Divine Domains
](#p8) 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.

# The 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. 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. Chanting a song of glory, a dwarf swings his axe in wide swaths to cut through the ranks of goblins arrayed against him, shouting praise to the gods with every foe’s fall. 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.

### 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. 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:** 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 simple weapon or *(b)* a martial weapon (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 Alternatively, you can roll 5d4 x 10 gp and buy your starting equipment \columnbreak ### Cleric Multiclassing Clerics follow all the normal rules for multiclassing. The following tables function as additions to the normal multiclassing rules. ***Ability Score Minimum.*** As a multiclass character, you must have at least a Wisdom score of 15 to take a level in this class, or to take a level in another class if you are already a cleric. ***Proficiencies Gained.*** If cleric isn’t your initial class, here are the proficiencies you gain when you take your first level as a cleric: light armor, medium armor, shields ***Spell Slots.*** Add all your levels in the cleric class to the appropriate levels from other classes to determine your available spell slots. ***Cleric Proficiency Bonus.*** When multiclassed, any cleric class feature that refers to your cleric proficiency bonus refers to what your proficiency bonus would be if only taking your cleric levels into account. If not multiclassed, this value will equal your regular proficiency bonus. Refer to the Cleric Class Table in the Proficiency Bonus column for your cleric level for what your cleric proficiency bonus is. \pagebreakNum
### Spellcasting *1st-level Cleric feature*
As a conduit for divine power, you can cast cleric spells. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the cleric spell list. #### Cantrips At 1st level, you know 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. Whenever you reach a level in this class that grants the Ability Score Improvement feature, you can replace one cantrip you learned from this class's Spellcasting feature with another cantrip from the cleric spell list. #### Preparing and Casting Spells The Cleric table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your cleric 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 *Heal*, 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. #### 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
#### 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 (see the Adventuring Gear section) as a spellcasting focus for your cleric spells. \pagebreakNum
### Divine Domain *1st-level Cleric feature*
Choose one domain related to your deity from the options available in the Divine Domains section of the document. Your choice grants you domain spells, expanded 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 and 18th levels. \columnbreak #### 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 it is a cantrip, it doesn't count against your Cantrips Known. If you have a domain spell that doesn’t appear on the cleric spell list, the spell is nonetheless a cleric spell for you. #### Expanded Domain Spells Your deity's power and influence allows you to choose from an expanded list of spells when you prepare your cleric spells for the day. These spells are added to the cleric spell list for you. ### Channel Divinity *2nd-level Cleric feature*
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: Divine Spark You point your holy symbol at another creature you can see within 30 feet of yourself and focus divine energy at them with the intent to either harm of heal. If you choose to harm, roll a number of d6s equal to twice your cleric proficiency bonus and add the rolls together, and force the creature to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes radiant damage, or a damage type included in your clerical canon, equal to the total, and on a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage (rounded down). If you choose to heal, roll a number of d8s equal to your cleric proficiency bonus. You restore hit points to the creature equal to that total. #### 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. \pagebreakNum
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. #### Channel Divinity: Harness Divine Power At 2nd level, you can expend a use of your Channel Divinity to fuel your spells. As a bonus action, you touch your holy symbol, utter a prayer, and regain any number of spell slots of a combined level no higher than half your cleric proficiency bonus, rounded up. ### Ability Score Improvement *4th-level Cleric feature*
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, increase two ability scores of your choice by 1, or take a feat. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. ### Destroy Undead *5th-level Cleric feature*
