Clerics are intermediaries between the mortal world and the distant planes of the gods. As varied as the gods they serve, clerics strive to embody the handiwork of their deities. No ordinary priest, a cleric is imbued with divine magic.

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 + your Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast a cleric spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use a holy symbol as a spellcasting focus for your cleric spells.
class features:
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, 8th, and 17th 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: Turn Undead and an effect determined by your domain. Some domains grant you additional effects as you advance in levels, as noted in the domain description.
When you use your Channel Divinity, you choose which effect to create. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Divinity again.
Some Channel Divinity effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your cleric spell save DC.
Beginning at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity twice between rests, and beginning at 18th level, you can use it three times between rests. When you finish a short or long rest, you regain your expended uses.
Channel Divinity: Turn Undead
As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.
Harness Divine Power
At 2nd level, you can expend a use of your Channel Divinity to fuel your spells. As a bonus action, you touch your holy symbol, utter a prayer, and regain one expended spell slot, the level of which can be no higher than half your proficiency bonus (rounded up). The number of times you can use this feature is based on the level you've reached in this class: 2nd level, once; 6th level, twice; and 18th level, thrice. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Destroy Undead
Starting at 5th level, when an undead fails its saving throw against your Turn Undead feature, the creature is instantly destroyed if its challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold, as shown in the Cleric table above.
Divine Intervention
Beginning at 10th level, you can call on your deity to intervene on your behalf when your need is great.
Imploring your deity's aid requires you to use your action. Describe the assistance you seek, and roll percentile dice. If you roll a number equal to or lower than your cleric level, your deity intervenes. The DM chooses the nature of the intervention; the effect of any cleric spell or cleric domain spell would be appropriate. If your deity intervenes, you can't use this feature again for 7 days. Otherwise, you can use it again after you finish a long rest.
At 20th level, your call for intervention succeeds automatically, no roll required.
subclass options:
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.
Cleric Level | Spell |

Detect Magic, Magic Missile |

Magic Weapon, Nystul's Magic Aura |

Arcane Initiate
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency in the Arcana skill, and you gain two cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. For you, these cantrips count as cleric cantrips.
Channel Divinity: Arcane Abjuration
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to abjure otherworldly creatures.
As an action, you present your holy symbol, and one celestial, elemental, fey, or fiend of your choice that is within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw, provided that the creature can see or hear you. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly end its move in a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can only use the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.
After you reach 5th level, when a creature fails its saving throw against your Arcane Abjuration feature, the creature is banished for 1 minute (as in the Banishment spell, no concentration required) if it isn't on its plane of origin and its challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold, as shown on the Arcane Banishment table.

Potent Spellcasting
Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.
Arcane Mastery
At 17th level, you choose four spells from the wizard spell list, one from each of the following levels: 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th. You add them to your list of domain spells. Like your other domain spells, they are always prepared and count as cleric spells for you.
Forge Domain
The gods of the forge are patrons of artisans who work with metal, from a humble blacksmith who keeps a village in horseshoes and plow blades to the mighty elf artisan whose diamond-tipped arrows of mithral have felled demon lords. The gods of the forge teach that, with patience and hard work, even the most intractable metal can be transformed from a lump of ore to a beautifully wrought object. Clerics of these deities search for objects lost to the forces of darkness, liberate mines overrun by orcs, and uncover rare and wondrous materials necessary to create potent magic items. Followers of these gods take great pride in their work, and they are willing to craft and use heavy armor and powerful weapons to protect them

Bonus Proficiencies
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency with heavy armor and smith's tools.
Blessing of the Forge
At 1st level, you gain the ability to imbue magic into a weapon or armor. At the end of a long rest, you can touch one nonmagical object that is a suit of armor or a simple or martial weapon. Until the end of your next long rest or until you die, the object becomes a magic item, granting a +1 bonus to AC if it's armor or a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls if it's a weapon.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
Channel Divinity: Artisan's Blessing
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to create simple items.
You conduct an hour-long ritual that crafts a nonmagical item that must include some metal: a simple or martial weapon, a suit of armor, ten pieces of ammunition, a set of tools, or another metal object. The creation is completed at the end of the hour, coalescing in an unoccupied space of your choice on a surface within 5 feet of you.
The thing you create can be something that is worth no more than 100 gp. As part of this ritual, you must lay out metal, which can include coins, with a value equal to the creation. The metal irretrievably coalesces and transforms into the creation at the ritual's end, magically forming even nonmetal parts of the creation.
The ritual can create a duplicate of a nonmagical item that contains metal, such as a key, if you possess the original during the ritual.
Soul of the Forge
Starting at 6th level, your mastery of the forge grants you special abilities:
- You gain resistance to fire damage.
- While wearing heavy armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with the fiery power of the forge. 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 fire damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
Saint of Forge and Fire
At 17th level, your blessed affinity with fire and metal becomes more powerful:
- You gain immunity to fire damage.
- While wearing heavy armor, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks.
Grave Domain
Gods of the grave watch over the line between life and death. To these deities, death and the afterlife are a foundational part of the multiverse’s workings. To resist death, or to desecrate the dead’s rest, is an abomination. Deities of the grave include Kelemvor, Wee Jas, the ancestral spirits of the Undying Court, Hades, Anubis, and Osiris. These deities teach their followers to respect the dead and pay them due homage. Followers of these deities seek to put restless spirits to rest, destroy the undead wherever they find them, and ease the suffering of dying creatures. Their magic also allows them to stave off a creature’s death, though they refuse to use such magic to extend a creature’s lifespan beyond its mortal limits.

Circle of Mortality
At 1st level, you gain the ability to manipulate the line between life and death. When you would normally roll one or more dice to restore hit points with a spell to a creature at 0 hit points, you instead use the highest number possible for each die.
In addition, you learn the Spare the Dying cantrip, which doesn't count against the number of cleric cantrips you know. For you, it has a range of 30 feet, and you can cast it as a bonus action.
Eyes of the Grave
At 1st level, you gain the ability to occasionally sense the presence of the undead, whose existence is an insult to the natural cycle of life. As an action, you can open your awareness to magically detect undead. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any undead within 60 feet of you that isn't behind total cover and that isn't protected from divination magic. This sense doesn't tell you anything about a creature's capabilities or identity.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Channel Divinity: Path to the Grave
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to mark another creature’s life force for termination.
As an action, you choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you, cursing it until the end of your next turn. The next time you or an ally of yours hits the cursed creature with an attack, the creature has vulnerability to all of that attack's damage, and then the curse ends.
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 a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Potent Spellcasting
Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.
Keeper of Souls
At 17th level, you can seize a trace of vitality from a parting soul and use it to heal the living. When an enemy you can see dies within 30 feet of you, you or one ally of your choice that is within 30 feet of you regains hit points equal to the enemy’s number of Hit Dice. You can use this feature only if you aren't incapacitated. Once you use it, you can't do so again until the start of your next turn.
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.

