Cleric

Divine magic, as the name suggests, is the power of the gods, flowing from them into the world. Clerics are conduits for that power, manifesting it as miraculous effects. The gods don’t grant this power to everyone who seeks it, but only to those chosen to fulfill a high calling.

Almost all the folk in the world who revere a deity live their lives without ever being directly touched by a divine being. As such, they can never know what it feels like to be a cleric — someone who is not only a devout worshiper, but who has also been invested with a measure of a deity’s power.

The question has long been debated: Does a mortal become a cleric as a consequence of deep devotion to one’s deity, thereby attracting the god’s favor? Or is it the deity who sees the potential in a person and calls that individual into service? Ultimately, perhaps, the answer doesn’t matter. However clerics come into being, the world needs clerics as much as clerics and deities need each other.

“I have been fortunate enough to have experienced more in these few years than most have in their entire lifetime. Even so, nothing can ever replace the feeling of warmth, grace, purity, and power, all of which come to me each time I call upon Sarenrae to guide my hand.”

– Alisa Tristane, priestess

Deity

One of the most important things to decide is the deity you serve. The Golarion setting hosts a large pantheon of deities, ranging from the all-powerful greater deities to the minor gods and demigods, who are mostly powerful extraplanar creatures. While most deities’ followers span cultures and races, some races and intelligent creatures have their own pantheons worshiped primarily within their own ranks.

A description of the most common deities in Golarion, as well in a more generic setting, can be found here. This also includes the allowed domains for each deity.

Divine Domain

Choose one domain related to your deity. Your choice grants you domain spells and other features when you choose it at 1st level. It also grants additional ways to use Channel Divinity when you gain that feature at 2nd level, and additional benefits at 6th, 8th, 10th, and 18th levels.

Favored Domain Spells

Whenever you gain access to a new cleric spell level, select two of the ones listed as domain spells. The selected spells are always prepared, and do not count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. This does not apply to spell levels above 5th.

Path of Faith

Different clerics uphold their faith in different ways. Decide the path you have chosen between the Path of the Missionary, Priest or Saint.

Crusader. You are a frontline warrior, using both magic and metal to bolster your allies. Whenever you make an attack with a melee weapon you are proficient with, you may use your Wisdom modifier for the attack and damage rolls. Additionally, you gain the Medium armor combat skill as well as 2 additional skill points to spend on combat skills.

Missionary. You are but a mouthpiece for your god, to both gain more followers and tell of their superiority. Add Speechcraft to your class skills and gain 1 skill point to spend ot this skill. In addition, when you make a Charisma check to intimidate, impress, persuade or speak in the name of your god, you may use your Wisdom modifier rather than Charisma.

Priest. You focus on using the spells your deity has gifted you, aiding your allies from the back. When calculating AC you may use your Wisdom modifier instead of your Dexterity modifier. You learn an additional cantrip from your spell list.

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.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one cantrip you learned with another cantrip from your spell list.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Cleric table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your 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 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 up to your Wisdom modifier + your cleric level. The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. 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. However, if you do not have your maximum number of spells prepared, you can add a new spell to your list of prepared spells at any time. Both these activities requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each new spell.

Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your cleric spells. The power of your spells comes from your devotion to your deity.

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.

Spellcasing Focus

You can use a holy symbol as a spellcasting focus for your cleric spells.

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 Turn the Unholy, an effect based on your Path of Faith, and one or more effects determined by your domain. Some domains also grant more effects as you advance in levels, as noted in the domain description.

Some Channel Divinity effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your cleric spell save DC.

Piety

In order to Channel Divinity, you have to spend 4 Piety. The amount of piety you have per level is shown in the Cleric table.

See the Rest Additions for more details.

Crusader

Missionary

Priest

Faithful Path

At 8th level, you gain an additional feature depending on your path of faith.

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 1d8 damage to the target. The type of damage and any other effect will be described in your domain description.

Missionary. Whenever you make a check with a skill you are proficient in, you may add 1d4 to the check.

Priest. You may add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

Faithful Path

At 14th level, you gain an additional feature depending on your path of faith.

Crusader. The extra damage increases to 2d8.

Missionary. You gain 2 additional skill points.

Priest. Whenever you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that only targets allies, you may cast a Cleric cantrip as a bonus action. The 1st level or higher spell cast must have used your action.

Divine Intervention

Finally at 20th level, you can call on your deity to intervene on your behalf when your need is great. As an action you may call upon your deity for direct aid, upon doing so, roll 1d4, consulting the results below for what happens.

1. You replicate the effects of any spell of 9th level or lower from your spell list. You do not require components for this spell, and it can not be counterspelled or dispelled if its duration is 1 minute or less. If its casting time is greater than 1 action, it becomes 1 action for this specific casting. If the spell cast is lower than 9th level, it is cast at 9th level for the purposes of higher level effects.

2. Your deity sends a loyal servant to aid you. Your DM chooses a creature of the Celestial, Fey or Fiend type that would be appropriate, however its CR can be no greater than 20. The creature is an ally to you and assists you in any way it can, it leaves when it is reduced to 0 HP or after an hour has passed. The DM may rule the creature remains for a longer duration.

3. Your deity restores your energy. You and up to 6 creatures of your choice within 120 ft of you immediately gain the benefits of a long rest.

4. Your deity merges your being with its own, granting you significant power. You immediately recover all your HP and expended spell slots, and you immediately end any effects on you of your choice. Additionally, your AC increases by an amount equal to your wisdom modifier, and your HP maximum increases by your wisdom modifier times 20. These benefits last for an hour or until your deity decides to end it early.

Once you gain aid from your deity, you can not do so again until 7 days have passed.

Pantheons

Celtic Deities

It’s said that something wild lurks in the heart of every soul, a space that thrills to the sound of geese calling at night, to the whispering wind through the pines, to the unexpected red of mistletoe on an oak - and it is in this space that the Celtic gods dwell.

They sprang from the brook and stream, their might heightened by the strength of the oak and the beauty of the woodlands and open moor. When the first forester dared put a name to the face seen in the bole of a tree or the voice babbling in a brook, these gods forced themselves into being.

The Celtic gods are as often served by druids as by clerics, for they are closely aligned with the forces of nature that druids revere.

Egyptian Deities

These gods are a young dynasty of an ancient divine family, heirs to the rulership of the cosmos and the maintenance of the divine principle of Ma’at - the fundamental order of truth, justice, law, and order that puts gods, mortal pharaohs, and ordinary men and women in their logical and rightful place in the universe.

The Egyptian pantheon is unusual in having three gods with the Death domain of different alignments. Anubis is the lawful neutral god of the afterlife, who judges the souls of the dead. Set is a chaotic evil god of murder, perhaps best known for killing his brother Osiris. And Nephthys is a chaotic good goddess of mourning. Thus, although most clerics of the Death domain are villainous characters, clerics who serve Anubis or Nephthys need not be.

Norse Deities

Where the land plummets from the snowy hills into the icy fjords below, where the longboats draw up on to the beach, where the glaciers flow forward and retreat with every fall and spring - this is the land of the Vikings, the home of the Norse pantheon. It’s a brutal clime, and one that calls for brutal living. The warriors of the land have had to adapt to the harsh conditions in order to survive, but they haven’t been too twisted by the needs of their environment. Given the necessity of raiding for food and wealth, it’s surprising the mortals turned out as well as they did.

