domain spell would be appropriate. If your deity intervenes, you can't use this feature again for 7 days. Otherwise, you can use it again after you finish a long rest. At 20th level, your call for intervention succeeds automatically, no roll required. \columnbreak ## Divine Domains In a pantheon, every deity has influence over different aspects of mortal life and civilization, called a deity's domain. All the domains over which a deity has influence are called the deity's portfolio. For example, the portfolio of the Greek god Apollo includes the domains of Knowledge, Life. and Light. As a cleric, you choose one aspect of your deity's portfolio to emphasize, and you are granted powers related to that domain. Your choice might correspond to a particular sect dedicated to your deity. Apollo, for example, could be worshiped in one region as Phoebus ("radiant") Apollo, emphasizing his influence over the Light domain. and in a different place as Apollo Acesius ("healing"), emphasizing his association with the Life domain. Alternatively, your choice of domain could simply be a matter of personal preference, the aspect of the deity that appeals to you most. Each domain's description gives examples of deities who have influence over that domain. Gods are included from the worlds of the Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Dragonlance, and Eberron campaign settings, as well as from the Celtic, Greek, Norse, and Egyptian pantheons of antiquity. \pagebreakNum ### Arcana Domain 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 WeeJas of Greyhawk. ##### Arcana Domain Features | Cleric Level | Feature | |:---:|:-----------| | 1st | Arcane Initiate, Domain Spells | | 2nd | Channel Divinity: Arcane Abjuration | | 6th | Spell Breaker | | 8th | Potent Spellcasting | | 17th | Arcane Mastery | #### Arcane Initiate When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency in the Arcana skill, and you gain two cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. For you, these cantrips count as cleric cantrips. #### Domain Spells You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Arcana Domain Spells table. See the Divine Domain class feature for how domain spells work. ##### Arcana Domain Spells | Cleric Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------:| | 1st | *Detect Magic, Magic Missile* | | 3rd | *Magic Weapon, Nystul's Magic Aura* | | 5th | *Dispel Magic, Magic Circle* | | 7th | *Arcane Eye, Leomund's Secret Chest* | | 9th | *Planar Binding, Teleportation Circle* | #### Channel Divinity: Arcane Abjuration 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 only use the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, 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 on the Arcane Banishment table. ##### Arcane Banishment | Cleric Level | Banishes Creatures of CR... | |:---:|:-----------:| | 5th | 1/2 or lower | | 8th | 1 or lower | | 11th | 2 or lower | | 14th | 3 or lower | | 17th | 4 or lower | #### Spell Breaker 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. #### Potent Spellcasting Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip. #### Arcane Mastery 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. \pagebreakNum ### Death Domain The Death domain is concerned with the forces that cause death, as well as the negative energy that gives rise to undead creatures. Deities such as Chemosh, Myrkul, and WeeJas are patrons of necromancers, death knights, liches, mummy lords, and vampires. Gods of the Death domain also embody murder (Anubi . Bhaal, and Pyremius), pain (Iuz or Loviatar), disease or poison (Incabulos, Talona, or Morgion), and the underworld (Hades and Hel). ##### Death Domain Features | Cleric Level | Feature | |:---:|:-----------| | 1st | Bonus Proficiency, Domain Spells, Reaper | | 2nd | Channel Divinity: Touch of Death | | 6th | Inescapable Destruction | | 8th | Divine Strike (1d8) | | 14th | Divine Strike (2d8) | | 17th | Improved Reaper | #### Bonus Proficiency When the cleric chooses this domain at 1st level, he or she gains proficiency with martial weapons. #### Domain Spells You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Death Domain Spells table. See the Divine Domain class feature for how domain spells work. ##### Death Domain Spells | Cleric Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------:| | 1st | *False Life, Ray of Sickness* | | 3rd | *Blindness/Deafness, Ray of Enfeeblement* | | 5th | *Animate Dead, Vampiric Touch* | | 7th | *Blight, Death Ward* | | 9th | *Antilife Shell, Cloudkill* | #### Reaper At 1st level, the cleric learns one necromancy cantrip of his or her choice from any spell list. When the cleric casts a necromancy cantrip that normally targets only one creature, the spell can instead target two creatures within range and within 5 feet of each other. \columnbreak #### Channel Divinity: Touch of Death Starting at 2nd level, the cleric can use Channel Divinity to destroy another creature's life force by touch. When the cleric hits a creature with a melee attack, the cleric can use Channel Divinity to deal extra necrotic damage to the target. The damage equals 5 + twice his or her cleric level. #### Inescapable Destruction Starting at 6th level, the cleric's ability to channel negative energy becomes more potent. Necrotic damage dealt