Channel Divinity: Read Thoughts
At 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to read a creature's thoughts. You can then use your access to the creature's mind to command it.
As an action, choose one creature that you can see within 60 feet of you. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature succeeds on the saving throw, you can't use this feature on it again until you finish a long rest.
If the creature fails its save, you can read its surface thoughts (those foremost in its mind, reflecting its current emotions and what it is actively thinking about) when it is within 60 feet of you. This effect lasts for 1 minute.
During that time, you can use your action to end this effect and cast the Suggestion spell on the creature without expending a spell slot. The target automatically fails its saving throw against the spell.
Potent Spellcasting
Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.
Visions of the Past
Starting at 17th level, you can call up visions of the past that relate to an object you hold or your immediate surroundings. You spend at least 1 minute in meditation and prayer, then receive dreamlike, shadowy glimpses of recent events. You can meditate in this way for a number of minutes equal to your Wisdom score and must maintain concentration during that time, as if you were casting a spell.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Object Reading. Holding an object as you meditate, you can see visions of the object's previous 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 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.

Channel Divinity: Preserve Life
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to heal the badly injured.
As an action, you present your holy symbol and evoke healing energy that can restore a number of hit points equal to five times your cleric level. Choose any creatures within 30 feet 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.
Blessed Healer
Beginning at 6th level, 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.
Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 radiant damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
Supreme Healing

Light Domain
Gods of light 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.

When you are attacked by a creature within 30 feet of you that you can see, 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 Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Channel Divinity: Radiance of the Dawn
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your 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 feet of you is dispelled. Additionally, each hostile creature within 30 feet 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.

Nature Domain
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.

Order Domain
Clerics of Order believe that well-crafted laws establish legitimate hierarchies, and those selected by law to lead must be obeyed. Those who obey must do so to the best of their ability, and if those who lead fail to protect the law, they must be replaced. In this manner, law weaves a web of obligations that create order and security in a chaotic multiverse.

If the spell targets more than one ally, you choose the ally who can make the attack.

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to exert an intimidating presence over others.
As an action, you present your holy symbol, and each creature of your choice that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you until the end of your next turn or until the charmed creature takes any damage.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.
Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 psychic damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
Order's Wrath
Starting at 17th level, enemies you designate for destruction wilt under the combined efforts of you and your allies. If you deal your Divine Strike damage to a creature 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 2d8 psychic damage, and the curse ends. You can curse a creature in this way only once per turn.
Peace Domain
Clerics of the Peace Domain preside over the signing of treaties, and they are often asked to arbitrate in disputes. These clerics' blessings draw people together and help them shoulder one another's burdens, and the clerics' magic aids those who are driven to fight for the way of peace.

You create a magical bond among them for 10 minutes or until you use this feature again. While any bonded creature is within 30 feet of another, the creature can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw it makes. Each creature can add the d4 no more than once per turn.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Channel Divinity: Balm of Peace
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to make your very presence a soothing balm.

A creature can receive this healing only once whenever you take this action.
Protective Bond
Beginning at 6th level, the bond you forge between people helps them protect each other. When a creature affected by your Emboldening Bond feature is about to take damage, a second bonded creature within 30 feet of the first can use its reaction to teleport to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the first creature. The second creature then takes all the damage instead.
Potent Spellcasting
At 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

Bloodletting Focus
Starting at 1st level, your divine magic draws the blood from magically inflicted wounds, worsening the agony of your foes. When you cast a damage-dealing spell of 1st level or higher whose duration is instantaneous, any creature with blood that takes damage from the spell takes extra necrotic damage equal to 2 + the spell’s level.
Channel Divinity: Crimson Bond
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to form a supernatural bond with a creature you can see, or with a creature for which you possess a blood sample. This bond lasts for 1 hour or until your concentration is broken (as if concentrating on a spell).
While the bond is in effect, you can use an action to learn the target’s approximate distance and direction from you, as well as its current hit points and any conditions affecting it, as long as the target is within 10 miles of you. Alternatively, you can use your action to attempt to connect with the target’s senses. You take 2d6 necrotic damage and the target makes a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a successful save, the bond ends. On a failure, you can choose to either see or hear through the target’s senses for a number of minutes equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1 minute). During this time, you are blinded or deafened (respectively) with regard to your own senses. When the connection ends, the bond is lost.
Regardless of the outcome, the target feels a wave of unease pass over it when it makes this save.
Channel Divinity: Blood Puppet
Starting at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to briefly control a creature’s actions — whether that creature is living or dead. As an action, you target a Large or smaller creature or corpse within 60 feet of you that has blood. A creature you target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or become charmed by you. An unconscious creature automatically fails its saving throw, and isn’t incapacitated while you control its actions. A corpse targeted by this effect gains a semblance of life that you control.
On the affected creature or animated corpse’s turn, you can command it (no action required) to move up to half its speed and use its action to do one of the following:
Interact with an object
Make a single attack
Do nothing
An animated corpse or an unconscious creature takes its turn immediately after yours, but can’t move or take actions unless you command it to do so. Its statistics are the same as when it was alive or conscious.
An affected living creature makes a new saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. For any target, your control lasts for 1 minute or until your concentration is broken (as if concentrating on a spell).
At 17th level, you can use this feature to target a Huge or smaller creature or corpse.
Sanguine Recall
At 6th level, you can sacrifice a portion of your own vitality to recover expended spell slots as an action. The spell slots can have a combined level equal to or less than half your cleric level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher. You take 1d8 necrotic damage for each spell slot level recovered, which can’t be reduced in any way. You can’t use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
For example, if you’re an 8th-level cleric, you can recover up to four levels of spell slots — a single 4th-level slot, two 2nd-level slots, a 3rd-level slot and a 1st-level slot, or four 1st-level slots. You then take 4d8 necrotic damage.
Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to cause the physical wounds you deal out to bleed profusely. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
Vascular Corruption Aura
At 17th level, you can use your action to emit a deathly aura of necrotic energy that causes the veins of nearby foes to burst and bleed. For 1 minute, any hostile creature with blood that moves within 30 feet of you for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there takes 3d6 necrotic damage. If a hostile creature with blood regains hit points while in the aura, it regains only half as many hit points as expected.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
Mind Domain
This path blends divine devotion and psychic power. The forces tied to the Mind domain teach followers that the mind is the greatest tool and the mightiest weapon in creation. A cleric of the Mind domain learns to harness their own mental power, then uses this gift to protect the faithful and smite enemies.