Their powers reflect the need these warriors had for strong leadership and decisive action. Thus, they see their deities in every bend of a river, hear them in the crash of the thunder and the booming of the glaciers, and smell them in the smoke of a burning longhouse.

The Norse pantheon includes two main families, the Aesir (deities of war and destiny) and the Vanir (gods of fertility and prosperity). Once enemies, these two families are now closely allied against their common enemies, the giants (including the gods Surtur and Thrym). Like the gods of Greyhawk, gods in different families sometimes have overlap in their spheres of influence: Frey (of the Vanir) and Odur (of the Aesir) are both associated with the sun, for example.

Divine Domains

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.

Your choice might correspond to a particular sect dedicated to your deity. Apollo, for example, could be worshiped in one region as Phoebus (“radiant”) Apollo, emphasizing his influence over the Light domain, and in a different place as Apollo Acesius (“healing”), emphasizing his association with the Life domain.

Alternatively, your choice of domain could simply be a matter of personal preference, the aspect of the deity that appeals to you most.

Choose one domain related to your deity. Each domain is detailed at the end of the class description. 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, and 18th levels.

Domain Spells

Each domain has a list of domain spells. Whenever you gain access to a new cleric spell level, select two of the ones listed as domain spells. The selected spells are always prepared, and do not count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the path of the Crusader, your divine domain decides what type of damage your Faithful Path features deals. A few domains also have choices for other Paths.

Domain list

Deity exclusive paths

Balanced Scale of Abadar. This is a path exclusive to clerics of Abadar.

Agriculture Domain

Gods of the field and farm share much with the gods of nature. They are nurturing forces, lifebringers and survivors. Unlike their more wild cousins, however, gods of agriculture cultivate nature, sculpting it to their needs.

They teach the art of farming and animal husbandry to mortals, giving them stability, peace, and the opportunity to grow. Simultaneously, they train their followers in the ways of cooperation and hardiness - perfect traits for the reluctant warrior, and ideal traits for a shepard who protects villages and towns that would be otherwise defenseless.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Bonus Skills, Plentiful Harvest
2nd	Channel Divinity: Shared Burden
6th	Hand of Solidarity
8th	Faithful Path
10th	Gestalt Anchor
18th	Simple Resilience

Bonus Skills

When you take this domain at 1st level, add Agriculture to your class skills and gain 1 skill point to spend on this skill.

Furthermore, gain rank 1 with Polearms and you can use well-maintained farming implements as weapons with which you are proficient. These use the stats of the weapon that most closely matches their shape and weight.

Plentiful Harvest

Gain the goodberry spell, which is always prepared. Additionally, your healing strengthens those who benefit from it. Whenever you heal a creature for 5 or more hit points using a spell slot of 1st level or higher, that creature gains a +1 bonus to attack rolls and damage with weapon attacks until the beginning of your next turn.

Channel: Shared Burden

You can Channel Divinity to protect your allies using the strength of your shared bonds. When a creature you can see within 30 ft of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to choose a number of other willing creatures you can see (which can include yourself), up to a number equal to your Wisdom modifier.

Distribute the damage dealt between the original target and the chosen creatures however you like. This feature doesn’t transfer any other effects that might accompany the damage, the damage can’t be reduced in any way, and each creature involved must take at least 1 damage.

Hand of Solidarity

You can invoke your divine power to lift your allies to new heights in battle. You can take the Help action as a bonus action.

Additionally, when you use the Help action to aid an ally in attacking a creature, you can help two allies targeting the same creature within range. You can use this benefit a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and can regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is radiant.

Gestalt Anchor

You can lend providence to your allies when they falter against foes. When a creature you can see within 30 ft of you fails a saving throw, you can use your reaction to add your Wisdom modifier to the roll, potentially turning it into a success.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and can regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Simple Resilience

Your spells bolster your target even when already at their peak condition. Any time you heal a creature with a spell slot of 1st level or higher, and the amount of healing rolled would put the target over their hit point maximum, the creature gains those excess hit points as temporary hit points.

These hit points last for 1 minute, and give the creature advantage on all saves as long as they remain. Healing a creature who is missing no hit points and already has temporary hit points from this feature wastes the spell slot with no effect.

---

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.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Arcane Initiate
2nd	Channel Divinity: Harness Power
6th	Spell Breaker
8th	Faithful Path
10th	Rapid Arcana
18th	Arcane Mastery

Arcane Initiate

When you take this domain at 1st level, add Arcana to you class skills, and gain 1 skill point to spend on this skill.

Additionally you gain two cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. For you, these cantrips count as cleric cantrips.

Channel: Harness Power

You can Channel Divinity to fuel your spells. As a bonus action, you touch your holy symbol, utter a prayer, and regain one expended spell slot, the level of which can be no higher than half your proficiency bonus.

Spell Breaker

When you restore hit points to an ally with a spell of 1st level or higher, 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.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is force damage.

Rapid Arcana

You have learned how to quicken your spellcasting. When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher on your turn that only targets allies, you spend a Piety to cast a cantrip as a bonus action.

Arcane Mastery

Choose four spells from the wizard spell list, one from each of the following levels: 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th. Add them to your list of domain spells. Like your other domain spells, they are always prepared and count as cleric spells for you.

---

Balance Domain

For every light, there is a shadow equally dark. It is in this balance between the forces of chaos, law, good, and evil that the mortal races can live and thrive. Such is the order of things, and thus, that balance must be protected.

Among the gods, there is often the tie-breaker, the traitor, the peace-bringer and the judge. Pharasma, Calistria, Anubis, Bast and Forseti, as well as other gods of justice, balance, equilibrium, vengeance, and peace may hold sway over the domain of balance.

Your task, as an arbiter of these ancient gods, is to maintain the balance of the cosmic order by quelling what threats are within your power. Bring ruin where it is needed, and salvation where there is none to be found.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Mystic Inversion
2nd	Channel Divinity: Weigh the Scales
6th	Harmony in Unity
8th	Faithful Path
10th	Balancing Act
18th	Perfect Order

Mystic Inversion

At 1st level, you learn to balance the cosmic energies with your spellcasting, counteracting the excesses of others. Whenever you cast a spell that deals damage, you can choose to change one or more damage types from that spell to a different damage type, according to the following chart, by switching the damage type to its opposite.

For example, when you cast flame strike, you can change the fire damage to cold damage, the radiant damage to necrotic damage, or both.

Damage type inversion table

Damage type	Damage type
Fire	Cold
Acid	Force
Psychic	Poison
Necrotic	Radiant
Slashing/Piercing	Thunder
Bludgeoning	Lightning

Channel: Weigh the Scales

At 2nd level, you can use your action and your Channel Divinity feature to impose equilibrium. For one minute or until you choose to end this effect as a bonus action, you cannot gain advantage or suffer disadvantage, and you can reroll any damage dice that result in a 1, but only once per die.

Harmony in Unity

Your divine calling allows you to correct what has been disrupted. When you cast a spell that causes a creature to regain hit points, that creature’s next attack deals an extra 1d6 force damage.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, you can choose the extra damage you deal to be radiant or necrotic. You can change this choice at any time.