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 Table | Cleric Level | Destroys Undead of CR | |:---:|:---:|:---|:---:| | 5th | 1/2 or lower | Something | — | | 8th | 1 or lower | ─ | — | | 11th | 2 or lower | ─ | ─ | | 14th | 3 or lower | ─ | ─ | | 17th | 4 or lower | ### Clerical Canon *6th-level Cleric feature*
You choose which principles of your god's will you will embody. Choose one of the two clerical canons, and you gain that canon's feature. Whenever you gain a level in the cleric class that would grant an Ability Score Increase, you can switch your choice of clerical canon. ***Crusader.*** Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d10 radiant damage. As you gain cleric levels, this damage increases to 2d10 at 10th level, 3d10 at 14th level, and 4d10 at 18th level. If your Divine Domain has a Canon feature, you can change the damage type of this extra radiant damage to any damage type listed as part of your canon. If you make a weapon attack as part of a cantrip, you can choose for this extra damage to replace any extra damage on a hit the cantrip provides, otherwise you do not add this damage. ***Vicar.*** You can add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip. In addition, you can change the damage type of any cleric cantrip you cast to radiant damage, or, if your Divine Domain has a Canon feature, to any damage type listed as part of your canon. \columnbreak ### Divine Intervention *10th-level Cleric feature*
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 bonus 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. You may choose to have your DM choose the effect, alternately, you can choose the effect of any Cleric spell or spell available to your Domain of any level. 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. \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 Wee Jas of Greyhawk. #### Arcana Domain Spells | Cleric Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------| | 1 | *detect magic*, *magic missile* | | 3 | *magic weapon*, *nystul's magic aura* | | 5 | *dispel magic*, *magic circle* | | 7 | *arcane eye*, *leomund's secret chest* | | 9 | *planar binding*, *teleportation circle* | \columnbreak
#### Arcana Domain Expanded Spells | Spell Level | Spells | |:---:|:---| | Cantrip | *mage hand* | | 1st | *identify* | | 2nd | *enlarge/reduce* | | 3rd | *counterspell*, *leomund's tiny hut* | | 4th | *matilda's minor gateway* | | 5th | *bigby's hand* | | 6th | *arcane gate*, *contingency*, *trojan focus* | | 7th | *mirage arcane*, *sequester*, *teleport* | | 8th | *demiplane*, *mind blank* | | 9th | *prismatic wall* | #### Arcane Initiate *1st-level Arcana feature*
You gain Expertise in the Arcana skill. You learn two cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list, they don't count against your cantrips known, and they count as cleric cantrips for you. \pagebreakNum
#### Channel Divinity: *Arcane Abjuration* *2nd-level Arcana feature*
You can use your Channel Divinity to abjure otherworldly creatures. As an action, you present your holy symbol, and all celestial, elemental, fey, or fiend creatures of your choice that are within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw, provided that the creature(s) can see or hear you. If the creatures fail their saving throw, they are turned for 1 minute or until they 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... | |:---:|:-----------:| | 5 | 1/2 or lower | | 8 | 1 or lower | | 11 | 2 or lower | | 14 | 3 or lower | | 17 | 4 or lower | #### Spell Breaker *6th-level Arcana feature*
When you restore hit points to an ally with a spell of 1st level or higher or through your Channel Divinity, 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, or half your cleric proficiency bonus, rounded up, if using Channel Divinity. #### Arcana Canon *6th-level Arcana feature*
Magical force floods into your spells and weapon strikes. Force damage becomes part of your clerical canon. #### Arcane Mastery *18th-level Arcana feature*
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 Wee Jas are patrons of necromancers, death knights, liches, mummy lords, and vampires. Gods of the Death domain also embody murder (Anubis, Bhaal, and Pyremius), pain (Iuz or Loviatar), disease or poison (Incabulos, Talona, or Morgion), and the underworld (Hades and Hel). #### Death Domain Spells | Cleric Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------| | 1 | *false life*, *ray of sickness* | | 3 | *blood rain*, *ray of enfeeblement* | | 5 | *animate dead*, *vampiric touch* | | 7 | *blight*, *death ward* | | 9 | *antilife shell*, *cloudkill* | #### Death Domain Expanded Spells | Spell Level | Spells | |:---:|:---| | Cantrip | *fetid nail* | | 1st | *blood spear* | | 2nd | *corpse lance*, *pillar of bone* | | 3rd | *clutch of nyogtha* | | 5th | *bloodstone path* | | 6th | *circle of death* | | 7th | *finger of death* | | 8th | *aurethia's death blizzard* | | 9th | *all time low* | #### Reaper *1st-level Death feature*