Flash of Insight
Starting at 1st level, you can summon power from a well of mental energy at your core. When you make an ability check, you can choose to reroll it after you see the result, but before you know if it succeeds or fails. You get a bonus to this reroll equal to half of your cleric level (minimum of 1).
You can use this feature twice. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
Psychic Force
Also at 1st level, you learn to buffet your foes with mental power. When you cast a cleric spell or cantrip that inflicts radiant damage, you can choose to have it inflict psychic damage instead.
Channel Divinity: Psychic Feedback
Beginning at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to disrupt a foe’s mind. When a creature within 30 feet of you has to make a Wisdom saving throw, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on it using your Channel Divinity. You must use this feature before you know the outcome of the roll.
If the spell or effect that caused the Wisdom saving throw is not created by a spell you cast, you can also choose to deal psychic damage to the target, equal to half your cleric level, immediately before the target makes its saving throw.
Gestalt Anchor
Beginning at 6th level, your mental power increases, settling the minds of those around you with your mere presence. Whenever you or a friendly creature within 10 feet of you must make an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw, the creature gains a +2 bonus to the saving throw. You must be conscious to grant this bonus.
Potent Spellcasting
Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.
Bend Reality
Starting at 17th level, when you see an ally within 30 feet of you fail a saving throw, you can replace the roll with a 20, potentially changing the outcome. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Moon Domain
Clerics of the Moon Domain draw on their divine connection to the moons to wield light and shadow, invoke good fortune and ill favor, and reveal or conceal as they see fit. Some seek to protect the vulnerable and do good in the world, while others meddle with impunity and distort the truth for selfish gain. Other Moon clerics worship not the gods but the moons themselves, especially those with an innate connection to the lunar cycles through lycanthropy.

Clarity of Zarantyr
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you learn to shine light upon the mind’s most dire moments, shielding those you protect. When a creature within 30 feet of you that you can see makes a Wisdom saving throw, you can use your reaction to grant that creature advantage on the save.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Channel Divinity: Blessing of the Full Moon
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to infuse your allies with bestial power. As an action, you instill a willing creature of your choice within 30 feet of you that you can see with one of the following blessings of your choice:
Blessing of the Watchful Moon. For 1 hour, the blessed creature’s speed increases by 10 feet, and it has advantage on Wisdom (Perception or Survival) checks involving smell or made to track a creature.
Blessing of the Blood-Drenched Moon. For 10 minutes, the blessed creature has advantage on attack rolls against a target if at least one of the blessed creature’s allies is within 5 feet of the target and the ally isn’t incapacitated.
Channel Divinity: Mind of Twelve Moons
Starting at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to invoke the arcana of Eberron’s moons. By expending one use of Channel Divinity, you can cast a second concentration spell while already concentrating on a first spell, as long as both spells are on your list of Moon Domain spells. If you need to make a Constitution saving throw to maintain your concentration on both spells, you make the save with disadvantage. On a failure, you lose concentration on both spells.
Empowered Cantrips
Starting at 8th level, your cleric cantrips deal extra damage equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1).
Eclipse of Aryth
At 17th level, you can call upon the vermillion moon Ruidus to flare in the sky above you, eclipsing all other light. Its power surrounds you even where the sky can’t be seen, and even on other planes. As a bonus action, you can manifest an area of reddish, dim light in a 60-foot radius around you. In addition to the normal effects of dim light, creatures in the area make saving throws with disadvantage. When you create this eclipse, you can choose any number of creatures that are unaffected by it.
This eclipse lasts while you concentrate (as if concentrating on a spell) for up to 1 minute. Concentrating on this feature counts as concentrating on a Moon Domain spell for the purpose of your Mind of Twelve Moons feature.
Additionally, once per turn when you deal radiant damage to any creatures in this area of dim light, you can curse one of those creatures until the eclipse ends (no action required). A creature cursed in this way has its speed halved and can’t regain hit points.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
Sovereign Domain
Be it war, storm, death itself, faith has more
than one bastion, and these individual aspects
create the maelstrom of existence. Rather than
limiting devotion to a single deity, a vicar of the
Sovereign Host embraces an entire pantheon of
gods and goddesses. When blades are drawn,
the Sovereign cleric calls on war gods Dol Dorn
and Dol Arrah. When it’s time to for negotiation,
the priest looks to Kol Korran for inspiration.
While some realms overlap slightly, one who
specializes in omnitheism knows the right
Sovereign dominion for each occasion.
As a representative of many gods, a Sovereign
priest can draw on a wide selection of spells.
However, this also means that the common
people will call on the cleric with a wide variety
of problems. Marauding bandits? A cursed forge?
A wedding ceremony? The Sovereign cleric can
handle all of these.

Also at 1st level, you have spent countless hours
studying the portfolios of deities across your
pantheons, and learned to acknowledge their
influence all around you in both peace and war.
You gain proficiency in martial weapons and
can use any weapon you are proficient with as a
spellcasting focus for your cleric spells.
Channel Divinity: Omnitheist
Your belief in the omnipresence of the gods
allows you to call upon the goodwill of any divine
presence in the pantheon. As an action, you
can use your Channel Divinity to choose one
spell from any domain spell list. For the next 10
minutes, you can cast this spell as if it were a
domain spell for you. The spell must be from the
same level of spells you would gain access to at
your level.
Encouraging Whispers
Starting at 6th level, while you are concentrating
on a cleric spell, you add your Wisdom modifier
(minimum of 1) to concentration checks made to
maintain your spell.

cleric cantrips, you add your Wisdom modifier to
the damage you deal.
Sovereign Vassal
At 17th level, choose five spells from any domain
spell list (the five needn’t be from the same list),
one from each of the following levels of the
table: 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th. Like your other
domain spells, they are always prepared and
count as cleric spells for you.
Artistry Domain
Gods of artistry
promote creativity and imagination above all. These gods value
all of the arts, including music, painting, sculpting, and other
skilled crafts, though they often specialize in one craft above the
others. Clerics of a god of artistry are creative souls infused with
the desire to create and share their emotions with others, whether
through song, artwork, or other means.

