Spellcasting
As a conduit for divine power, you can cast cleric spells.
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.
Spell Slots
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 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.
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 +Spell attack 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 as a spellcasting focus for your cleric spells.
Divine Domain
At 1st level, you choose a domain shaped by your choice of Deity and the gifts they grant you. 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, 10th, 14th, and 18th 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: Blessed Food and Drinnk and another 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 7th 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: Blessed Food and Drinnk
As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer over up to 6 pieces of food or drink, which become purified and rendered free of poison and disease. Any creature that consumes that food or drink, which can be done as a bonus action, regains hit points equal to 1d6 + your Wisdom modifier.
The healing effects of this food or drink fade after 24 hours if not consumed.
Feat
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you gain a Feat.
Blessed Strikes
At 6th level, your attacks now carry the divine energy you often call upon. When you deal damage with a weapon attack, the attack is considered magical for the purposes of overcoming resistances.
Divine Intervention
Beginning at 11th level, you can call on your deity to intervene on your behalf when your need is great. As an action, you call for your deity's aid, causing one of the following effects. Some domains grant you additional effects as you advance in levels, as noted in the domain description.
- Sunder the Heretical. All creatures within 60ft of you of your choice must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 8d10 Radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.
- Opulent Revival. All allies within 60ft gain the benefits of a short rest, regaining their maximum hit points instead of rolling. If an ally within this area is dead, you can instead choose to resurrect them, as if by the Revivify spell.
- Cleanse the Faithful. You end all negative conditions affecting allies within 60ft of you, such as Poisoned or Stunned. If a creature has Exhaustion, it is reduced by 2 stages.
- Golden Generosity. 10 days worth of rations and 2 of each Potion of Healing (normal, greater, superior, supreme) appear in a nonmagical bag at your feet.
- Eternal Devotion. You instantly regain all your expended uses of Channel Divinity.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again for 10 days.

By 13th level, your dedication to your deity has earned you divine protection against draining effects. Your ability scores and maximum hit points can't be reduced by spells or other magical effects.
Immortal Soul
By 20th level, your infallible service to your deity and the favor you have garnered has made you nearly unkillable. You do not age, and you can't be aged magically.
Additionally, once per day when you start your turn and are at 0 hit points or fewer, you return to life at a number of hit point equals to 20 + your Constitution modifier.
Domain: Arcana
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.

Divine Intervention: Sovereign Spells
By 18th level, your devotion to your deity has given you near divine control over spellcasting as a whole. When a creature within 60ft that you can see casts a spell of 5th level or lower, you can expend your Divine Intervention to wrestle control over the spell. When you do so, the creature's spell fails, and you immediately cast that spell as a reaction.
Domain: Grave
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. 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.

Channel Divinity: Turn Undead

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.
Sentinel at Death's Door
At 6th level, you gain the ability to impede death’s progress. As a reaction when you or an ally that you can see within 30 feet of you suffers a critical hit, you can turn that attack into a normal hit. Any effects triggered by a critical hit are canceled.

You can use this feature only if you aren't Incapacitated.
Domain: Knowledge
The gods of knowledge 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.

Domain: Nature
Gods of nature are as varied as the natural world itself; from inscrutable gods of the deep forests to friendly deities associated with particular springs and groves. 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.

When you use your action to cast a spell that affects a radius, or sphere, you can use your Channel Divinity to extend the radius by 30ft. If you cast a spell that affects a cube or line, its second distance increases by 30ft.
Master of Nature
At 14th level, you gain the ability to command animals and plant creatures. While creatures are charmed by your Charm Animals and Plants feature, you can take a bonus action on your turn to verbally command what each of those creatures will do on its next turn.

Trees. At the start of each of your turns, each of your enemies within 10 feet of any tree in the cube must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 4d6 slashing damage from whipping branches.
Roots and Vines. At the end of each of your turns, one creature of your choice that is on the ground in the cube must succeed on a Strength saving throw or become Restrained until the spell ends. A Restrained creature can use an action to make a Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Rocks. As a bonus action on your turn, you can cause a loose rock in the cube to launch at a creature you can see in the cube. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 3d8 nonmagical bludgeoning damage, and it must succeed on a Strength saving throw or fall prone.
Domain: Trickery
Gods of trickery 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 Spells
You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed.
| Cleric Level | Spell |
|---|---|
| 1st | Illusory Script, Disguise Self |
| 3rd | Mirror Image, Pass without Trace |

| 7th | Dimension Door, Polymorph |
| 9th | Mislead, Modify Memory |
Blessing of the Trickster

Acolyte of Deception
Also at 1st level, you learn the Minor Illusion cantrip if you don't already know it. It counts as a cleric spell for you.
Additionally, you become proficient in either Thieves' Tools or Forgery Kits.
Channel Divinity: Invoke Duplicity
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to create an illusory duplicate of yourself.
As an action, you create a perfect illusion of yourself that lasts for 1 minute, or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell). The illusion appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within 30 feet of you. As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the illusion up to 30 feet to a space you can see.
Your illusion has AC 14 + your proficiency bonus, 1 hit point, and immunity to all conditions. If it has to make a saving throw, it uses your saving throw bonus for the roll. It is the same size as you, and it occupies its space. If your illusion is ever more than 120 feet from you at the end of your turn, it is destroyed.
For the duration, you can cast spells as though you were in the illusion's space, but you must use your own senses. Additionally, when both you and your illusion are within 15 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.
Trickster's Escape
At 6th level, you gain incredible control over your illusions, making it tougher for your enemies to tell you and your illusory duplicates apart. As a reaction to taking damage, you can instantly change places with an illusion created by your Invoke Duplicity, which takes the damage instead of you.
Prolonged Illusions
At 10th level, your Invoke Duplicity no longer requires your concentration as if concentrating upon a spell.
Additionally, your Invoke Duplicity lasts up to 10 minutes, instead of 1 minute.
Improved Duplicity

Domain: Wrath
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 as well as gods of destruction and pillage and gods of conquest and domination. Other war gods take a more neutral stance, promoting war in all its manifestations and supporting warriors in any circumstance.
