Another Damned Eldritch Domain
\pagebreak ### Eldritch Domain Eldritch gods are inscrutable, even to their most zealous devotees, and rarely involve themselves with mortals. They might view what few supplicants they have as pests, sources of amusement, or tools for achieving unknowable ends. Consequently, the worship of these old gods is erratic. Followers form their own beliefs from eclectic knowledge, rumor, and conjecture. The reasons for their devotions are as manifold as their methods, but to many they are all simply madmen. When a cleric of one of these gods does receive an iota of divine attention, they may declare it to be vindication of their particular ideology and form a cult. Mortal powers that be are rarely tolerant of such unpredictable organizations, and so they are necessarily secretive. ##### Eldritch Domain Spells | Cleric Level | Spells | |:----:|:-------------------------------------------| | 1st | dissonant whispers, sleep | | 3rd | detect thoughts, phantasmal force | | 5th | fear, hunger of hadar | | 7th | summon aberration, evard’s black tentacles | | 9th | dream, modify memory | #### Occult Appendages At 1st level, you know know Deep Speech. You also gain the *thorn whip* cantrip. For you, the whip is a tentacle that makes two attacks against the same target or different ones. If an attack hits, it deals bludgeoning damage, or if the target is large or smaller, you can instead move the target up to 10 feet in any horizontal direction within range. #### Aberrant Rituals Starting at 1st level, you are an expert in unusual rituals. You know a number of spells of your choice from the aberrant ritual spell list equal to half your cleric level (rounded up). Each spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots. You can cast these spells only as rituals, unless you've learned them by some other means. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class you can choose one of the spells you know through this feature and replace it with another spell from the aberrant ritual spell list, which must also be of a level for which you have spell slots. The combined level of spells you can cast with this feature is equal to half your cleric level (rounded up). For example, when you reach 5th level in this class you can cast one 3rd level spell, one 2nd and one 1st level spell, or three 1st level spells. You regain all expended uses of this feature when you finish a long rest. #### Channel Divinity: Touch of Madness Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to touch the minds of other creatures with the knowledge of your god. As an action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. That target must make an Intelligence saving throw. Aberrations and creatures with an Intelligence score of 3 or less automatically succeed. On a failed save, the target must roll a d10 to determine the effect it suffers for one minute or until it takes damage, as shown below. |d10| Effect | |:-:|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 1 | The creature retreats into its mind and becomes incapacitated. | | 2 | The creature is enamored with the cleric's party and becomes charmed by them. | | 3 | The creature becomes frightened and must use its movement each round to flee from the cleric. | | 4 | The creature begins babbling loudly and is unable to speak, provide verbal components, or understand language. | | 5 | The creature is apoplectic and must use its action each round to attack the nearest creature. | | 6 | The creature experiences vivid hallucinations and has disadvantage on ability checks. | | 7 | The creature does whatever anyone tells it to do that isn't obviously self-destructive. | | 8 | The creature hyperventilates and becomes blind. | | 9 | The creature loses its instinct for self-preservation and has disadvantage on saving throws. | | 10| The creature is convinced it can't move and its speed becomes 0. | #### Strange Gifts At 6th level, you receive an unusual gift from your god in the form of a permanent alteration to your body or mind. Roll a d20 on the strange gifts table to determine which gift you receive or have the DM choose. Your god grants you a second gift at 10th level. When you gain a level in this class or successfully use divine intervention, you can choose one of your gifts and replace it by rolling a d20 on the strange gifts table. #### Potent Spellcasting Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal damage with any cleric cantrip. #### Eldritch Magic Starting at 17th level, your magic is suffused with the whispers of your god. When a creature fails a saving throw against a spell you cast, you can use your reaction to make it roll a d10 on Touch of Madness's effect table and suffer the corresponding result until the the start of your next turn. Additionally, you no longer need to maintain your concentration while casting a spell as a ritual.
