Cleric: Blight Domain
Growth from Necessity
Clerics of the Blight domain calls upon the destructive forces of the desert to bring ruination and decay. Grain withers, crops die, and entire communities are consumed alive by swathes of locusts. Gods of this domain may be evil, reveling in the destruction their devout bring. Others may view the strength in overcoming adversity; the view that an easy life is no life at all, and that challenge is but an opportunity for self-actualisation, is common among their followers. Such clerics may starve themselves, or deprive themselves of other comforts, in order to better themselves.

Channel Divinity: Lethargy
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to drain the energy of foes around you.
As an action, you present your holy symbol and invoke a vile curse. Each hostile creature within 15 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw, taking necrotic damage equal to 2d6 plus your cleric level on a failed saving throw, and half as much damage on a successful one. Creatures that fail their saving throw also have 1d4 subtracted from their next attack roll until the end of their next turn.

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.
Aspect of Famine
Starting at 17th level, you can drain the vitality of foes when they need it most.
When another creature you can see makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the roll. The creature also gains a level of exhaustion. You can do so after the creature rolls but before any effects of the roll occur.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a mimimum of once). You regain all uses when you finish a long rest.
Cleric: Respite Domain
Growth from Plenty
Clerics of the Respite domain command the restorative forces of the desert to bring comfort and respite. Grain flourishes, crops are harvested, and communities are sustained by life-giving waters. Gods of this domain tend to be good, rejoicing in the sustenance their devout provide. Others see the opportunity afforded by plenty; the view that removing fundamental challenges enables self-actualisation is common among their followers. Such clerics often strive to ensure the material needs of themselves and others are met, such that they may better themselves.