by the character's cleric spells and Channel Divinity options ignores resistance to necrotic damage. #### Divine Strike 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. #### Improved Reaper Starting at 17th level, when the cleric casts a necromancy spell of 1st through 5th levle 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, the cleric must provide them for each target. \pagebreakNum ### Forge Domain The gods of the forge are patrons of artisans who work with metal, from a humble blacksmith who keeps a village in horseshoes and plow blades to the mighty elf artisan whose diamond-tipped arrows of mithral have felled demon lords. The gods of the forge teach that, with patience and hard work, even the most intractable metal can be transformed from a lump of ore to a beautifully wrought object. Clerics of these deities search for objects lost to the forces of darkness, liberate mines overrun by ores, and uncover rare and wondrous materials necessary to create potent magic items. Followers of these gods take great pride in their work, and they are willing to craft and use heavy armor and powerful weapons to protect them. Deities of this domain include Gond, Reorx, Onatar, Moradin, Hephaestus, and Goibhniu. ##### Forge Domain Features | Cleric Level | Feature | |:---:|:-----------| | 1st | Bonus Proficiency, Domain Spells, Blessings of the Forge | | 2nd | Channel Divinity: Artisan's Blessing | | 6th | Soul of the Forge | | 8th | Divine Strike (1d8) | | 14th | Divine Strike (2d8) | | 17th | Saint of Forge and Fire | #### Bonus Proficiency When the cleric chooses this domain at 1st level, he or she gains proficiency with heavy armor and smith's tools. #### Domain Spells You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Forge Domain Spells table. See the Divine Domain class feature for how domain spells work. ##### Forge Domain Spells | Cleric Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------:| | 1st | *Identify, Searing Smite* | | 3rd | *Heat Metal, Magic Weapon* | | 5th | *Elemental Weapon, Protection from Energy* | | 7th | *Fabricate, Wall of Fire* | | 9th | *Animate Objects, Creation* | #### Blessing of the Forge At 1st level, you gain the ability to imbue magic into a weapon or armor. At the end of a long rest, you can touch one nonmagical object that is a suit of armor or a simple or martial weapon. Until the end of your next long rest or until you die, the object becomes a magic item, granting a +1 bonus to AC if it's armor or a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls if it's a weapon. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. \columnbreak #### Channel Divinity: Artisan's Blessing Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to create simple items. You conduct an hour long ritual that crafts a nonmagical item that must include some metal: a simple or martial weapon, a suit of armor, ten pieces of ammunition, a set of tools, or another metal Object (see chapter 5, “Equipment,” in the *Player's Handbook* for examples of these items). The creation is completed at the end of the hour, coalescing in an unoccupied space of your choice on a surface within 5 feet of you. The thing you create can be something that is worth no more than 100 gp. As part of this ritual, you must lay out metal, which can include coins, with a value equal to the creation. The metal irretrievably coalesces and transforms into the creation at the ritual's end, magically forming even nonmetal parts of the creation. The ritual can create a duplicate of a nonmagical item that contains metal, such as a key, if you possess the original during the ritual. #### Soul of the Forge Starting at 6th level, your mastery of the forge grants you special abilities: - You gain resistance to fire damage. - While wearing heavy armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC. #### Divine Strike At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with the fiery power of the forge. 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. #### Saint of Forge and Fire At 17th level, your blessed affinity with fire and metal becomes more powerful: - You gain immunity to fire damage. - While wearing heavy armor, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks. \pagebreakNum ### Grave Domain Gods of the grave watch over the line between life and death. To these deities, death and the afterlife are a foundational part of the multiverse. To desecrate the peace of the dead is an abomination. Deities of the grave include Kelemvor, Wee jas, the ancestral spirits of the Undying Court, Hades, Anubis, and Osiris. Followers of these deities seek to put wandering spirits to rest, destroy the undead, and ease the suffering of the dying. Their magic also allows them to stave off death for a time. particularly for a person who still has some great work to accomplish in the world. This is a delay of death, not a denial of it, for death will eventually get its due. ##### Grave Domain Features | Cleric Level | Feature | |:---:|:-----------| | 1st | Domain Spells, Circle of Mortality, Eyes of the Grave | | 2nd | Channel Divinity: Path to the Grave | | 6th | Sentinel at Death's Door | | 8th | Potent Spellcasting | | 17th | Keeper of Souls | #### Domain Spells You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Grave Domain Spells table.