You gain proficiency with martial weapons, and you learn one necromancy cantrip of your choice from any spell list. When you cast a necromancy cantrip that deals damage and that normally targets only one creature, the spell can instead target two creatures within range and within 5 feet of each other. #### Channel Divinity: *Touch of Death* *2nd-level Death feature*
You can use Channel Divinity to destroy another creature's life force by touch. When you hit a creature with a melee attack, you can use Channel Divinity to deal extra necrotic damage to the target. The damage equals 5 + twice your cleric level. \columnbreak #### Inescapable Destruction *6th-level Death feature*
Your ability to channel negative energy becomes more potent. Necrotic damage dealt by your cleric spells and Channel Divinity options ignores resistance to necrotic damage. Additionally, beginning at 6th level, when you cast a necromancy 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. #### Death Canon *6th-level Death feature*
Necrosing and life-stealing energies flood your spells and weapon attacks. Necrotic damage becomes part of your clerical canon. #### Bring Forth Undead *18th-level Death feature*
You can use an action to raise any undead creatures that have been killed within the past minute and give them 1 HP. They can be commanded to all attack a single creature with that same action. You can use your bonus action to command them to protect multiple creatures to the best of their abilities. \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 orcs, 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 Spells | Cleric Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------| | 1 | *identify*, *searing smite* | | 3 | *heat metal*, *magic weapon* | | 5 | *elemental weapon*, *protection from energy* | | 7 | *fabricate*, *wall of fire* | | 9 | *animate objects*, *creation* | #### Forge Domain Expanded Spells | Spell Level | Spells | |:---:|:---| | Cantrip | *holdingchain* | | 1st | *shield*, *ironbinds* | | 2nd | *arcane lock*, *immovable object* | | 3rd | *prehistoric hail* | | 5th | *wall of light* | | 6th | *fizban's platinum shield*, *investiture of flames* | | 7th | *forcecage* | | 8th | *incendiary cloud* | | 9th | *invulnerability*, *nova* | #### Blessing of the Forge *1st-level Forge feature*
You gain proficiency with heavy armor, martial weapons, and smith's tools. Additionally, 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* *2nd-level Forge feature*
You can use your Channel Divinity to create simple items. You can 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. 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 *6th-level Forge feature*
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. #### Forge Canon *6th-level Forge feature*
The heat of divine forges infused your spells and weapon attacks. Fire damage becomes part of your clerical canon. #### Saint of Forge and Fire *18th-level Forge feature*
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’s workings. To resist death, or to desecrate the dead’s rest, is an abomination. Deities of the grave include Kelemvor, Wee Jas, the ancestral spirits of the Undying Court, Hades, Anubis, and Osiris. These deities teach their followers to respect the dead and pay them due homage. Followers of these deities seek to put restless spirits to rest, destroy the undead wherever they find them, and ease the suffering of dying creatures. Their magic also allows them to stave off a creature’s death, though they refuse to use such magic to extend a creature’s lifespan beyond its mortal limits. #### Grave Domain Spells | Cleric Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------| | 1 | *spare the dying*, *bane*, *false life* | | 3 | *gentle repose*, *ray of enfeeblement* | | 5 | *revivify*, *vampiric touch* | | 7 | *blight*, *death ward* | | 9 | *antilife shell*, *wall of stone* | #### Grave Domain Expanded Spells | Spell Level | Spells | |:---:|:---| | Cantrip | *spectral hand* | | 1st | *false life* | | 2nd | *blood rain*, *tick of the clock* | | 3rd | *clutch of nyogtha* | | 4th | *old world's rest* | | 5th | *bloodstone path* | | 6th | *circle of death*, *soul cage* | | 7th | *confluence* | | 8th | *antipathy/sympathy* | | 9th | *all time low*, *sphere of annihilation* | #### Bonus Proficiencies *1st-level Grave feature*
You gain proficiency with the Herbalism kit. When you use the Herbalism kit to brew healing potions, you only require half the materials normally required to brew the potions. Instead of 25 gp worth of herbalism materials to brew a basic healing potion, you instead only require 12 sp and 5 cp. #### Circle of Mortality *1st-level Grave feature*
You gain the ability to manipulate the line between life and death. 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, when you cast *spare the dying*, it has a range of 30 feet, and you can cast it as a bonus action. \columnbreak #### Eyes of the Grave *1st-level Grave feature*
You gain the ability to sense the presence of the undead, whose existence is an insult to the natural cycle of life. You passively 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.