Balancing Act

If you are affected by Weigh the Scales, you are also considered to be affected by protection from Evil and Good.

Perfect Order

Your god controls the events around you, acting with inscrutable intent. When a creature takes an action within 30 ft of you and rolls a d20, you can choose the result of the die roll.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and can regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

---

Celebration Domain

Your god is an awesome god, and one who loves to throw excellent parties. Cayden Cailean, Bacchus, Dionysus, Hanseath, and any god known for alcohol or other intoxicants, wild behavior, and good cheer could have celebration as one of their domains.

Your primary task is to raise the spirits and embolden the hearts of those around you, but your deity may task you with pursuing other ends - bringing peace to a war-torn land, freeing those brought low by the yoke of oppression, standing firm against the tides of war, and performing noble deeds that are always met with a good celebration!

Not all deities of this domain are so benevolent, however. Praise for gods of war and conflict after a successful battle are just as common in war torn lands, as drinking wine from the skull of an enemy is a treat for any vicious warlord.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Bonus Cantrip, Life of the Party
2nd	Channel Divinity: Firework, Channel Divinity: Water and Wine
6th	Channel Divinity: Cheerful Assistance
8th	Faithful Path
10th	More Time for Celebration
18th	Grand Finale

Bonus Cantrip

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain the dancing lights cantrip if you don’t already know it. You do not need to maintain concentration on this cantrip and you can create a number of lights equal to the normal value plus half your cleric level rounded up.

Life of the Party

Add Speechcraft to you class skills, and gain 1 skill point to spend on this skill.

Whenever you cast a cleric spell, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier that last for one minute.

Channel: Firework

You can Channel Divinity to conjure a small explosive, which you can throw into any space within 60 ft as an action. When you do so, each creature within 10 ft of the target point must make a Constitution saving throw or be blinded and deafened until the end of your next turn. The firework emits a loud boom that can be heard up to 300 ft away.

Channel: Water and Wine

You can Channel Divinity to transform up to fifty gallons of water into a magical ambrosia for one hour. Creatures that drink from this must make a Wisdom saving throw against your cleric spell save DC or be charmed for one minute.

Either way, the subject gains temporary hit points equal to your cleric level. This liquid can be bottled, but fades back into water after one hour.

Channel: Cheerful Assistance

You can protect your friends from bad decisions. Whenever a creature within 60 ft of you that you can see makes a roll with disadvantage, you can use your reaction and Channel Divinity feature to enable them to roll with advantage instead.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is fire or radiant.

More Time for Celebration

Gain 8 additional Piety.

Grand Finale

When you make a ranged attack or cast a cantrip that targets only one creature, you can cause the projectile or the cantrip to explode in a shower of sparks. Each creature within a 5-ft radius centered on the target must make a Dexterity saving throw against your cleric spell save DC or take damage as if also targeted by the attack or cantrip.

---

Chaos Domain

The Chaos Domain is the concern of gods that shuns the idea of laws and order, embracing chaos, change, progress, and entropy. Although they are often perceived as a threat or dangerous by those in power, many of these gods act as the voices of the people who cannot be heard, as well as the catalysts for revolutions against corrupt empires and others who would enslave and oppress.

Some chaotic gods act as forces of unchecked chaos, destroying everything in their path and sowing madness and decay wherever they go. Others are the embodiment of the power within the Elemental Chaos, manifesting in endless turbulence and perpetual change, who bring both ruin and creation in equal measure.

Followers of these gods can be many things, such as heroic revolutionaries, amoral renegades, or powerful wielders of elemental chaos.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Chaotic Manifestation
2nd	Channel Divinity: Entropic Surge, Channel Divinity: Power of the Maelstrom
6th	On the Side of Chaos
8th	Faithful Path
10th	riend of Fickle Forces
18th	Winds of Madness

Chaotic Manifestation

Select two of the following manifestations of chaos. You can use each manifestation a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and can regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Deliberate Discord

You are able to sow chaos wherever you go. Whenever a creature that you can see targets you with an attack, you can use your reaction to force that creature to make a Wisdom saving throw against your Spell Save DC. On failure, the creature must redirect their attack against another creature or object of your choice within the attack’s range.

Fury of the Abyss

As a bonus action, you can give yourself advantage on melee attacks, melee damage rolls and combat maneuver checks. This bonus lasts for 1 round. During this round, any attacks against you have advantage.

Locus of Chaos

Your god’s unpredictable nature can infuse your spellcasting with chaos. Whenever you cast a cleric spell of 1st level or higher, you can spend the spell slot as normal, but the spell’s effects are treated as if the spell had been cast at the next higher level spell slot. When you use this ability, roll on the Wild Magic Surge table to create a random magical effect.

Channel: Entropic Surge

You can invoke the power of your deity to alter the weave in disorderly ways. As a reaction when a creature that you can see within 60 ft of you casts a spell, you can present your holy symbol to cause the spell to fail, and the creature must roll on the Wild Surge table with disadvantage.

Channel: Power of the Maelstrom

You can Channel Divinity to conjure the maelstrom of the elemental chaos.

As an action, an explosion of chaotic energy targets each hostile creature within 30 feet. A creature takes damage equal to 2d10 + your cleric level on a failed Dexterity saving throw, and half as much damage on a successful one. Roll the type of damage for each target individually according to the Maelstrom Damage Table.

Maelstrom Damage Table

d8	Damage type	d8	Damage type
1	Acid	5	Lightning
2	Cold	6	Poison
3	Fire	7	Psychic
4	Force	8	Thunder

On the Side of Chaos

Whenever you are affected by a spell or effect that has a random effect (e.g. confusion, entropic shield) or use an item with unpredictable effects (e.g. Wand of Wonder, or Deck of Many Things), you make rolls or selections with advantage.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is determined with a roll on the Maelstrom damage table.

Friend of Fickle Forces

When you are forced to make a saving throw, you can choose to make that saving throw with advantage. If you do, you must roll on the Wild Magic Surge table.

Once you have used this feature you cannot use it again until you complete a short rest.

Winds of Madness

Your god manifests their power in full through your actions. As an action, you can unleash a massive burst of chaotic energy. All creatures within a 30 ft radius must make a Charisma saving throw. If they fail, their ties to causality are disrupted.

Whenever the creature takes an action, they must roll on the Wild Magic Surge table to create a random magical effect. This disruption lasts until the start of your next turn.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and can regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Charm Domain

Deities whose portfolios include the Charm domain govern over the ability to control others either through charismatic presence or through enchantment magic. They include deities of beauty, art, pleasure, courtship, love and fertility as well as lust, control, deceit and enchantment magic.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Charmer
2nd	Channel Divinity: Enthralling Prayer

Channel: Enthralling Prayer

You can Channel Divinity to enthrall other creatures. As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a hypnotic prayer. Each creature within 30 ft that can see or hear you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw.

If a creature fails it’s saving throw, it gains the charmed condition for 1 minute or until it takes damage. A charmed creature’s speed drops to 0, and the creature is incapacitated and visibly dazed.