painter’s supplies, potter’s tools, or woodcarver’s tools. Also, you
gain proficiency in a musical instrument of your choice.
Artistic Compositions
Also at 1st level, you can conjure magical pieces of artwork that
you design in your mind. Over a long rest, you can create musical
compositions, paintings, and sculptures. You can create a number
of these objects equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of
1), and they can last until you complete your next long rest. You
can create a single option multiple times, or create a variety of
different options. The options are described below:
- Musical Composition. You write a musical composition upon a few conjured pages. As an action, you can cause the music to magically play within the mind of a creature you can see within 15 feet of you. That creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you until the start of your next turn. A creature charmed this way can’t willingly move away from you. As you use this action, the pages disintegrate into nothingness.
- Painting. You conjure a painting of your design that fits within a rectangular area no larger than 3 feet on a side, and no smaller than half a foot on a side. As an action, you can enter into the painting if you are within 5 feet of it. You, along with anything you’re wearing or carrying, disappears before appearing at a location of your choice within the painting. You can remain within the painting for up to 10 minutes, though you are also forced out if the painting takes any damage. While within the painting, you can see, hear, and smell as normal. Once you leave the painting, it disintegrates into nothingness.
- Sculpture. You conjure a tiny sculpture of yourself. While you are within 30 feet of the sculpture, you can use your bonus action to teleport to its location. If there is insufficient room at the sculpture’s location, you teleport to the location nearest to the sculpture that has sufficient room for you. Once you teleport, the sculpture disintegrates into nothingness.
Channel Divinity: Deluge of Creativity
Beginning at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to fill
a creature’s mind with music and color, drowning out reality.
As an action, you present your holy symbol, and a creature you
can see within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw.
On a failed save, the creature is blinded and deafened until the
end of your next turn or until it takes any damage, as vibrant
colors fill its vision and beautiful music drowns out all other
noise. On a successful save, the creature is not blinded nor
deafened, but it still has disadvantage on attack rolls until the end
of your next turn or until it takes any damage.
Regardless of whether the creature succeeded or failed its save,
if it takes any damage before the end of your next turn, it is dealt
additional psychic damage equal to 1d4 + half your cleric level.
Channel Divinity: Bring to Life
At 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to create real
creatures and objects from artwork.
As an action, you touch your holy symbol to a piece of artwork
and cause a single object or creature depicted within that piece to
be conjured at an unoccupied location within 30 feet of you, in a
perfectly realistic form. To be an eligible target, the real version
of a selected creature or object must fit within a 10-foot cube. If
the target is a creature, it must either be a beast of CR 1/4 or
below or a CR 0 creature of any creature type. A conjured
creature is friendly to you and obeys your commands. Any
creature or object conjured by this feature lasts for 1 hour or until
it is destroyed or dismissed as a bonus action on your turn.
The maximum CR of any beast you conjure with this feature
increases to 1 at 11th level and 2 at 17th level.
Potent Spellcasting
Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the
damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.
Aura of Artistry
Starting at 17th level, certain spells you cast will create auras of
divine magic. Whenever you cast an enchantment or illusion
spell, you can cause magical energy to radiate from you in an aura
with a 10-foot radius. For 1 minute or until you use this feature
again, the aura moves with you, centered on you. The effects of
the aura depend on the spell’s school of magic:
- Enchantment. The aura is filled with inspiring music. A friendly creature that starts its turn within the aura gains 2d6 temporary hit points that last until it leaves the aura.
- Illusion. The aura is filled with illusory images and sounds that distract opponents. Hostile creatures within the aura have disadvantage on attack rolls.
Dragon Domain
The dragon gods of old are primal deities that espouse great
and terrifying presence and power to their devotees. They
value and regard power as the absolute measure of the
worth of a life, favoring servants who garner more
influence and wealth for their glory. The visages of these
gods are typically engraved upon the armor or weapons of
their clerics, and other artifacts that these clerics value.
Dragon priests typically guard the treasure hoards, arcane
artifacts, or holy places of the dragon gods, but they also
guide their cults as spiritual leaders and lead their armies as
ferocious warlords.

Bonus Cantrip
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you
gain the dragon claws cantrip if you don’t
already know it. This cantrip counts as a cleric
spell for you and doesn’t count against your
number of cantrips known.
Dragon Staff
At 1st level, as a bonus action, you can expend a
spell slot to charge a quarterstaff you are holding with
draconic energy. While you are holding a charged
quarterstaff, you can use an action and expend its charge to
evoke the destructive energy of the dragon gods you
worship, producing raw elemental power in a 30-foot line
that is 5 feet wide, or a 15-foot cone. Creatures within the
area of effect must make a Dexterity saving throw against
your cleric spell save DC.
On a failed save, a creature takes 3d6 damage for a 1st-
level slot, plus 1d6 damage for each spell level higher than
1st, or half as much on a successful save. The damage type
is your choice of acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison
damage. A charged quarterstaff loses its stored spell slot
and becomes uncharged when you take a short or long rest.
Channel Divinity: Scales of the Drake
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to
take up the mantle of the great dragons. You present your
holy symbol as a bonus action, and your skin becomes
covered in dragon scales, granting you the following
benefits for 1 minute:

- You have advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks.
Draconic Regeneration