You can use an action on your turn to instead push this sense past all nonmagical barriers for 1 minute, or until you choose to end this effect. #### Channel Divinity: *Path to the Grave* *2nd-level Grave feature*
You can use your Channel Divinity to mark another creature’s life force for termination.

### Knowledge Domain The gods of knowledge — including Oghma, Boccob, 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 Spells | Cleric Level | Spells | |:---:|:---| | 1st | *command*, *identify* | | 3rd | *augury*, *borrowed knowledge* | | 5th | *nondetection*, *speak with dead* | | 7th | *arcane eye*, *confusion* | | 9th | *legend lore*, *scrying* | #### Knowledge Domain Expanded Spells | Spell Level | Spells | |:---:|:---| | 1st | *comprehend languages*, *sense emotions* | | 2nd | *see invisibility*, *suggestion* | | 3rd | *counterspell* | | 4th | *fabricate*, *spellcrush* | | 5th | *mislead*, *synaptic static* | | 6th | *mental prison* | | 7th | *teleport* | | 8th | *demiplane* | | 9th | *foresight* | #### Blessings of Knowledge *1st-level Knowledge feature*

For skills and tools, you have proficiency with the chosen skill or tool until you complete a short or long rest or you use this ability again. For spells, you know the spell and it doesn't count against your prepared spells. You lose knowledge of the spell after you take a long rest or use this ability again. \columnbreak #### Channel Divinity: *Read Thoughts* *6th-level Knowledge feature*
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. #### Knowledge Canon *6th-level Knowledge feature*
The knowledge of the ages allows you access to the energy of the eons. Force damage becomes part of your clerical canon. #### Visions of the Past *18th-level Knowledge feature*
You can call up visions of the past that relate to an object you hold or your immediate surroundings. You spend at least 1 minute in meditation and prayer, then receive dreamlike, shadowy glimpses of recent events. You can meditate in this way for a number of minutes equal to your Wisdom score and must maintain concentration during that time, as if you were casting a spell. 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 1 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 Ilmater, Mishakal, Apollo, and Diancecht), and gods of home and community (such as Hestia, Hathor, and Boldrei). #### Life Domain Spells | Cleric Level | Spells | |:---:|:---| | 1st | *Bless*, *Heal* | | 3rd | *Lesser Restoration*, *Spiritual Weapon* | | 5th | *Beacon of Hope*, *Revivify* | | 7th | *Death Ward*, *Guardian of Faith* | | 9th | *Mass Heal*, *Raise Dead* | #### Life Domain Expanded Spells | Spell Level | Spells | |:---:|:---| | 2nd | *Bloom*, *Healing Spirit* | | 3rd | *Life Transference*, *Motivational Speech* | | 4th | *Watery Sphere*, *Old World's Rest* | | 6th | *Globe of Invulnerability* | | 7th | *Regenerate* | | 8th | *Clone* | | 9th | *Invulnerability* | #### Disciple of Life *1st-level Life feature*

Whenever you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that restores hit points to a creature, the creature regains additional hit points equal to 2 + the spell’s level. #### Channel Divinity: *Preserve Life* *2nd-level Life feature*
You can use your Channel Divinity to heal the badly injured. As an action, you present your holy symbol and evoke healing energy that can restore a number of hit points equal to four times your cleric level.

When you would normally roll one or more dice to restore hit points with a spell, you instead use the highest number possible for each die. For example, instead of restoring 2d6 hit points to a creature, you restore 12. If you would use a spell or channel divinity to restore a set number of hit points, you increase the amount healed by half, rounded down. \pagebreakNum
### Light Domain Gods of light — including Helm, Lathander, Pholtus, Branchala, the Silver Flame, Belenus, Apollo, and Re-Horakhty — promote the ideals of rebirth and renewal, truth, vigilance, and beauty, often using the symbol of the sun. 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 Spells | Cleric Level | Spells | |:---:|:---| | 1st | *light*, *burning hands*, *faerie fire* | | 3rd | *flaming sphere*, *scorching ray* | | 5th | *daylight*, *fireball* | | 7th | *gaurdian of faith*, *wall of fire* | | 9th | *flame strike*, *scrying* | \columnbreak #### Light Domain Expanded Spells | Spell Level | Spells | |:---:|:---| | 1st | *chromatic orb*, *color spray* | | 3rd | *flame arrows*, *birdsight* | | 4th | *fire shield* | | 5th | *immolation*, *wall of light* | | 6th | *investiture of flame* | | 7th | *prismatic spray* | | 8th | *glibness* | | 9th | *nova*, *prismatic wall* | #### Warding Flare *1st-level Light feature*