Once the effect ends, or if the creature succeeds its initial saving throw against this effect, you can’t use this feature on that creature again until you finish a long rest.

Instinctive Charm

When a creature that you can see targets you with an attack, you can use your reaction to force that creature to make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On failure, the creature must redirect their attack against another creature or object of your choice within the attack’s range. Creatures that can’t be charmed are immune to this effect.

On a successful save, you can’t use this feature on the attacker again until you finish a long rest.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is radiant.

If you have chosen the Path of the Missionary or Path of the Missionary, you can choose the Split Enchantment feature instead of the usual feature.

Protective Charm

When a creature is forced to roll a saving throw against one of your enchantment spells or abilities, you can make it roll with disadvantage.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and can regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest

Gain immunity to charm and sleep effects. Additionally you gain advantage on saving throws against other enchantment spells or effects.

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. Gods of the Death domain also embody murder, pain, disease, poison and the underworld.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Reaper
2nd	Channel Divinity: Negative Energy
6th	Inescapable Destruction
8th	Faithful Path
10th	Embrace Death
18th	Improved Reaper

Channel: Negative Energy

You can Channel Divinity to release a wave of annihilative energy. As an action on your turn, you force every creature within 30 ft, other than constructs and undead, to make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC. A creature takes necrotic damage equal to 2d6 + half your cleric level on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. An undead within this range instead regains hit points equal to the total.

Inescapable Destruction

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.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is necrotic or poison.

Your body has taken on some of the beneficial aspects of undeath without suffering the consequences. You gain resistance to necrotic and noison damage. Additionally, you only age 1 year for every 10 that pass.

Desert Domain

Gods of the sands and burning sun, deities of cloudless nights and storms of cutting wind, masters of the scorching heat and lords of the desert all call this domain their own. Often as merciless as the lands they claim, many are jealous and generous in equal measure. Clerics of these deities often escort travelers, seek forgotten relics, hunt criminals, and war for peace.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Bonus Skill, Nomadic Endurance
2nd	Channel Divinit: Sandstormy
6th	Dune Walker
8th	Faithful Path
10th	Shifting Sands
18th	Endless Expanse

Bonus Skills

When you take this domain at 1st level, gain the Survival - Desert Survival skill and its prerequisite.

Nomadic Endurance

Your god has blessed you with the resilience to survive the harsh landscape of the desert. You can go for a number of days equal to your cleric level without food before suffering ill effects, and you gain advantage on saving throws against exhaustion from desert conditions. You can see through smoke, fog, dust, swirling sand, and other obscuration caused by gasses.

Channel: Sandstorm

Your god enables you to control the greatest danger in the desert. As an action, you can Channel Divinity to unleash a raging whirlwind of tearing sand in a 60 ft line that is 20 f wide. The area becomes heavily obscured by a cloud of dust until the start of your next turn.

Creatures of your choosing within the area must make a Constitution saving throw against your cleric spell save DC. If they fail, they are blinded until the end of your next turn and take 1d6 slashing damage per two cleric levels you possess. If they succeed, they are not blinded and take half as much damage.

Dune Walker

Your god blesses you with the dance of the fearsome serpents of the desert. You can use a bonus action to teleport up to your movement speed to a location you can see, disappearing in a flash of sand and reforming from dust at the target location. You cannot move and use this action during the same turn.

When you teleport using this feature, you can use your action to cause a cloudy burst of sand to appear, heavily obscuring a 10 ft radius around you until the start of your next turn.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and can regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with the deadliest scorpion venom and the razor-sharp sands upon the wind. The extra damage you deal is poison or slashing.

Shifting Sands

When you cast a cleric spell of 1st level and higher that requires concentration, you can conjure a gust of wind that surrounds you for 1 minute or until your concentration on the spell is broken.

The gust of winds creates a small vortex centered on you, out to a radius of 5 ft. When a hostile creature first enters the area within the vortex or starts its turn there, it must succeed on a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC or be knocked prone.

Endless Expanse

Your god’s domain grows and spreads beyond its borders. You ignore difficult terrain while in desert environments, and gain resistance to fire damage.

You can also cast hallucinatory terrain. When you do so, the area appears to be transformed into a desert, and becomes hot and dry. Creatures of your choosing within the area suffer exhaustion as though exposed to extreme heat. When you cast this spell, you can choose to also cast conjure animals; it does not require concentration and has a duration of 10 days.

Once you have used this feature you cannot use it again until you complete a long rest.

Fate Domain

Diviners and wizards often attempt to peer at the threads that bind the lives of mortals, but gods are the ones who weave those threads with every new birth and death. The deities of death, glory, time, judgement, luck, and prophecy call upon their clerics to act as oracles and seers of fate and future - and to intervene when the time is right.

Those who follow benevolent gods often guide heroes to their destinies, while evil oracles may lead them astray or attempt to meddle with the future to bring prophecies of ruin, destruction and chaos to fruition.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Eye of the Oracle
2nd	Channel Divinity: Severed Threads
6th	Cryptic Advice
8th	Faithful Path
10th	More Cryptic Advice
18th	Prophetic Glimpse

Eye of the Oracle

When you choose this domain at 1st level, your god bestows a mark upon you that signifies your attunement to the threads of fate, such as a third eye, runic tattoo, or halo of mist, which you can conceal at will.

While your mark is revealed, you can use your action to gaze into the future of another person. Until the end of your next turn, your first skill check, attack roll, or saving throw regarding the target is made with advantage.

Channel: Severed Threads

Your god grants you the ability to manipulate fate directly. Whenever you deal damage to a creature, you can use a bonus action and your Channel Divinity feature to attempt to cut its ties to mortality.

The target must make a Charisma saving throw. If they fail, their fate is disrupted: they have disadvantage on the next three rolls they make (ability checks, attack rolls, or saving throws).

Cryptic Advice

You can give a piece of cryptic advice to a creature you share a language with. When that creature makes an attack roll, saving throw, or ability check during the day they can recall your cryptic advice to reroll the die, using the second result instead.

Once a creature has used you Cryptic Advice, it cannot use it again until it completes a long rest.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, you gain the ability to cut directly into the past and future simultaneously. The extra damage you deal is psychic.

More Cryptic Advice

Creature can benefit from two Cryptic Advice each day.

Prophetic Glimpse

Your god grants you the ability to see brief yet perfectly accurate visions of the future. You can choose to activate this feature at the start of your turn.

Record all actions you and others take and the results of rolls made during your turn. If you are satisfied with the results of the events that took place at the end of your turn, this feature ends, as your vision is fulfilled exactly as specified.

If you are not satisfied at that time, you can choose to defy the vision, reverting all events back to exactly how they were at the moment that you declared your use of this feature.

Once you have used this feature you cannot use it again until you complete a long rest.

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 diamondtipped 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.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Bonus Skills, Blessing of the Forge
2nd	Channel Divinity: Artisan’s Blessing
6th	Soul of the Forge
8th	Faithful Path
10th	Behemoth
18th	Saint of Forge and Fire

Bonus Skills

When you take this domain at 1st level, add Craft - Metalwork to your class skills and gain 2 skill points to spend on this skill.

Additionally you gain 1 skill point to spend on the Medium armor or Heavy armor combat skills.