level or higher to deal acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison
damage, you can use a bonus action to regain hit points
equal to 2 + the spell’s level.
Potent Spellcasting
Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the
damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.
Channel Divinity: Wyrm Song
Starting at 17th level, you can use your action to open a
portal and call forth a dragon. The dragon’s challenge
rating must be 10 or lower. The dragon is friendly to you
and your allies, and will aid you in combat.
This dragon obeys any commands you issue it (no action
required by you), and if you do not issue any commands, it
will defend you and itself but take no other actions. The
dragon rolls initiative and acts on its own turn during
combat. The dragon remains under your control as long as
you maintain concentration (as if you were concentrating
on a spell) for up to 1 hour, or until it drops to 0 hit points.
If you lose your concentration, you must make a Charisma
saving throw (DC equals 8 + the dragon’s proficiency
bonus + the dragon’s Charisma modifier.) On a failed save,
you lose control of your draconic ally, and it acts as the
GM determines. When 1 hour has passed, the dragon is
teleported back to the location you summoned it from.
Once you have used this Channel Divinity you can’t use
it again until you finish a long rest.
Coffee Domain
Herbalists have long brewed teas and other remedies
to ease the body and sharpen the mind, but those time-
tested staples have steep competition for being the
preferred drink of choice. Coffee is a beverage with
powerful alchemical effects: it staves off sleep, boosts
concentration, and imparts a feeling of wakefulness and
inspiration. Everyone from commoners to archmagi has
come to enjoy the bitter warmth of this brew, so it’s no
small wonder that demigods, and eventually full-on godly
powers, have adopted coffee as a domain.
Cleric Level | Spells |
1 |
expeditious retreat, false life |
3 |
blur, enhance ability |
5 |
fly, haste |
7 |
divination, freedom of movement |
9 |
awaken, telekinesis |
Twitch Casting
As the magic of coffee strums down your nerves, you find
you can perform actions far quicker than normal. Starting
when you choose this domain at 1st level, when you cast
a spell that has a casting time of 1 action, you can change
the casting time to 1 bonus action for this casting. Once
you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish
a long rest.
Sleepless
Though the Gods of Coffee offer focus and productivity
with one hand, they steal away sleep with the other.
Beginning at 1st level, you require one less hour of sleep
than a normal member of your race and magic can’t put
you to sleep.
Channel Divinity: Java
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity
as an action to invigorate the body and mind of a willing
creature you touch. The target instantly awakens, if
asleep. For the next minute, the target ignores all levels of
exhaustion, its speed increases by 10 feet, it has advantage
on Intelligence and Dexterity saving throws, and it can
take an additional action its turn. This action can only
be used to take the Attack (one weapon attack only) or
Disengage action.
When the effect ends, the target can’t move or take
actions until after its next turn, as a wave of lethargy
sweeps over it. Only one creature can be under the effects
of this Channel Divinity at a time and no creature can
benefit from the effects of this ability and the spell haste
at once.
Honed Focus
By 6th level, the near constant infusion of caffeine has
sharpened your memory and focus. Whenever you fail a
Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on
a spell, you can use your reaction to reattempt the save,
maintaining your concentration on a success.
Divine Strike
At 8th level, 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 fire damage to the target. When you
reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
Café Nation
Beginning at 17th level, you can share the power of
caffeination to your allies. When you cast the spell haste,
you can choose a number of targets within range equal
to your Wisdom modifier, each of which gains the effect
of the spell. If any of these targets are asleep, they are
instantly awoken. The spell’s effects last only until the
beginning of your next turn, after which the spell ends,
and no target suffers the “wave of lethargy” effect. If you
cast the spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the
duration extends to 1d4 rounds.
BLACK POWDER DOMAIN
The Black Powder domain focuses on the explosive,
unpredictable, and destructive capacity of black
powder. Deities with a vested interest in alchemy
or deities who revel in destruction can claim
influence over this domain. Deities of destruction
need not be evil; such gods may represent natural
chaos and destruction, reveling just as much in the
unpredictable destructive capacity of black powder
as in the chaotic destruction wrought by a volcanic
eruption. In areas where warfare involves alchemical
weapons or firearms, gods of war might also claim
influence over this domain.
Cleric Level | Spells |
1 |
fog cloud, thunderwave |
3 |
heat metal, shatter |
5 |
fireball, stinking cloud |
7 |
confusion, wall of fire |
9 |
cloudkill, deadly salvo |
Bonus Proficiencies
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain
proficiency with alchemist’s supplies or gunsmith’s
tools (your choice). You also gain proficiency with all
simple and martial firearms and bombs. You can also add your dexterity modifier to the damage rolls.
Gunpowder Blessing
Also at 1st level, you can use an action to touch a
weapon held by a willing creature. The weapon gains
the gunpowder weapon property. This blessing lasts
for 1 minute or until you use this feature again.
Channel Divinity: Imbue/Remove Explosivity
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel
Divinity to harness the power of black powder,
infusing it into the weapons of allies to make them
more deadly, or revoke your god’s blessing, lessening
the effects of enemy firearms.
As an action, you present your holy symbol and
evoke explosive energy that instills your Gunpowder
Blessing on one weapon
possessed by each creature of
your choice within 30 feet of
you for 1 minute. Alternatively, you can curse a number of weapons
with the gunpowder weapon property equal to your
proficiency bonus within 30 feet of you for 1 minute.
Each affected weapon loses the ability to experience a
burst for the duration. A remove curse spell cast on the
weapon restores its full function.
Explosive Infusion
Beginning at 6th level, you can imbue an object you
are holding or carrying with explosive power. The
object must be nonmagical and small enough to fit
in one hand, such as a glass vial or a ball bearing. As a
bonus action, you can expend a 1st-level spell slot to
fill the item with explosive power for 1 minute. Before
the duration ends, you can use an action to throw
the object at a point you can see up to 20 feet away,
where it explodes on impact. Each creature within
5 feet of that point must make a Dexterity saving
throw against your spell save DC, taking 2d6 fire
damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on
a successful one. This damage can experience bursts,
as described in the gunpowder weapon property, but
this effect counts as a single effect for the purposes of
determining how many times the damage can burst,
regardless of the number of targets affected.
If you expend a spell slot of 2nd level or higher,
the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above
1st. If you expend a use of your Channel Divinity as
part of the action to throw the object, each creature
within 20 feet of the point of impact must make the
saving throw. If you don’t throw the object before the
duration ends, the magic fades, and the item becomes
a normal object once again.
Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon
strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns
when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you
can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 fire damage
to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra
damage increases to 2d8.
Greater Explosive Infusion
Starting at 17th level, you can imbue explosive power
into larger objects with your Explosive Infusion.
The target must be an object that isn’t being worn
or carried at the time you imbue it, must be no
larger than can fit in a single 5-foot cube, and must
be nonmagical. Your infusion fills the object with
explosive power for 10 minutes. Before the duration
ends, you can detonate the object as an action,
provided you are within 100 feet of it. Alternatively,
you can detonate the object as a reaction to a specific
event (a particular creature or certain number of
creatures move within 20 feet of the object, for
example), or you can set a specific time for the
object to detonate, up to 10 minutes from the time
at which you infused the object. If you set the object
to detonate at a specific time, you don’t need to be
within 100 feet of the object for it to detonate.
When the object detonates, each creature within
20 feet of the object must make the saving throw. If
you expend a use of your Channel Divinity when you
first imbue the object, each creature in the area when
it detonates has disadvantage on the saving throw. At
any point before the object detonates, you can touch
it as an action to disperse the energy and cause it to
become a normal object once again, regaining the
spell slot you expended to infuse the object.
HUNT DOMAIN
Many terrible creatures prey on the villages, towns,
and inns that dot the forests of Midgard. When such
creatures become particularly aggressive or can’t be
dissuaded by local druids, the settlements often call
on servants of gods of the hunt to solve the problem.
Deities devoted to hunting value champions who
aid skillful hunters or who lead hunts themselves.
Similarly, deities focused on protecting outlier
settlements or who promote strengthening small
communities also value such clerics. While these
clerics might not have the utmost capability for
tracking and killing prey, their gods grant them
blessings to ensure successful hunts. These clerics
might use their abilities to ensure their friends and
communities have sufficient food to survive difficult
times, or they might enjoy the sport of pursuing and
slaying intelligent prey.
Cleric Level | Spells |
1 |
bloodhound, illuminate spoor |
3 |
instant snare, mark prey |
5 |
going in circles, tracer |
7 |
heart-seeking arrow, hunting stand |
9 |
harrying hounds, maim |
Blessing of the Hunter
At 1st level, you gain proficiency in Survival. You can
use your action to touch a willing creature other than
yourself to give it advantage on Wisdom (Survival)
checks. This blessing lasts for 1 hour or until you use
this feature again.
Bonus Proficiency
At 1st level, you gain proficiency with martial
weapons.
Channel Divinity: Heart Strike
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel
Divinity to inflict grievous wounds. When you hit
a creature with a weapon attack, you can use your
Channel Divinity to add +5 to the attack’s damage. If
you score a critical hit with the attack, add +10 to the
attack’s damage instead.
Pack Hunter
Starting at 6th level, when an ally within 30 feet of
you makes a weapon attack roll against a creature you
attacked within this round, you can use your reaction
to grant that ally advantage on the attack roll.
Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon
strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns
when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can
cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 damage of the
same type dealt by the weapon to the target. When you
reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
Deadly Stalker
At 17th level, you can use an action to describe or
name a creature that is familiar to you or that you can
see within 120 feet. For 24 hours or until the target
is dead, whichever occurs first, you have advantage
on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your target and
Wisdom (Perception) checks to detect your target. In
addition, you have advantage on weapon attack rolls
against the target. You can’t use this feature again
until you finish a short or long rest.
Destruction Domain
Some gods revel only in the crushing of walls and the
burning of cities. These gods of destruction, critical
counterparts to the gods of creation and mercy, need
not be evil, but have a strong tendency toward chaos
and enforcing the eternal cycle of death and rebirth.
Clerics who follow such deities often have a deep
personal connection with their chosen god. In some
cases, they were spared from destruction in order to
wreak it upon the world; in others, they have pleaded
with the god for priesthood to destroy a single foe;
others still simply worship their god out of reverent
fear.
Cleric Level | Spells |
1 |
burning hands, thunderwave |
3 |
scorching ray, shatter |
5 |
fireball, protection from energy |
7 |
blight, wall of fire |
9 |
cloudkill, cone of cold |
DEVASTATION INITIATE
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain
two cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell
list. These cantrips count as cleric spells for you and
do not count against the number of cantrips you can
learn.
CHANNEL DIVINITY: CALAMITY
Starting at 2nd level, you can funnel the entropic
energies of the universe into your spells as a bonus
action. For the next minute, whenever you deal
damage with a cleric spell, it is empowered with
ruinous potential. If you roll the highest number
possible on any of the spell’s damage dice, you can
roll that die again and add its damage to the total,
rolling again if this number is also the highest, and
so on. You can roll a total number of damage dice for
this spell equal to twice the number of damage dice
you initially rolled.
SHOCKWAVE
By 6th level, your devastating magic leaves only ruins
behind. Once on each of your turns, when you cast
a 1st level or higher cleric spell that deals fire, force,
lightning, radiant, or thunder damage, you can emit
a shockwave that crumbles the environment around
one creature that takes damage from the spell. The
shockwave is a 5-foot-radius sphere centered on
the creature that only damages objects that aren’t
being worn or carried. Each object in the area takes
damage equal to twice the damage dealt to the
creature, ignoring the object’s damage threshold
POTENT SPELLCASTING
Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier
to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip
HAVOC SPELL
Starting at 17th level, when you deal damage to a
creature with a cleric spell, you can expend a spell
slot as a bonus action to deal bonus radiant damage
to one creature that took damage from the spell. The
extra damage is 2d6 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d6
for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of
5d6.
Pestilence Domain
You worship gods who favor corruption and plague,
the Domain of Pestilence, for, though you are
ravaged by disease, it doesn’t harm you. Like a virus,
you move through the population, spreading your
Festering Faith to all who will listen. Unlike a virus,
there is no immune system from the Festering Faith,
only complete acceptance.
Cleric Level | Spells |
1 |
bane, detect poison and disease |
3 |
blindness/deafness, protection from poison |
5 |
bestow curse, remove curse |
7 |
blight, confusion |
9 |
contagion, insect plague |
CARRIER
Starting at 1st level, you are immune to disease and
being poisoned. Additionally, choose or randomly
determine a lingering symptom that afflicts you:
d8 | Symptom |
1 |
A loud, sickening cough constantly
accompanies you. |
2 |
One of your limbs is black and withered,
but completely functional. |
3 |
One of your limbs is black and withered,
but completely functional. |
4 |
Intense shivers come at you in waves,
alternating between mild trembles and
great shudders. |
5 |
A number of growths and tumors lump
your body and hunch your back. |
6 |
Your skin is riddled with boils and sores. |
7 |
Your body is horrifically gaunt. |
8 |
Constantly fevered, your skin is hot and
covered in sweat. |
BONUS PROFICIENCY
At 1st level, you have proficiency with heavy armor.
TUMOR
Also at 1st level, your body sequesters its toxins in a
bulbous protrusion. When a creature within 5 feet
hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction
to try to poison the creature with the tumor. The
creature must make a Constitution saving throw or
be poisoned for 1 minute. The creature can reattempt
this saving throw at the end of each of its turns,
ending the effect on a success.
After using this ability, you must finish a short
or long rest before using it again
CHANNEL DIVINITY: INFECTION
At 2nd level, your divinity carries disease. You can
use your action to touch a creature within your
reach, which must make a Constitution saving
throw, suffering one of the following diseases of your
choice for 1 minute on a failed save. Since this ability
induces a natural disease in its target, any effect that
removes a disease or otherwise ameliorates a disease’s
effects applies to it
- Bloodmore. The creature bleeds freely. Whenever the creature takes bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, it loses an additional 1d6 hit points.
- Joint Lock. The creature’s legs stiffen and its movement slows. The creature can move a maximum of 15 feet or half its speed, whichever is lower, on its turn.
- Ruby-Eye. The creature can see normally out to 5 feet, but is blind beyond this radius
FESTER
Starting at 6th level, your infectious power festers
and grows. You gain the following special abilities:
- Whenever you deal necrotic or radiant damage, you can change the damage type to poison.
- You ignore damage resistance to poison damage.
- Your cleric spells and abilities ignore immunity to the poisoned condition and being diseased. A creature that is immune to being poisoned or diseased makes its saving throws against your effect with advantage.
DIVINE STRIKE
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your
weapon strikes with toxicity. 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 poison
damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the
extra damage increases to 2d8
VIRAL INFECTION
At 17th level, when you use Infection, the target
also has disadvantage on ability checks and saving
throws using one ability score of your choice while it
is diseased.
Additionally, whenever a target of Infection is
within 5 feet of another creature, you can use your
reaction to cause the infection to spread to it as well.
The creature must make a Constitution saving throw
or be infected by the same disease as the target for 1
minute.
Wealth Domain
Being one of the most popular pursuits of
humanoids the world over, it should not come as a
surprise that the accumulation of material wealth is
governed by its own deities. Sitting at the confluence
of industry and fertility, gods of wealth are assiduous
in demanding tribute, but pay back their most loyal
followers generously, showering them with gold.
Cleric Level | Spells |
1 |
identify, unseen servant |
3 |
arcane lock, locate object |
5 |
glyph of warding, tongues |
7 |
fabricate, secret chest |
9 |
creation, geas |
APPRAISAL
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you are
blessed with insights into the price of everything. As
an action, you can accurately determine the market
price of any object, as well as what it would be worth
second-hand.
Additionally, you can use your Wisdom instead
of Charisma for any Charisma check you make to
buy, sell, or haggle.
LEVERAGE
Also at 1st level, when you cast a spell that requires
material components with a specific cost, you require
materials of only half of that value to cast the spell.
CHANNEL DIVINITY: RICHES
Starting at 2nd level, when you reduce a hostile
creature to 0 hit points, you can use your Channel
Divinity to conjure an explosion of coins around the
creature. The total number of gold pieces created
is equal to the monster’s XP value divided by 10,
rounded down.
You can use this Channel Divinity option once,
and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long
rest
BRIBE
When you reach 6th level, you can use your divine
understanding to determine how to bribe almost
any creature. As an action, you can choose a hostile
creature you can see to make a Charisma saving
throw against your spell save DC. If the creature
fails its save, you can bribe it with rare or luxurious
goods, or simply a bag of gold, which teleports into
the creature’s possession. The bribe costs an amount
in gp equal to half the creature’s XP value and, once
completed, that creature can’t be hostile towards you
or your allies for 24 hours. The effect ends early if the
creature takes damage from you or your allies. You
can’t bribe any creature with an Intelligence of 3 or
lower, or any creature the GM deems inappropriate.
POTENT SPELLCASTING
At 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the
damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.
TYCOON
By 17th level, your deity showers you with vast
riches. Whenever you would gain money, be it
through selling goods and services, receiving gifts,
conducting downtime activities, picking pockets, or
simply finding treasure in a dungeon, the amount of
money you gain is doubled.
Travel Domain
The realm of vagabonds, merchants, and adventurers,
the gods of the travel domain are popular among any
who frequent the roads or sail the seas. Evangelicals
and the traveling priests of inhospitable regions also
tend to represent the gods of travel.
Cleric Level | Spells |
1 |
feather fall, longstrider |
3 |
find steed, misty step |
5 |
fly, haste |
7 |
dimension door, freedom of movement |
9 |
passwall, teleportation circle |
WELL-TRAVELED
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain
proficiency with four finesse or ranged weapons of
your choice. Additionally, you learn two languages of
your choice.
JAUNT
From 1st level, your god hastens your feet and puts
the wind at your back. You can use your bonus action
to move 10 feet without provoking opportunity
attacks.
You can use this feature a number of times equal
to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You
regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
CHANNEL DIVINITY: DIVINE TRANSPOSITION
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel
Divinity to relocate your allies. As an action, choose
up to three willing Small or Medium creatures
(which can include yourself). Each of these creatures
teleports into each other’s spaces, swapping places as
you choose.
OVERLAND EXPEDITION
By 6th level, while traveling, you and up to 10
creatures traveling with you move with supernatural
swiftness. You always travel at a fast pace and ignore
delays caused by rough terrain, weather, and other
nonmagical obstacles. You similarly ignore hazards
caused by traveling on other planes of existence.
Furthermore, you can travel for 12 hours, instead of
8, before making Constitution saving throws for a
forced march.
Additionally, you are unaffected by difficult
terrain
DIVINE STRIKE
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your
weapon strikes with extra kinetic energy. Once on
each of your turns when you hit a creature with a
weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an
extra 1d8 force damage to the target. When you
reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
GODSPEED
Starting at 17th level, your walking speed doubles.
If you make an attack while 30 feet or further away
from where you began your turn, the extra damage
of your Divine Strike increases to 4d8.
Ancestral Domain
All Valenar warriors are guided by their ancestors, the
shades of elven heroes long since dead. The Valenar
honor these ancestors by emulating their deeds and
personas, bringing a spark of their might into the world
of the living in the process. During the Last War, some
opponents of Valenar war-bands swore they rode in the
company of ghosts—elven shades were seen guiding
their hands and turning aside blows.
After the war, Ancestral clerics serve Valenar’s
interests at home and abroad as soldiers, spies, and
diplomats. Others have taken to adventuring, to better
hone their connection to the deeds of the past. In other
settings, Ancestral domain clerics may be found in any
culture with a particularly strong connection to their
past. They could serve clans, using their founder’s
words and deeds to guide their descendents in dark
times.