When you would normally roll one or more dice to restore hit points with a spell to a creature at 0 hit points, you instead use the highest number possible for each die. In addition, you learn the spare the dying cantrip, which doesn't count against the number of cleric cantrips you know. For you, it has a range of 30 feet, and you can cast it as a bonus action. \columnbreak #### Eyes of the Grave At lst level, you gain the ability to occasionally sense the presence of the undead, whose existence is an insult to the natural cycle of life. As an action, you can open your awareness to magically detect undead. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any undead within 60 feet of you that isn't behind total cover and that isn't protected from divination magic. This sense doesn't tell you anything about a creature's capabilities or identity. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. #### Channel Divinity: Path to the Grave Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to mark another creature's life force for termination. As an action, you choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you, cursing it until the end of your next turn. The next time you or an ally of yours hits the cursed creature with an attack, the creature has vulnerability to all of that attack's damage, and then the curse ends. #### Sentinel at Death's Door At 6th level, you gain the ability to impede death's progress. As a reaction when you or a creature you can see within 30 feet of you suffers a critical hit, you can turn that hit into a normal hit. Any effects triggered by a critical hit are canceled.

You can use this feature only if you aren't incapacitated. Once you use it, you can't do so again until the start of your next turn. \pagebreakNum ### Knowledge Domain The gods of knowledge—including Oghma, Soccoh, Gilean, Aureon, and Thoth—value learning and understanding above all. Some teach that knowledge is to be gathered and shared in libraries and universities, or promote the practical knowledge of craft and invention. Some deities hoard knowledge and keep its secrets to themselves. And some promise their followers that they will gain tremendous power if they unlock the secrets of the multiverse. Followers of these gods study esoteric lore, collect old tomes, delve into the secret places of the earth, and learn all they can. Some gods of knowledge promote the practical knowledge of craft and invention, including smith deities like Gond, Reorx, Onatar, Moradin, Hephaestus, and Goibhniu. ##### Knowledge Domain Features | Cleric Level | Feature | |:---:|:-----------| | 1st | Domain Spells, Blessings of Knowledge | | 2nd | Channel Divinity: Knowledge of the Ages | | 6th | Channel Divinity: Read Thoughts | | 8th | Potent Spellcasting | | 17th | Visions of the Past | #### Domain Spells You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Knowledge Domain Spells table.

You also become proficient in your choice of two of the following skills: Arcana, History, Nature, or Religion.

As an action, you choose one skill or tool. For 1 hour, you have proficiency with the chosen skill or tool. \columnbreak #### Channel Divinity: Read Thoughts At 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to read a creature's thoughts. You can then use your access to the creature's mind to command it. As an action, choose one creature that you can see within 60 feet of you. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature succeeds on the saving throw. you can't use this feature on it again until you finish a long rest. If the creature fails its save, you can read its surface thoughts (those foremost in its mind, reflecting its current emotions and what it is actively thinking about) when it is within 60 feet of you. This effect lasts for 1 minute. During that time, you can use your action to end this effect and cast the *Suggestion* spell on the creature without expending a spell slot. The target automatically fails its saving throw against the spell. #### Potent Spellcasting Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip. #### Visions of the Past Starting at 17th level, you can call up visions of the past that relate to an object you hold or your immediate surroundings.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest. **Object Reading.** Holding an object as you meditate, you can see visions of the object's previous owner. After meditating for 1 minute, you learn how the owner acquired and lost the object, as well as the most recent significant event involving the object and that owner. If the object was owned by another creature in the recent past (within a number of days equal to your Wisdom score), you can spend I additional minute for each owner to learn the same information about that creature. **Area Reading.** As you meditate, you see visions of recent events in your immediate vicinity (a room, street, tunnel, clearing, or the like, up to a 50-foot cube), going back a number of days equal to your Wisdom score. For each minute you meditate, you learn about one significant event, beginning with the most recent. Significant events typically involve powerful emotions, such as battles and betrayals, marriages and murders, births and funerals. However, they might also include more mundane events that are nevertheless important in your current situation. \pagebreakNum ### Life Domain The Life domain focuses on the vibrant positive energy —one of the fundamental forces of the universe— that sustains all life. The gods of life promote vitality and health through healing the sick and wounded, caring for those in need, and driving away the forces of death and undeath. Almost any non-evil deity can claim influence over this domain, particularly agricultural deities (such as Chauntea, Arawai, and Demeter), sun gods (such as Lathander, Pelor, and Re-Horakhty), gods of healing or endurance (such as Water, Mishakal, Apollo, and Diancecht), and gods of home and community (such as Hestia, Hathor, and Boldrei). ##### Life Domain Features | Cleric Level | Feature | |:---:|:-----------| | 1st | Bonus Proficiency, Domain Spells, Disciple of Life | | 2nd | Channel Divinity: Preserve Life | | 6th | Blessed Healer | | 8th | Divine Strike (1d8) | | 14th | Divine Strike (2d8) | | 17th | Supreme Healing | #### Domain Spells You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Life Domain Spells table.