Blessing of the Forge

You gain the ability to imbue magic into a weapon or armor. At the end of a long rest, you can touch one nonmagical armor, shield or 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 is an armor or a shield) or a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls (if it is a weapon).

Channel: Artisan’s Blessing

You can use your Channel Divinity feature to create simple items.

You conduct an hour-long ritual that creates a nonmagical item that must include some metal: a 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 ft of you.

The item 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

Your mastery of the forge grants you a number of special abilities:

• While wearing heavy armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
• You gain resistance to fire damage.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, you do not deal extra damage. Instead, you learn to channel your divine power into a frenzy of weapon strikes. Once on each of your turns when you take the Attack action, you can make an additional weapon attack as part of the same action. If you hit with this additional attack, you can cause that attack’s damage to become fire damage.

When you gain your second Faithful Path power at 14th level, you can instead make a second additional attack, which you can also convert to fire.

Behemoth

Your flame and spirit is an unbreakable defense. You have resistance to nonmagical fire, bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

Saint of Forge and Fire

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.

Fortune Domain

Gods of luck, fortune, and chance are venerated by those individuals that rely on cosmic intervention to make their way through the world, often using the symbol of a coin. Most of these gods embody good luck or random chance, though there are some deities that revel in misfortune. All of them seem attracted at some level to the daring and bold, but they also seem drawn to unknown or undiscovered things, because such things often lead to greater destinies or adventure.

Luck is every adventurer’s best friend, so it is no wonder that gods of fortune and chance are popular among those that regularly risk their lives for fame and fortune.

Although at first glance this domain seems to overlap with Trickery, it is actually quite distinct. A luck god throws the dice; a trickster god tries to weight them.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Fortune’s Friend
2nd	Channel Divinity: Aura of Misfortune
6th	Channel Divinity: Surge of Fortune
8th	Faithful Path
10th	Bend Luck
18th	Impossible Luck

Fortune’s Friend

Beginning at 1st level, you are unnaturally good at things in which you are not skilled. Once per turn when you make an ability check you are not proficient with, you can choose to roll with advantage.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and can regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Channel: Aura of Misfortune

Using a bonus action, you can Channel Divinity to drain the good luck from your adversaries. All living, hostile creatures within 30 ft of you must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your cleric spell DC or suffer disadvantage on all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks until the end of their next turn.

Channel: Surge of Fortune

Using a bonus action, you can Channel Divinity to infuse yourself or a an ally within 30 ft with good luck. Until the end of your next turn, you or the ally has advantage on all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is of the same type dealt by the weapon.

Bend Luck

You have the ability to twist luck. When you or a creature you can see makes a roll, you can use your reaction to reroll. You can affect any roll, including ability checks, damage rolls, wild surges or even a random roll to see how many gp a creature has. You can do so after the rolls but before any effects of the roll occur.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and can regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Impossible Luck

You can use your action to surround yourself with an aura of perfect chance. For 1 minute or until you dismiss the aura using another action, you have advantage on all saving throws against effects that deal damage, and all attack rolls against you are made at disadvantage.

Hunting Domain

Run all you like. For you cannot hide.

– Garmos Saernclaws, Prophet of Malar

The Hunting domain focuses on the sacred link between hunter and prey, a relationship that ties mortals to nature. The gods of hunting represent far more than the mere pursuit of animals or the skills and equipment involved. They signify both the hunt for justice, such as tracking down an enemy who was wronged you or your community, and the sacred spiritual quest that reveals wisdom.

A god of the hunt who is evil emphasizes the power of the hunter, who uses superior strength, cunning, and skill to kill and take what they wish. A good god of the hunt encourages a village or tribe dependent on hunting a certain animal for food to see those animals as their mystical kin, not as prey, and to be careful not to hunt more than they need. Divine patrons of the hunt are more often female than male, and are often tied to forests, seasons (especially autumn), and the moon as well. Like rangers, clerics of this domain walk the frontier between civilization and the wild.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Bonus Skills
2nd	Channel Divinity: Slayer’s Arrow
6th	Living Wind
8th	Faithful Path

Additionally you gain 2 skill points to spend on the Bow weapon group.

Channel: Slayer’s Arrow

Your god teaches you to attack the soul of your quarry. As an action, you can use your Channel Divinity feature to launch an ethereal arrow or spear, striking all creatures in a line up to 200 ft long and 5 ft wide, that passes through walls and obstacles.

Struck targets must make a Wisdom saving throw. If they fail, they take magical piercing damage equal to 2d6 plus your cleric level and are knocked prone. If they succeed, they take half as much damage and are not knocked prone.

Living Wind

The winds of the wildlands come to your call. Whenever you cast a single-target cantrip or attack with a weapon, you can use a bonus action to move up to your speed towards your target. When you do so, ranged and opportunity attacks against you are made with disadvantage until the start of your next turn.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is of the same type dealt by the weapon.

Natural Resistance

Due to repeated exposure to nature, your body’s resistance has increased. You gain proficiency with Constitution saving throws.

Unerring Hunter

You become immune to the effects of difficult terrain and gain a climb speed equal to your walking speed.

You can choose to have your Slayer’s Arrow turn up to three times during its flight and the first creature struck takes additional force damage equal to your cleric level if they fail their saving throw. Each creature cannot be struck more than once per use of this feature.

Knowledge Domain

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 Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Blessings of Knowledge
2nd	Channel Divinity: Knowledge of Ages
6th	Invasive Knowledge

Channel: Knowledge of Ages

You can use your Channel Divinity to tap into a divine well of knowledge. As an action, choose non-combat skill. For 1 hour, you know that skill.

Invasive Knowledge

You can invade other people’s privacy in order to gain more knowledge. As an action you can open up your senses to read a creature’s mind, as long as it is within 30 ft and you can see it.

This mind-reading functions as per the Detect thoughts spell, but you can only read surface thoughts and can’t probe deeper.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is radiant.

Divine Expertise

Gain 2 additional skill points to spend on any non-combat skill.

Visions of the Past

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 use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and can regain all expended uses when you finish a 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.

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, sun gods, gods of healing or endurance, and gods of home and community.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Bonus Skill, Disciple of Life
2nd	Channel Divinity: Mend Wounds
6th	Blessed Healer

Bonus Skills

When you take this domain at 1st level, gain 1 skill point to spend on Medicine.

From 1st level, your healing spells are more effective. Whenever you use a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, the creature regains additional hit points equal to 2 + the spell’s level.

Channel: Mend Wounds

You can 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 five times your cleric level. Choose any creatures within 30 ft of you, and divide those hit points among them. This feature can restore a creature to no more than half of its hit point maximum. You can’t use this feature on an undead or a construct.

The healing spells you cast on others heal you as well. When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that restores hit points to a creature other than you, you regain hit points equal to 2 + the spell’s level.

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is radiant.

13-15	Diseases up to DC 20
16-18	Diseases up to DC 25

Supreme Healing

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.