Power of the Ancestors
1st-level Ancestral Domain feature
Your cleric training involves forging a bond with
the spirit of an ancient elven hero. Choose The
Sage, The Strategist, or The Warrior. This hero’s
spirit inspires your actions, granting you certain
benefits.
You can use the chosen feature a number of
times equal to your proficiency bonus, and
you regain all expended uses when you
finish a long rest.
- The Sage. Your ancestral spirit was a master of the magical arts. When you cast a cleric spell, you can choose a creature you can see within 30 feet of you. Magical energy from your spell arcs to the creature, dealing force damage equal to half your cleric level
- The Strategist. Your ancestral spirit was a master of war tactics. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can forgo one of your attacks to direct a friendly creature within 30 feet of you who can see or hear you. That creature can immediately use its reaction to make one weapon attack.
- The Warrior. Your ancestral spirit was a master of single combat. When you make a weapon attack against a creature as part of the Attack action on your turn, you can make one extra weapon attack against the same creature.
Channel Divinity: Cloak of the Ancestor
2nd-level Ancestral Domain feature
You can use your Channel Divinity to drape yourself in
your ancestor’s spiritual essence. You take on aspects
of heroes long dead, gaining the following benefits for 1
minute.
- Moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement
- At the start of each of your turns you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to your proficiency bonus
- Your weapon attacks become partially incorporeal, ignoring AC bonuses from cover and shields.

