Art Domain

Gods of art, such as the Muses, Apollo, Xochipilli, and Saraswati, hold sway over a bevy of different skills including crafts, dancing, drawing, music, painting, poetry, pottery, sculpture, smithing, storytelling, theatre, and weaving. From the beginning of peoples, these skills have been used to communicate, entertain, and inspire. A cleric of the Art Domain uses their divine and natural gifts to shepherd the creation of art, either through their own works or through inspiring others.

Civilization Domain

From walls and laws, farming and crafting, arts and science, civilization has ushered the advancement of those able to grow beyond their primitive lives. The ability to carve out a piece of land to provide protection from capricious nature in order to share ideas, support one another, and foster progress, is the greatest gift bestowed by the gods. Gods of this domain can represent all of civilization, Enki, or some part such as law, Eunomia, or trade, Yacatecuhtli, or can be the god of a particular city, Athena or Chenghuangshen.

After spending 1 minute in prayer focusing on the location, you sense the direction to it for up to 2 hours. The directions won't be a straight line, but will instead follow the layout of the streets and alleys of the city.

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.

Dream Domain

Deities who rule over sleep and dreams—such as the Oneiroi, Nott, Breksta, and Somnus—hold sway every night over the diurnal and every day over the nocturnal. Sleep is where we draw life and power and where we are most vulnerable. Dreams are where prophecies can arise and deep seated fears and desires reside. Dream Domain clerics draw their power from these enigmatic and powerful processes, and through their devotion to their god, wander the waking world with wisdom.

The spell lasts for the duration of the creature's normal slumber (the approximate time will be made known to you after successfully casting the spell). The target cannot be forcibly wakened from this sleep unless it ends the spell by succeeding a Wisdom saving throw from being damaged. Upon waking, it remembers none of its actions of what it did in its sleep, except perhaps as a fuzzy dream.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

Fortune Domain

Gods of the Fortune Domain are always worshiped, whether by everyday folk who wish to improve their lot in life, hapless saps hoping for a break, vindictive souls praying misfortune on others, or fatalist followers who welcome any destiny. And of course they are particular favorites of gamblers and those who enjoy games of chance. As long as one's successes are not solely determined by one's skills, people will always be praying for good luck. And even then, those not so skilled would need the gods of fortune even more just to compete.

As with luck itself fortune deities can be good, bad, or indifferent. Deities of good fortune include Caerus, Lakshmi, and Rundas, while those of bad fortune comprise Likho, Jyestha, and Kalfu, with Manat and Fortuna being both.

Hestia, Chantico, Matka Gabia, Vesta, Jowangshin, Ocak iyesi, Kojin -- there have been numerous deities and spirits who oversaw hearths and the fires that light them. Seemingly extravagant for what is simply a stone fireplace. But a hearth is a vital fixture to making a dwelling a home. It grants heat against the cold, a means to prepare meals, and a place to gather with family or, in communal halls and public houses, strangers.

The moon is one of the most revered and important celestial bodies. Many worlds may have multiple moons, and the domain can encompass all of them, but usually there is a single moon -- the largest or closest to the world -- that most civilizations recognize as the moon. This moon shines a light in the darkness and gives a method by which to track the days and seasons. In addition, the moon has many noted mystical influences. The cycles of the moon provide much in the ways of magic influencing lycanthropy and madness.

Clerics of the Moon Domain worship not only the moon but the deity who represents it, although in many cases they are on and the same. Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, Chang'e, Thoth, and Su'en are lunar deities, while Selene, Luna, Chandra, and Metztli are both lunar deities and the moon itself.

Threshold Domain

The transition of passing from one area to another can be one of the most important undertakings of a person's life.

Doors, portals, walls, and even the barriers that exist between languages and cultures are all under the purview of such deities as Ganesha, Hecate, Janus, Legba, Munjeon, and the Menshen.

Not merely pertaining to material wealth, the Wealth Domain also deals with good fortune and prosperity in life. Wealth gods are obviously worshiped for a chance of success and luxury. Many view clerics of the Wealth Domain as greedy opportunists looking to push the scales in their favor. And while this may be true for some, in reality many wish to succeed in a harsh, difficult world or believe that prosperity and wealth can be shared by all. Wealth Domain clerics honor deities that aid them in their successes such as Pluto, Lakshmi, Jambhala, Caishen, Abundantia, and Vesunna.

Channel Divinity: Appraisal

2nd-level Wealth Domain feature

You can use your Channel Divinity to better assess the value of an object.

As an action, you wave your holy symbol over an object. You learn if the object is cursed, its relative value, and anything you would learn from the identify spell. Also, for the next hour if you make a Charisma (Persuasion) check related to buying or selling the object, you are considered proficient in the Persuasion skill and add double your proficiency bonus to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.

Monetary Exchange

6th-level Wealth Domain feature

You can save money by substituting gold for material components. When a spell requires material components of a specified value, you may instead provide the value in gold pieces (or other coinage) as opposed to the actual object itself, and the value in gold you provide is one-quarter lower than the cost listed.

Hoard

17-level Wealth Domain feature

You, and only you, have access to a pocket dimension the size of a 200 foot cube. As an action, you can create a portal to your pocket dimension in an unoccupied space within 10 feet of you. Creatures you allow can expend 5 feet of movement to move through the portal and enter the pocket dimension at the location of your choosing. Alternatively, you can retrieve an object from the pocket dimension as an action.

Any gold you keep in this pocket dimension magically increases in value. For every 100 gold pieces you keep in the pocket dimension for 30 days, 1 gold piece is added to the pocket dimension.

If you are dead, you may have the contents of your pocket dimension reappear at a predetermined location of your choosing or the nearest unoccupied space from the predetermined location.

A Song of Ice and Fire Subclasses

This subclass is from a series of subclasses based on the culture and world of A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones, but the various locations, people, and cultural touchstones mentioned can easily be reworked to to fit campaigns not set in that world.

You can find more subclasses inspired by A Song of Ice and Fire here.

A Song of Ice and Fire: Drowned God Domain

The ironborn were made by the Drowned God to dominate the waters of the earth through reaving, raping, and seeking glory in blood and song. He will not suffer cowards but has given every brave man "a gift", something in which he excels.

While all true ironborn worship the Drowned God, his priests and clerics wear mottled robes of green, grey, and blue and braid dried seaweed through their long hair and untrimmed beard. Clerics will drink sea water from time to time, and some eat only fish and bathe only in sea water. These clerics perform a baptism of salt water to symbolically drown a person as a means to give themselves to the Drowned God. Some clerics actually drown the disciple and then bring them back to life, using the "kiss of life". Not everyone is successfully revived, however.

A Song of Ice and Fire: Lord of Light Domain

R'hllor is also known as the Lord of Light, the Heart of Fire, the God of Flame and Shadow but is commonly referred in Westeros as the Red God. While very prominent in Essos, the Lord of Light has but a small yet devoted following in the Seven Kingdoms. These clerics of the R'hllor, or red priests and priestesses, are blessed with divination through pyromancy and the ability to resurrect the dead.

R'hllor, the god of light, fire, and life, is locked in an eternal battle over the fate of the world with the Great Other, the god of darkness, ice, and death. This battle will only end when the legendary hero Azor Ahai returns wielding his flaming sword Lightbringer and defeats the white walkers and their Long Night once again.

Red priests light pyres in worship of the light and pray that Azor will return soon for the night is dark and full of terrors.