### Nature Domain Gods of nature are as varied as the natural world itself, from inscrutable gods of the deep forests (such as Silvanus, Obad-Hai, Chislev, Balinor, and Pan) to friendly deities associated with particular springs and groves (such as Eldath). 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 Spells | Cleric Level | Spells | |:---:|:---| | 1st | *animal friendship*, *speak with animals* | | 3rd | *barkskin*, *spike growth* | | 5th | *plant growth*, *wind wall* | | 7th | *dominate beast*, *grasping vine* | | 9th | *insect plague*, *tree stride* | #### Nature Domain Expanded Spells | Spell Level | Spells | |:---:|:---| | 1st | *beast bond*, *faerie fire* | | 2nd | *bloom*, *locate animals or plants* | | 3rd | *birdsight*, *thorns of a rose* | | 4th | *guardian of nature* | | 5th | *transmute rock*, *wrath of nature* | | 6th | *wall of thorns*, *transport via plants* | | 7th | *whirlwind* | | 8th | *earthquake*, *tsunami* | | 9th | *transmute lava* | \columnbreak

Creatures in that area must make Dexterity saving throws against your spell DC. Creatures that fail their saving throw take 1d8 bludgeoning damage plus a number of d8's equal to half your Cleric level (rounded up), and are knocked prone. Creatures that make their saving throw take half damage and are not knocked prone.

### Order Domain The Order Domain represents discipline, as well as devotion to the laws that govern a society, an institution, or a philosophy. Clerics of Order meditate on logic and justice as they serve their gods, examples of which include Mother Isra, the Elladan god of home, hearth, and library Job, the Vungic god of watchfulness and the open sky Kou, Leyna, and the Vengrian god of walls and castles Tedor. Clerics of Order believe that well-crafted laws establish legitimate hierarchies, and those selected by law to lead must be obeyed. Those who obey must do so to the best of their ability, and if those who lead fail to protect the law, they must be replaced. In this manner, law weaves a web of obligations that create order and security in a chaotic multiverse. #### Order Domain Spells | Cleric Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------| | 1 | *command*, *heroism* | | 3 | *hold*, *zone of truth* | | 5 | *end emotions*, *slow* | | 7 | *compulsion*, *dominate* | | 9 | *commune*, *wall of stone* | #### Order Domain Expanded Spells | Spell Level | Spells | |:---:|:---| | Cantrip | *booming blade*, *prestidigitation* | | 1st | *charm person* | | 2nd | *earthbind*, *suggestion* | | 4th | *otiluke's resilient sphere* | | 6th | *mental prison* | | 7th | *forcecage* | | 8th | *dominate monster*, *feeblemind* | | 9th | *imprisonment* | #### Bonus Proficiencies *1st-level Order feature*

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. #### Order Canon *6th-level Order feature*

You can curse a creature in this way only once per turn. \pagebreakNum
### Peace Domain The balm of peace thrives at the heart of healthy communities, between friendly nations, and in the souls of the kindhearted. The gods of peace inspire people of all sorts to resolve conflict and to stand up against those forces that try to prevent peace from flourishing. Mother Isra, Ulluri, Kean, Arlo, Leyna, and Tedor are all deities who try to build their own ideas of peace. Clerics of the Peace Domain preside over the signing of treaties, and they are often asked to arbitrate in disputes. These clerics' blessings draw people together and help them shoulder one another's burdens, and the clerics' magic aids those who are driven to fight for the way of peace. #### Peace Domain Spells | Cleric Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------| | 1 | *heroism*, *sanctuary* | | 3 | *aid*, *warding bond* | | 5 | *beacon of hope*, *sending* | | 7 | *aura of purity*, *otiluke's resilient sphere* | | 9 | *greater restoration*, *rary's telepathic bond* | #### Peace Domain Expanded Spells |Spell Level | Spells | |:---:|:---| | 1st | *sleep* | | 2nd | *thought shield*, *warding wind* | | 3rd | *banner of stars*, *fast friends* | | 4th | *old world's rest* | | 5th | *awaken* | | 6th | *scatter* | | 7th | *sequester*, *teleport* | | 8th | *demiplane*, *mind blank* | | 9th | *invulnerability* | #### Implement of Peace *1st-level Peace feature*