---

Light Domain

Gods of light 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.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Warding Flare
2nd	Channel Divinity: Radiance of Dawn
6th	Improved Flare
8th	Faithful Path
10th	Guided by Light
18th	Corona of Light

Warding Flare

Also at 1st level, you can interpose divine light between yourself and an attacking enemy. When you are attacked by a creature that you can see within 30 ft, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll, causing light to flare before the attacker before it hits or misses. An attacker that can’t be blinded is immune to this feature.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and can regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Channel: Radiance of Dawn

You can Channel Divinity to harness sunlight, banishing darkness and dealing radiant damage to your foes. As an action, you present your holy symbol, and any magical darkness within 30 ft of you is dispelled.

Additionally, each hostile creature within 30 ft of you must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes radiant damage equal to 2d10 + your cleric level on a failed saving throw, and half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that has total cover from you is not affected.

Improved Flare

You can also use your Warding Flare feature when a creature that you can see within 30 ft attacks a creature other than you.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is radiant.

You can use your action to activate an aura of sunlight that lasts for 1 minute or until you dismiss it using another action. You emit bright light in a 60 ft radius and dim light 30 ft beyond that. Your enemies in the bright light have disadvantage on saving throws against any spell that deals fire or radiant damage.

---

Nature Domain

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.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Acolyte of Nature
2nd	Channel Divinity
6th	Dampen Elements

Each beast or plant creature that can see you within 30 ft of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is charmed by you for 1 minute or until it takes damage. While it is charmed by you, it is friendly to you and other creatures you designate.

Nature’s Bounty. You can Channel Divinity to bestow blessings of the wild upon your allies. As an action, you present your holy symbol and invoke the name of your deity, selecting up to five friendly creatures you can see within 30 ft.

When you or a creature within 30 ft takes acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage, you can use your reaction to grant resistance to the target against that instance of the damage.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is cold, fire, or lightning.

Speech of the Wild

Your speech becomes infused with the natural energies of the world. You are considered to always be under the effects of the Speak with animals spell.

Master of Nature

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.

Ocean Domain

Standing upon the shore and staring into an endless expanse of water for the first time can be a religious experience for some, and certainly is for those who are called to service by a god of the sea. These clerics pursue a wide variety of goals; from calming the waves so that fishermen may survive to summoning terrible monsters from the deep.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Navigator’s Eye, Waves on the Shore
2nd	Channel Divinity: Anchor of Faith
6th	Blood in the Water
8th	Faithful Path
10th	Sailor of Trackless Waters
18th	Call of the Sea

Navigator’s Eye

When you take this domain at 1st level, Physique, Sailor and Swimming are added to your class skills. Additionally you gain 2 skill points to spend on Sailor.

You also gain rank 1 with Fencing swords and Swords.

Waves on the Shore

At 1st level, your god’s power comes to you from the tidal pools and shallows, and from the chitinous creatures that dwell there.

While under water, you can choose to have your base AC equal 13 + your Constitution modifier, as transparent chitin plates form over your skin to protect you. While these plates are present, you can cast spells, act, and breathe normally while underwater.

Channel: Anchor of Faith

You can invoke your deity to hinder the unfaithful. As an action, you present your holy symbol and invoke a spiritual anchor chained to a target you can see within 30 ft. The target must make a Strength saving throw.

On a failure, the creature is chained to the spiritual anchor for 1 minute. While anchored, the creature’s speed is halved, and it cannot move or be moved more than 20 ft from the anchor without a successful Strength check.

Blood in the Water

Your god grants you the fearsome curse of the deadly predators of the seas. Whenever you suffer damage, you can use your reaction to mark one creature you can see with a black, bleeding splotch upon their skin. While a creature is marked, you are aware of its exact location if you are on the same plane. You can only mark one creature at a time using this feature. Marking a new creature erases any previous mark.

If you can see the target, and it is in water, you can use an action to call a spiritual swarm of undersea predators to attack them and those around them. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. If they fail, the predators strike them and all other hostile creatures within 15 ft of them, inflicting 3d10 psychic damage. If they succeed, the splotch fades and the effect ends.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is cold.

Sailor of Trackless Waters

Your skill at navigating improves so that you cannot become lost except by magical means, as long see the stars.

Call of the Sea

Your summons to the ocean is as strong as it’s call to your heart. You can cast wall of water and control water without expending spell slots.

In addition, you gain resistance to cold damage and immunity to exhaustion from swimming or other oceanic conditions and activities.

---

Order Domain

The Order domain represents discipline, as well as service to a society or an institution, whether that service is rendered in obedience to or enforcement of the law—civil, religious, or both. Gods on many worlds grant access to this domain, including Bane, Tyr, Majere, Erathis, Pholtus, Wee Jas, Aureon, Maglubiyet, Nuada, Athena, Anubis, Forseti, and Asmodeus.

The ideal of order is obedience to the law above all else, rather than to a specific individual or the passing influence of emotion or popular rule. Clerics of order are typically concerned with how things are done, rather than whether an action’s results are just. Following the law and obeying its edicts is critical, especially when it benefits these clerics and their deities. More importantly, law establishes hierarchies. Those selected by the law to lead must be obeyed. Those who obey must do so to the best of their ability. In this manner, law creates an intricate web of obligations that allows society to forge order and security in a chaotic multiverse.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Voice of Authority
2nd	Channel Divinity: Order’s Demand
6th	Embodiment of the Law
8th	Faithful Path
10th	Commanding Inspiration
18th	Order’s Wrath

Voice of Authority

You can invoke the power of law to drive an ally to attack. Immediately after you cast a spell on an ally using a spell slot of 1st level or higher, that ally can use their reaction to make one weapon attack. If the spell targets more than one ally, you choose the ally who can make the attack.

Channel: Order’s Demand

You can Channel Divinity to exert an intimidating presence over others. As an action, you present your holy symbol, and each creature of your choice within 30 ft that can see or hear you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or gainm the charmed condition until the end of your next turn or until it takes any damage. You can also cause any of the charmed creatures to drop what they are holding when they fail the saving throw.

Embodiment of the Law

You become remarkably adept at channeling magical energy to compel others. If you cast a spell of the enchantment school using a spell slot of 1st level or higher, 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 proficiency bonus, and can regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is radiant.

Commanding Inspiration

As an action you can speak to a creature within 30 ft that can hear you, to end one effect on that creature that is causing them to be charmed or frightened.

Order’s Wrath

Enemies you designate for destruction wilt under the combined efforts of you and your allies. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack on your turn, you can curse that creature until the start of your next turn. The next time one of your allies hits the cursed creature with an attack, the target also takes 1d8 psychic damage and the curse ends.

---

Protection Domain

The protection domain is the purview of deities who charge their followers to shield the weak from the strong. The gods’ faithful dwell in villages and towns on the borderlands, where they help bolster defenses and seek out evils to defeat. These gods believe that a strong shield and a suit of armor is the best defense against evil, second only to a stout mace on hand to respond to any attacks in kind.

Deities whose portfolios include the protection domain are often deities that also have Life and War in their spheres of control, but also deities that have a penchant for feeling protective of certain followers or of certain aspects of life such as agricultural deities or deities that consider themselves patrons of a society or race.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Shield of the Faithful
2nd	Channel Divinity: Stalwart Defense
6th	Blessed Healer
8th	Faithful Path
10th	Protective Bond
18th	Indomitable Defense

Shield of the Faithful

You gain the ability to hinder attacks intended for others. When a creature attacks a target other than you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. To do so, you must be adjacent to both the attacker and the target. You interpose an arm, a shield, or some other part of yourself to try to throw the attack off target.