17th-level Ancestral Domain feature
You have reached the highest expression of your
ancestor and their ideals. You gain one of the following
features based on the ancestor you chose for your
Power of the Ancestors feature.
- The Sage Personified. When you use your Power of the Ancestors feature, you can target up to two creatures instead of one. A creature damaged in this way has their speed halved until the end of their next turn.
- The Strategist Personified. When you use your Power of the Ancestors feature, any number of allies within 30 feet of you can immediately use their reaction to move up to their speed or take the Dodge, Hide, or Use an Object action. Additionally, allies you can see within 30 feet of you do not provoke attacks of opportunity while they can see you.
- The Warrior Personified. When you use your Power of the Ancestors feature to make a weapon attack, you can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the attack and damage rolls. If the attack hits, you can force the creature to make a Wisdom saving throw against your cleric spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature has disadvantage on attack rolls made against any creatures other than you. This effect lasts until it is reduced to 0 hit points or you attack a different creature. If it succeeds, it is immune to this effect for 24 hours.
Love Domain
Gods of love represent the concept in all its varied
forms; altruism, family, fertility, passion, and romance.
Followers of these gods serve as
matchmakers and midwives for their communities.
Some are called to serve as diplomats or peacekeepers,
believing that love really can conquer all. It is rare for
the clergy of gods of love to take vows of celibacy as part
of their initiation.
Cleric Level | Spells |
1 |
charm person, cure wounds |
3 |
calm emotions, enthrall |
5 |
sending, tongues |
7 |