They’re patrons of thieves, scoundrels, gamblers, rebels, and liberators.

As a Bonus Action, you can expend one use of your Channel Divinity to teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see, and you create a perfect visual illusion of yourself in the space you left. The illusion lasts for 1 minute, but it ends early if you have the Incapacitated condition or dismiss it as a Bonus Action. While the illusion persists, you gain the following benefits: **Cast Spells.** You can cast spells as though you were in the illusion’s space, but you must use your own senses. **Distract.** 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. **Move.** As a Bonus Action, you can move the illusion up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is within 120 feet of yourself, and you can then teleport, swapping places with the illusion. #### Trickster's Magic *6th-level Trickery feature*
If you cast a spell of the Illusion school using a spell slot, you can change the spell’s casting time to a Bonus Action for this casting, provided the spell’s casting time is normally an action. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your cleric proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest. #### Trickery Canon *6th-level Trickery feature*
The essence of tricks and schemes infuses into your spells and weapon attacks. Psychic damage becomes part of your clerical canon. #### Improved Duplicity *18th-level Trickery feature*
The illusion of your Invoke Duplicity has grown more powerful. When you create it, you can teleport up to 120 feet rather than 30 feet, and when you move it, you can move it up to 60 feet rather than 30 feet. In addition, when you and your allies make attack rolls against a creature within 5 feet of the illusion, the attack rolls have Advantage. Finally, when the illusion ends, you or a creature of your choice within 5 feet of it regains a number of Hit Points equal to your Cleric level. \pagebreakNum
### Twilight Domain The twilit transition from light into darkness often brings calm and even joy, as the day's labors end and the hours of rest begin. The darkness can also bring terrors, but the gods of twilight guard against the horrors of the night. Clerics who serve these deities-examples of which are Munteye, Ulluri, Kou, Leyna, and Ernest-bring comfort to those who seek rest and protect them by venturing into the encroaching darkness to ensure that the dark is a comfort, not a terror. #### Twilight Domain Spells | Cleric Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------| | 1 | *faerie fire*, *sleep* | | 3 | *moonbeam*, *see invisibility* | | 5 | *aura of vitality*, *leomund's tiny hut* | | 7 | *aura of life*, *greater invisibility* | | 9 | *circle of power*, *mislead* | #### Twilight Domain Expanded Spells | Spell Level | Spells | |:---:|:---| | 2nd | *misty step* | | 3rd | *banner of stars*, *catnap* | | 4th | *greater invisibility* | | 5th | *dream*, *far step* | | 6th | *eyebite* | | 7th | *sequester*, *teleport* | | 8th | *demiplane*, *mind blank* | | 9th | *aurora occidens* | \columnbreak #### Bonus Proficiencies *1st-level Twilight feature*
You gain proficiency with two martial weapons of your choice. #### Eyes of Night *1st-level Twilight feature*
You can see through the deepest gloom. You have darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. In that radius, you can see in dim light as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. As an action, you can magically share the darkvision of this feature with 1 willing creature you are touching. The shared darkvision lasts for 1 hour. Once you share it, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of any level to share it again. #### Channel Divinity: Twilight Sanctuary *2nd-level Twilight feature*