Channel: Stalwart Defense

You can Channel Divinity to shield an ally. As an action, you may target a creature within 60 ft, placing a ward on them for 1 minute. The first time the creature takes damage while having this ward, that damage is reduced to 0, and the ward disappears.

Blessed Healer

Healing spells you cast on others can heal you as well. When you cast a spell with a spell slot and it restores hit points to any creature other than you this turn, you regain hit points equal to 2 + the spell’s level.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is radiant.

Protective Bond

You can forge a protective bond among allies. As an action, you choose a number of willing adjacent creatures equal to your proficiency bonus (this can include yourself). You create a magical bond among them for 10 minutes or until you use this feature again. While a bonded creature is about to take damge, a second bonded creature within 10 ft of the first can use its reaction take all the damage instead.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and can regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Indomitable Defense

You gain resistance to two damage types of your choice, choosing from bludgeoning, necrotic, piercing, radiant, and slashing. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can change the damage types you chose.

As an action, you can temporarily give up this resistance and transfer it to one creature you touch. The creature keeps the resistance until your next short rest or until you transfer it back to yourself as a bonus action.

Repose Domain

Many gods of the dead 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.

The Repose domain is one of righteous protection against the most unholy of forces: undeath. It channels the power of Good- and Neutral-aligned deities to guide wayward souls and ghosts into the next plane of existence, helping them leave the material plane. When those spirits are uncooperative, or worse, are evil and malign, adherents of this domain are given the power to punish them and banish them to the depths of the hells or abyss.

Followers of these deities also seek to put wandering spirits to rest, destroy the undead, but also ease the suffering of the dying. Their magic also allows them to stave off death for a time, particularly for a person who still has some great work to accomplish in the world. This is a delay of death, not a denial of it, for death will eventually get its due.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Eyes of the Grave, Ferryman’s Mercy
2nd	Channel Divinity: Positive Energy
6th	Sentinel at Death’s Door
8th	Faithful Path
10th	Keeper of Souls
18th	Not Your Time

Eyes of the Grave

As an action, you can sense the presence of the undead. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any undead within 60 ft not behind total cover.

Ferryman’s Mercy

You stand as a warden at the Black Gates of death, keeping nearby allies out of the grave. You project an aura of stygian vigilance that extends 10 ft from you. At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 ft.

When a creature within your aura is reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can use your reaction to make a Wisdom check. The DC equals 10 or half the damage the creature took, whichever number is higher. If you succeed, the creature is reduced to 1 hit point instead, and you can’t use this feature on that creature again until you finish a long rest.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and can regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Channel: Positive Energy

You can Channel Divinity to release a wave of positive energy. As an action on your turn during combat, you cause every creature within 30 ft, other than constructs and undead, to regain hit points equal to 2d6 + half your cleric level. An undead within this range must instead make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC, taking radiant damage equal to the total on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Sentinel at Death’s Door

You gain the ability to impede death’s progress. As a reaction when you or a creature within 30 ft that you can see suffers a critical hit, you can turn that hit into a normal hit. Any effects triggered by a critical hit are canceled.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and can regain all expended uses when you finish a short rest.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is necrotic or radiant.

Keeper of Souls

You can seize a trace of vitality from a parting soul and use it to heal the living. When you see an enemy within 60 ft die, as a reaction you or one creature of your choice within 60 ft regains hit points equal to the enemy’s number of Hit Dice.

Not Your Time

You are able to declare when it is not someones time to die. When a creature within 120 ft of you would be killed by unnatural means, you can use your reaction to prevent that death. The creature is instead rendered unconscious and stabilized. While unconscious this way, they are immune to all damage and can not regain any hit points. This stasis ends after 1 hour, upon which they regain 1 hit point.

Upon using this feature, you can not use it again until you complete a long rest.

Strength to go on. You can use Channel Divinity to ameliorate fatigue and reinvigorate your allies. As an action, you present your holy symbol, and choose any number of willing creatures you can see within 30 ft. Each chosen recipient regains a number of spent Hit Dice equal to your proficiency bonus.

Channel: Burst of Strength

Whenever you start your turn grappled or restrained, you may use your reaction and your Channel Divinity to end the effect. If you were restrained by a physical device, you break it.

Further, whenever an effect would forcibly move you some distance or knock you prone, you may use your reaction and Channel Divinity to remain still and upright; if the effect was the result of a melee attack, the attacker is instead pushed backwards the distance they attempted to push you, or knocked prone if they attempted to knock you prone.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is bludgeoning.

Behemoth

Your strength is an unbreakable defense. All non-magical damage is reduced by an amount equal to your proficiency bonus.

When you hit a creature with a melee attack, you may use your reaction to attempt to shove or grapple it, regardless of its size.

Survival Domain

Clerics and shamans of primitive tribes living in harsh environments have no greater mission than ensuring the survival of their tribes. The gods of survival often have other domains in similar realms, such as life or nature. The worshippers who work within the Survival domain, however, are much more primal and brutal than their counterparts.

The gods of primitive and uncivilized races are most likely to hold this domain: lizardfolk god Semuanya and orc goddess Luthic are prime examples of deities whose clerics embrace the Survival domain. They are more likely to remain in their territories, nurturing and protecting their flocks, but fighting fiercely when a threat invades their lairs.

Domain Features

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and can regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Channel: Encourage the Troops

You can Channel Divinity to bolster the fighting abilities of your allies. As an action, you present your holy symbol and invoke the survival instincts of your deity.

Due to repeated exposure to nature, your body’s resistance has increased. You gain proficiency with Constitution saving throws.

They include gods of lightning and thunder, gods of earthquakes, some fire gods, and certain gods of violence, physical strength, and courage. In some pantheons, a god of this domain rules over other deities and is known for swift justice delivered by thunderbolts. In the pantheons of seafaring people, gods of this domain are ocean deities and the patrons of sailors. Tempest gods send their clerics to inspire fear in the common folk, either to keep those folk on the path of righteousness or to encourage them to offer sacrifices to ward off divine wrath.

Domain Features

1st	Wrath of the Storm

Time Domain

The Time domain deals with the flow of time. Few deities offer access to this domain, as it is quite esoteric and dangerous to tamper with. In some games, there may be powerful rituals usable by clerics with this domain that allow creatures or objects to travel into the past or future, or to move sideways through time into parallel worlds with different histories, while in other campaigns, any sort of time travel might be forbidden or even impossible.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Moment of Pause, Time is at your side
2nd	Channel Divinity: Choose Future
6th	Channel Divinity: Stall
8th	Faithful Path
10th	Delay Damage
18th	Relentless Touch of Time

Moment of Pause

As a melee spell attack, you can stop time for one creature briefly, freezing them in place. For one round, the creature can take no action and experiences time as if that round never took place. Because the target of this ability does not experience the flow of time it cannot be affected by any event, attack, spell or effect as per the time stop spell.

Time is at your side

If you have the prerequisites (Perception), the Keen awareness skill has cost 0 for you.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is necrotic.