9 |
dream, Rary’s telepathic bond |
Blessings of Love
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you become
proficient in your choice of two of the following skills:
Insight, Performance, or Persuasion. Your proficiency
bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that
uses either of those skills.
In addition, you learn the friends cantrip if you don’t
already know it. It counts as a cleric spell for you.
Channel Divinity: Amorous Armor
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity
to exude an aura of goodwill and love.
As an action, you project respect and admiration
for 1 minute. All creatures within 30 feet of you who
can see and hear you have disadvantage on attack rolls
against you. A creature is not subject to this effect if it is
immune to being charmed. This effect ends early on a
creature if you make an attack against it, deal it damage,
or force it to make an ability check or saving throw.
Channel Divinity:Change of Heart
Starting at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity
to woo others even when it seems your charms are
failing. It can be used in two circumstances.
When a creature succeeds on a saving throw against
a charm effect caused by you, you can use your reaction
to force the creature to reroll the saving throw and use
the second result.
Alternatively, when you make a Charisma ability
check, you can use your reaction to reroll the ability
check. You can wait until after the DM declares whether
the original result was a success or not and you must
use the second result, even if it is lower.
Potent Spellcasting
Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to
the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.
Sermon of Love
At 17th level, you can channel pure passion when you
speak. As an action, you can command each creature
within 60 feet who can hear you and shares any
language with you to treat others kindly. When you do,
each target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw
or be charmed by you and all other creatures targeted
by this ability. This charmed effect lasts for 8 hours or
until the creature takes damage from you or any of
your allies.
VERMIN DOMAIN
You exemplify the cunning, stealth, and invasiveness
of vermin (rodents, scorpions, spiders, ants, and
other insects). As your dedication to this domain
grows in strength, you realize a simple truth: vermin
are everywhere, and you are legion.
Cleric Level | Spells |
1 |
detect poison and disease, speak with animals (vermin only) |
3 |
spider climb, web |
5 |
conjure animals (vermin only), fear |
7 |
dominate beast (vermin only), giant insect |
9 |
contagion, insect plague |
The Unseen
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain
proficiency with shortswords and hand crossbows.
You also gain proficiency in Stealth and Survival. You
can communicate simple ideas telepathically with
vermin, such as mice, spiders, and ants, within 100
feet of you. A vermin’s responses, if any, are limited
by its intelligence and typically convey the creature’s
current or most recent state, such as “hungry” or “in
danger.”
Channel Divinity: Swarm Step
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel
Divinity to evade attackers. As a bonus action, or
as reaction when you are attacked, you transform
into a swarm of vermin and move up to 30 feet
to an unoccupied space that you can see. This
movement doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks.
When you arrive at your destination, you revert
to your normal form.
Legion of Bites
At 6th level, you can send hundreds of spectral
vermin to assail an enemy and aid your allies. As
an action, choose a creature you can see within
30 feet of you. That creature must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw against your spell
save DC or be covered in spectral vermin for 1
minute. Each time one of your allies hits the
target with a weapon attack, the target takes an
extra 1d4 poison damage. A creature that is immune
to disease is immune to this feature.
You can use this feature a number of times equal
to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You
regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your
weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of
your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon
attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8
poison damage to the target. When you reach 14th
level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
Verminform Blessing
At 17th level, you become a natural lycanthrope.
You use the statistics of a wererat, though your form
can take on insectoid aspects, such as mandibles,
compound eyes, or antennae, instead of rat aspects;
whichever aspects are most appropriate for your
deity. Your alignment doesn’t change as a result of
this lycanthropy, and you can’t spread the disease of
lycanthropy.
WIND DOMAIN
You have dedicated yourself to the service of the
primordial winds. In their service, you are the gentle
zephyr brushing away adversity or the vengeful storm
scouring the stones from the mountainside.
Cleric Level | Spell Name |
1 |
feather fall, thunderwave |
3 |
gust of wind, misty step |
5 |
fly, wind wall |
7 |
conjure minor elementals (air only), freedom of movement |
9 |
cloudkill, conjure elemental (air only) |
Wind’s Chosen
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you learn
the mage hand cantrip and gain proficiency in the
Nature skill. When you cast mage hand, you can make
the hand invisible, and you can control the hand as a
bonus action.
Channel Divinity: Grasp Not the Wind
At 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to
end the grappled condition on yourself and gain a
flying speed equal to your walking speed until the end
of your turn. You don’t provoke opportunity attacks
while flying in this way.
Stormshield
At 6th level, when you take lightning or thunder
damage, you can use your reaction to gain resistance
to lightning and thunder damage, including against
the triggering attack, until the start of your next turn.
You can use this feature a number of times equal
to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You
regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Divine Strike
At 8th level, you infuse your weapon strikes with
divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you
hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause
the attack to deal an extra 1d8 thunder damage to the
target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage
increases to 2d8.
Dire Tempest
At 17th level, you can create a 20-foot-radius tornado
of swirling wind and debris at a point you can see
within 120 feet. The storm lasts until the start of
your next turn. All Huge or smaller creatures within
the area must make a Strength saving throw against
your spell save DC. On a failure, a creature takes 8d6
bludgeoning damage and is thrown 1d4 × 10 feet into
the air. On a success, a creature takes half the damage
and isn’t thrown into the air. Creatures thrown into
the air take falling damage as normal and land prone.
In addition, each creature that starts its turn within
15 feet of the tornado must succeed on a Strength
saving throw against your spell save DC or be dragged
into the tornado’s area. A creature that enters the
tornado’s area is thrown 1d4 × 10 feet into the air,
taking falling damage as normal and landing prone.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again
until you finish a long rest.