You can use your Channel Divinity to refresh your allies with soothing twilight. As an action, you present your holy symbol, and a sphere of twilight emanates from you. The sphere is centered on you, has a 30-foot radius, and is filled with dim light. The sphere moves with you, and it lasts for 1 minute or until you are incapacitated or die, whichever is sooner. Whenever a creature (including you) ends its turn in the sphere, you can use your reaction to cause one of the following effects to occur: * You can grant the creature temporary hit points equal to your cleric proficiency bonus plus your Wisdom modifier. These temporary hit points last until your Sanctuary disappears. * You can grant the creature the ability to use its reaction upon entering the sanctuary to make a saving throw with advantage against a charm or fear effect it is suffering from. Starting at 10th level, this Sanctuary improves. As a bonus action on your turn, if you have this aura up, you can cause the stars in the twilight that compose it to shine brightly. The sphere becomes heavily obscured until the start of your next turn. You can see through heavy obscurement created by this effect. #### Guide Through the Night *6th-level Twilight feature*
You can touch one willing creature taking a short rest, and you can cause them to lose 1 level of exhaustion and regain 2 expended hit dice when they finish their short rest. You can use this feature once. You regain the ability to use this feature when you finish a long rest. #### Twilight Shroud *18th-level Twilight feature*
The twilight that you summon offers a protective embrace: you and your allies have half cover while in the sphere created by your Twilight Sanctuary. \pagebreakNum
### War Domain War has many manifestations. 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 Spells | Cleric Level | Spells | |:---:|:---| | 1st | *righteous brand*, *shield of faith* | | 3rd | *cloud of daggers*, *spiritual weapon* | | 5th | *crusader's mantle*, *spirit guardians* | | 7th | *freedom of movement*, *staggering smite* | | 9th | *flame strike*, *steel wind strike* | #### War Domain Expanded Spells | Spell Level | Spells | |:---:|:---| | Cantrip | *true strike* | | 1st | *absorb elements*, *shield* | | 2nd | *flame blade* | | 3rd | *haste*, *blinding smite* | | 4th | *stoneskin* | | 5th | *crescent blade*, *starlight smite* | | 6th | *tenser's transformation*, *fizban's platinum shield* | | 7th | *mordenkainen's sword* | | 9th | *blade of disaster* | #### Bonus Proficiencies *1st-level War feature*
You gain proficiency with martial weapons and heavy armor. #### War Priest *1st-level War feature*
You can perform the somatic components of spells even when you have weapons or a shield in one or both hands. Additionally, the first time you hit a creature with a weapon on your turn, your zeal breaks the spirit of the target. Whenever they make an attack roll until the end of your next turn, they must roll 1d4 and subtract the result. A creature can only be affected by one instance of this feature at one time. \columnbreak
#### Channel Divinity: Guided Strike *2nd-level War feature*
When a creature (including yourself) within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll, you can use your reaction to grant that creature a +10 bonus to the roll, using your Channel Divinity. You make this choice after you see the roll, but before the DM says whether the attack hits or misses. Starting at 10th level, the attack you apply your Channel Divinity to also deals an additional 1d10 radiant damage if it hits. This damage increases to 2d10 at 18th level. #### War God’s Wrath *6th-level War feature*
When you use your action to cast a Cleric cantrip, you may make a single weapon attack with a weapon your are holding as a part of that same action. In addition, you can make a single weapon attack with a weapon you are holding as a part of the same action as you cast a Cleric spell of 1st level or higher, but you can only do so twice, regaining all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest, unless you expend a use of your Channel Divinity to do so again. Starting at 18th level, you can do so at-will. #### Avatar of Battle *18th-level War feature*
You gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons. \pagebreakNum