As an action, you present your holy symbol and evoke healing energy that can restore a number of hit points equal to five times your cleric level. Choose any creatures within 30 feet of you, and divide those hit points among them. This feature can restore a creature to no more than half of its hit point maximum. You can't use this feature on an undead or a construct. #### Blessed Healer Beginning at 6th level, the healing spells you cast on others heal you as well.

Some of these gods are portrayed as the sun itself or as a charioteer who guides the sun across the sky. Others are tireless sentinels whose eyes pierce every shadow and see through every deception. Some are deities of beauty and artistry, who teach that art is a vehicle for the soul's improvement. Clerics of a god of light are enlightened souls infused with radiance and the power of their gods' discerning vision, charged with chasing away lies and burning away darkness. ##### Light Domain Features | Cleric Level | Feature | |:---:|:-----------| | 1st | Bonus Cantrip, Domain Spells, Warding Flare | | 2nd | Channel Divinity: Radiance of the Dawn | | 6th | Improved Flare | | 8th | Potent Spellcasting | | 17th | Corona of Light | #### Domain Spells You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Light Domain Spells table.

Druids revere nature as a whole and might serve one of these deities, practicing mysterious rites and reciting all-but-forgotten prayers in their own secret tongue. But many of these gods have clerics as well, champions who take a more active role in advancing the interests of a particular nature god. These clerics might hunt the evil monstrosities that despoil the woodlands, bless the harvest of the faithful, or wither the crops of those who anger their gods. ##### Nature Domain Features | Cleric Level | Feature | |:---:|:-----------| | 1st | Domain Spells, Acolyte of Nature, Bonus Proficiency | | 2nd | Channel Divinity: Charm Animals and Plants | | 6th | Dampen Elements | | 8th | Divine Strike (1d8) | | 14th | Divine Strike (2d8) | | 17th | Master of Nature | #### Domain Spells You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Nature Domain Spells table.

As an action, you present your holy symbol and invoke the name of your deity. Each beast or plant creature that can see you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is charmed by you for 1 minute or until it takes damage. While it is charmed by you, it is friendly to you and other creatures you designate. #### Dampen Elements Starting at 6th level, when you or a creature within 30 feet of you takes acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage, you can use your reaction to grant resistance to the creature against that instance of the damage. #### Divine Strike At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy.

On Ravnica, the domain is favored by clerics of the Azorius Senate, who use it to maintain and enforce the law, and of the Orzhov Syndicate, who exploit law and order for their personal gain. On other worlds, gods who grant access to this domain include Bane, Tyr, Majere, Erathis, Pholtus, Weejas, Aureon, Maglubiyet, Nuada, Athena, Anubis, Forseti, and Asmodeus. The ideal of order is obedience to the law above all else, rather than to a specific individual or the passing influence of emotion or popular rule. Clerics of order are typically concerned with how things are done, rather than whether an action's results are just. Following the law and obeying its edicts is critical, especially when it benefits these clerics and their guilds or deities. Law establishes hierarchies. Those selected by the law to lead must be obeyed. Those who obey must do so to the best of their ability. In this manner, law creates an intricate web of obligations that allows society to forge order and security in a chaotic multiverse. ##### Order Domain Features | Cleric Level | Feature | |:---:|:-----------| | 1st | Domain Spells, Bonus Proficiencies, Voice of Authority | | 2nd | Channel Divinity: Order's Demand | | 6th | Embodiment of the Law | | 8th | Divine Strike (1d8) | | 14th | Divine Strike (2d8) | | 17th | Order's Wrath | #### Domain Spells You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Order Domain Spells table.