Delay Damage

Your ability to manipulate time is so precise you’re able to freeze it for a fraction of a second to avoid danger. When you would normally be hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to stop time long enough to get out of harm’s way. The attack misses and fails to affect you, and you move to a location within 5 ft. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks.

After you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.

Relentless Touch of Time

As an action, you can call upon the power of entropy to cast disintegrate by touch.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and can regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Trickery Domain

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.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Blessing of the Trickster, Improved Minor Illusion

As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the illusion up to 30 ft to a space you can see, but it must remain within 120 ft.

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 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.

The clerics of such gods excel in battle, inspiring others to fight the good fight or offering acts of violence as prayers.

Winter Domain

Winter is a time of both cold brutality and togetherness, and Winter clerics often epitomize one or both of these principles, leaving the dead to lie buried in snowdrifts, or saving a village of people beset by dark tidings. People may turn to these clerics for warm comfort in troubled times, or to be instruments or dark, remorseless wrath against those that are affronts to their gods.

Gods and goddesses of Winter usually have radically different ideas of what their domain means, and pass their specific dogma onto their followers. Some see the winter’s colds as a cleansing or a dying-off time, while others champion the brutal, survivalistic focus that winter brings, focusing on the struggle for life that exists within the snows. Of course, clerics of Winter readily adopt these philosophies, and ensure they are put to practice as the clerics wander the wider world.

Deities whose portfolios include the Cold domain govern over all aspects of the physical cold and ice, winter, frost, elemental ice and creatures associated with ice and those who dwell in cold and icy environments such as the northern reaches and high mountains.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Frost’s Fortitude
2nd	Channel Divinity: Cold Snap
6th	Rime
8th	Faithful Path
10th	Glacial Wreath
18th	Blizzard

Frost’s Fortitude

Winter’s power grants you endurance and strength where others would falter. You take no penalties and suffer no damage from mundane cold environments or weather.

Channel: Cold Snap

You can Channel Divinity to wreath those who oppose you in the fury of winter, instantly freezing them to the ground where they stand. As an action, you may present your holy symbol and call upon the wrath of your deity.

All creatures within a 10 ft radius centered on a point within 60 ft must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC. A creature that fails this saving throw becomes frozen in place for 1 minute. That creatures is grappled until it breaks free; the DC to escape this grapple is equal to your spell save DC.

Rime

You can rime with frost those who would dare strike you or your allies. When a creature within 30 ft attacks, you may use your reaction to chill the attacking creature with a torrent of arctic power, slowing their movements and draining their fortitude.

Until the end of the affected creature’s next turn, its movement speed is halved, it makes Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution checks with disadvantage, and the first Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution saving throw the creature makes has disadvantage. If a creature affected by this ability is hit with an attack, it takes additional damage from that attack equal to your Wisdom modifier. This ability has no effect on creatures with immunity or resistance to cold damage.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and can regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is cold.

As an action, you conjure a powerful blizzard that lasts for 1 minute, or until you lose your concentration. The blizzard is centered in a point you can see within 120 ft, which occupies a 120 ft tall cylinder with a 100 ft radius. The area is heavily obscured to all creatures, other than a number of creatures of your choice you can see up to your Wisdom modifier.

Creatures starting their turn within the blizzard (other than those you have designated) must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC.

You can dismiss this blizzard as a part of any other action. You can use this once and can regain its use when you finish a long rest.

Balanced Scale of Abadar

Balanced scales of Abadar fulfill a specialized role, especially in Katapesh. In addition to utilizing their powers of mercantilism, balanced scales seek out lost, unclaimed, or wrongly seized wealth among the many tombs and ruins of the Katapesh desert. Balanced scales of Abadar develop unique powers that afford them the ability to enter dangerous areas where lost treasure can be restored to the light or hidden goods can be returned to their rightful owners.

A balanced scale finds the most satisfaction in discovering long-lost treasures hidden in unmarked strongholds, owned by now nameless individuals of the past. A balanced scale can claim such wealth for her own and use it to further the strength of her church.

Domain Features

Cleric Level	Feature
1st	Bonus Skills, Bypass Ward
2nd	Channel Divinity: Bottomless Bag
6th	Channel Divinity: Access the Vault
8th	Potent Spellcasting
10th	Unfailing Logic
17th	Vault Jump

Bonus Skills

A balanced scale must estimate value quickly and accurately, particularly when in a dangerous environment such as an underground tomb. If you have the prerequisite (Investigation), the Appraisal skill has cost 0 for you.

Also, getting permission to enter treasure-laden ruins sometimes requires talking to the right people and handing around a few coins for bribes, “finder’s fees,” and so on. You learn which palms to grease and what promises to make. If you have the prerequisite (Speechcraft), the Mercantilism skill has cost 0 for you.

Your proficiency bonus is doubled when you offer an appropriate bribe (minimum 10 gp × the level of the recipient) during the interaction, as well as on Charisma checks made to compel a bound creature to perform a service when using the planar binding (and similar) spell.

Bypass Ward

Ancient ruins often contain locked and sometimes warded doors which needs to be passed. Add Burglary to your class skills and gain 1 skill point to spend on it.

By expending a 1st level spell slot, you can temporarily suppress a magic ward on a door for 1 minute, including both magical locks and trap glyphs.

Channel: Bottomless Bag

You can Channel Divinity to temporarily turn any ordinary container into a bag of holding.

As an action, you turn any ordinary sack, backpack, or other container into a bag of holding. The container remains a bag of holding for 1 hour per cleric level; after the duration expires, the container resumes its normal properties, and any items too large to fit within its true dimensions immediately and harmlessly fall out of the opening. Unlike a permanent bag of holding, the bag created by this ability cannot be overloaded or ruptured, nor does it have any special interaction with other kinds of extradimensional spaces.

Channel: Access the Vault

You can Channel Divinity to access the First Vault, Abadar’s planar repository for perfect versions of every item ever made.

You can summon a copy of any one nonmagical item as long as its market price is equal to or less than 500 gp per cleric level and its volume is less than 1 cubic foot per cleric level. The item remains for 1 minute per cleric level, after which it returns to the Vault.

Items taken from the First Vault are obviously of exceptional quality and radiate magic, and their unearthly perfection is enough to make any potential buyer suspicious. The church of Abadar frowns on selling items from the Vault, as it is essentially stealing from the buyer (as the items vanish shortly thereafter), which disrupts faith in fair trade and the church.

Balanced scales who abuse this ability lose access to all their class abilities until they have atoned for their transgression.

Faithful Path

If you have chosen the Path of the Crusader, the extra damage you deal is radiant.

Unfailing Logic

Your experience teaches you to anchor yourself in reality, granting resistance to even the most potent illusions. You gain advantage on saving throws against illusions.

Vault Jump

Those who drive hard bargains and search for lost treasures sometimes bite off more than they can chew, and a quick exit is often the only way to escape a bad situation alive.

You can create a one-way portal through the First Vault, which has one of two effects. First, you may use the portal as if it were a teleport spell. Second, you may use the portal as if you were casting word of recall, but instead of returning to a sanctuary, you always returns to the closest active temple of Abadar.

You can do this once, and this use recovers when you finish a long rest.