\pagebreakNum ## Changelog ### Base Class Changes * Each domain is given an expanded list of spells to choose from. This helps higher level clerics feel like they have more options mostly, but gives access to thematic and occasionally strong spells that fit the theme of the domain. A trickery domain cleric, for example, gains *tasha's hideous laughter* and *maze* as options they can take for cantrips/spells, among others. This is probably the biggest and most substantial change to the class as a whole, and worth a discussion on its own. * Divine Strike has been moved from 8th level to 6th level, and revamped and renamed to Clerical Canon. The design decision to give a feature at 8th level has always been odd to me, and giving it at 6th allows it to be a part of the intended power jump players will feel at the start of Tier 2 play. I've also quickened the scaling to allow it to compete more and differently with cantrip scaling, and taken it away from the subclasses, as well as also allowing any cleric to choose from the cantrip boost or the weapon attack boost. I thought a Life Domain cleric should be able to protect their allies through weapon use, if that's what they wanted to do. * Divine Intervention is now a bonus action instead of an action. Makes it not feel quite so bad to try for a desperate 10-20% of a miracle happening, so you still have an opportunity to do something with your turn even if it doesn't work out. The player also now can choose to exert some control. * Subclass features now come in at 18th level, not 17th. ### Subclass Changes This list is not comprehensive, and is a work-in-progress, as I've added and changed a lot. Potent Spellcasting/Divine Strikes have been removed universally and replaced with a Clerical Canon feature. All clerics now get expanded spells. But, some other notable changes: #### Arcana * Their Clerical Canon gains force damage. #### Knowledge * Knowledge of the Ages: you can now have proficiency until the next short or long rest. This is a lot easier to keep track of. * Their Clerical Canon gains force damage. #### Life * Preserve Life is too much tracking and hassle as-written. This has been rewritten to be simpler. #### Light * Radiance of the Dawn has been nerfed at early levels, but the scaling is much better, so that it continues to be a reasonable option at later levels. #### Nature * Heavy armor proficiency is taken away. This didn't make sense, flat out. * Acolyte of Nature now allows more flexibility with the cantrip you choose. * Channel Divinity has been switched; was overly circumstantial before, now it's more useful generally as an AOE damage + prone + difficult terrain effect. * Canon includes some elemental damage types * Flesh of Wood now changed to be more applicable; critical hits against you count as normal hits. #### Order * Psychic damage added to Canon #### Peace * Emboldening Bond changed to hopefully be less tracking, but this feature is very liable to change, as it probably still has too much tracking. * Balm of Peace was a ridiculous amount of healing before. Now you get a pool that you can distribute instead. * Protective Bond distance nerfed from 30 feet to 10 feet. This distance increases to 30 feet at 18th level. #### Tempest * Wrath of the Storm now scales with cleric level to still be useful later on. * Thunderbolt Strike now works with both lightning and thunder damage. * Lightning and thunder damage are part of your clerical canon. * You now gain a straight-up flying speed at 18th level instead of the limited flight beforehand. You can also cast *lightning bolt* at 5th level once per rest. #### Trickery * Changed to reflect the new Trickery cleric from the Unearthed Arcana playtest packet 7 which I like. #### Twilight * Bonus Proficiencies has lost heavy armor and all martial weapons, is now just two martial weapons of your choice. Heavy armor should be reserved for the clerics which are heavily themed around war and battle, which Twilight just isn't. * Eyes of Night has changed to be just 1 creature, instead of Wis mod # of creatures. * Vigilant Blessing removed. Too much at 1st level. * Twilight Sanctuary now requires you to use your reaction and a spell slot to grant a creature within it one of the benefits. The scaling has slightly changed as well. * Steps of Night removed, Guide Through the Night is there instead. This is a twilight cleric, they should be good at ushering their friends through rests. #### War * War domain clerics are now incentivized to use weapons without giving them an ability that's ridiculous at level 1 and then pitiful after level 5. At level 6, they can be a gish of sorts without having Extra Attack by making attacks at the same time as they cast spells. * Domain spells have been changed. \pagebreakNum ## Homebrew Adaptation This cleric revision features a number of base class revisions, some of which require addressing in homebrew Divine Domains. Universally, each domain will have a last of Expanded Spells, removing of Divine Strike/Potent Spellcasting, and all 17th level features will be gained at 18th level instead. ### Beauty *Laserllama's Beauty domain found [here](https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-M0iDN43pUP3ABymUfYa).* #### Beauty Domain Spells Add *friends* to the list gained at 1st level. #### Beauty Domain Expanded Spells | Spell Level | Spells | |:---:|:---| | Cantrip | *mind sliver* | | 1st | *distort value* | | 2nd | *tasha's mind whip* | | 3rd | *incite greed* | | 4th | *ego whip*, *hallucinatory terrain* | | 5th | *geas*, *synaptic static* | | 6th | *mass suggestion*, *mental prison* | | 7th | *sequester* | | 8th | *feeblemind*, *mind blank* | | 9th | *true polymorph* | #### Bonus Cantrip Remove the first paragraph.