If you cast a spell with a spell slot of 1st level or higher and target an ally with the spell, that ally can use their reaction immediately after the spell to make one weapon attack against a creature of your choice that you can see. If the spell targets more than one ally, you choose the ally who can make the attack. #### Channel Divinity: Order's Demand Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to exert an intimidating presence over others. As an action, you present your holy symbol, and each creature of your choice that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you until the end of your next turn or until the charmed creature takes any damage. You can also cause any of the charmed creatures to drop what they are holding when they fail the saving throw. #### Embodiment of the Law At 6th level, you become remarkably adept at channeling magical energy to compel others. If you cast a spell of the enchantment school using a spell slot of 1st level or higher, you can change the spell's casting time to 1 bonus action for this casting, provided the spell's casting time is normally 1 action. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest. #### Divine Strike 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. #### Order's Wrath Starting at 17th level, enemies you designate for destruction wilt under the combined efforts of you and your allies. If you deal your Divine Strike damage to a creature on your turn, you can curse that creature until the start of your next turn. The next time one of your allies hits the cursed creature with an attack, the target also takes 2d8 psychic damage, and the curse ends. You can curse a creature in this way only once per turn. \pagebreakNum ### Tempest Domain Gods whose portfolios include the Tempest domain -including Talos, Umberlee, Kord, Zeboim, the Devourer, Zeus, and Thor— govern storms, sea, and sky. They include gods of lightning and thunder, gods of earthquakes, some fire gods, and certain gods of violence, physical strength, and courage. In some pantheons, a god of this domain rules over other deities and is known for swift justice delivered by thunderbolts. In the pantheons of seafaring people, gods of this domain are ocean deities and the patrons of sailors. Tempest gods send their clerics to inspire fear in the common folk, either to keep those folk on the path of righteousness or to encourage them to offer sacrifices of propitiation to ward off divine wrath. ##### Tempest Domain Features | Cleric Level | Feature | |:---:|:-----------| | 1st | Domain Spells, Bonus Proficiencies, Wrath of the Storm | | 2nd | Channel Divinity: Destructive Wrath | | 6th | Thunderbolt Strike | | 8th | Divine Strike (1d8) | | 14th | Divine Strike (2d8) | | 17th | Stormborn | #### Domain Spells You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Tempest Domain Spells table.

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. #### Channel Divinity: Destructive Wrath Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to wield the power of the storm with unchecked ferocity. When you roll lightning or thunder damage, you can use your Channel Divinity to deal maximum damage, instead of rolling. #### Thunderbolt Strike At 6th level, when you deal lightning damage to a Large or smaller creature, you can also push it up to 10 feet away from you. #### Divine Strike At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy.

When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8. #### Stormborn At 17th level, you have a flying speed equal to your current walking speed whenever you are not underground or indoors. \pagebreakNum ### Trickery Domain Gods of trickery —such as Tymora, Beshaba, Olidammara, the Traveler, Garl Glittergold, and Loki— are mischief-makers and instigators who stand as a constant challenge to the accepted order among both gods and mortals. They're patrons of thieves, scoundrels, gamblers, rebels, and liberators. Their clerics are a disruptive force in the world, puncturing pride, mocking tyrants, stealing from the rich, freeing captives, and flouting hollow traditions. They prefer subterfuge. pranks, deception, and theft rather than direct confrontation. ##### Trickery Domain Features | Cleric Level | Feature | |:---:|:-----------| | 1st | Domain Spells, Blessing of the Trickster | | 2nd | Channel Divinity: Invoke Duplicity | | 6th | Channel Divinity: Cloak of Shadows | | 8th | Divine Strike (1d8) | | 14th | Divine Strike (2d8) | | 17th | Improved Duplicity | #### Domain Spells You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Trickery Domain Spells table.

This blessing lasts for 1 hour or until you use this feature again. **You gain proficiency with rapiers, scimitars, shortswords, and whips.

It can make heroes of ordinary people. It can be desperate and horrific, with acts of cruelty and cowardice eclipsing instances of excellence and courage. In either case, the gods of war watch over warriors and reward them for their great deeds. The clerics of such gods excel in battle, inspiring others to fight the good fight or offering acts of violence as prayers. Gods of war include champions of honor and chivalry (such as Torm, Heironeous, and Kiri-Jolith) as well as gods of destruction and pillage (such as Erythnul, the Fury. Gruumsh, and Ares) and gods of conquest and domination (such as Bane, Hextor, and Maglubiyet). Other war gods (such as Tempus, Nike, and Nuada) take a more neutral stance, promoting war in all its manifestations and supporting warriors in any circumstance. ##### War Domain Features | Cleric Level | Feature | |:---:|:-----------| | 1st | Domain Spells, Bonus Proficiencies, War Priest | | 2nd | Channel Divinity: Guided Strike | | 5th | Extra Attack | | 6th | Channel Divinity: War God's Blessing | | 8th | Divine Strike (1d8) | | 14th | Divine Strike (2d8) | | 17th | Avatar of Battle | #### Domain Spells You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the War Domain Spells table.
