Repose Domain

You see death not as something to be feared, but as a final rest and reward for a life well spent. The taint of undeath is a mockery of what you hold dear.

Granted Powers

Gentle Rest (Sp): Your touch can fill a creature with lethargy, causing a living creature to become Staggered for 1 round as a melee Touch Attack. If you touch a Staggered living creature, that creature falls asleep for 1 round instead. Undead creatures touched are Staggered for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Ward Against Death (Su): At 8th level, you can emit a 30-foot aura that wards against death for a number of rounds per day equal to your Cleric level. Living creatures in this area are immune to all death effects, Energy Drain, and effects that cause negative levels. This ward does not remove negative levels that a creature has already gained, but the negative levels have no effect while the creature is inside the warded area. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.

Domain Spells

1st—Deathwatch, 2nd—Gentle Repose, 3rd—Speak with Dead, 4th—Death Ward, 5th—Slay Living, 6th—Undeath to Death, 7th—Destruction, 8th—Waves of Exhaustion, 9th—Wail of the Banshee.

Variant Domain Powers

Exorcism of Undeath (Sp): Once per day as a Full-Round Action, you can try to end any possession spells or effects, or effects that directly exercise mental control over a creature, as long as the effect was caused by an Undead creature. You must touch the affected creature (this requires a melee Touch Attack if the target is neither willing nor Helpless) and use a vial of holy water as a material component that is consumed as part of using this ability. The target must immediately attempt a new Will Save against the original save DC of the controlling effect. If the save is successful, the possession effect immediately ends, as if the target had succeeded at its original saving throw. If the possessing force is a Ghost or similar Undead, it manifests adjacent to the target and is Staggered for 1 round. This replaces the ward against death domain power of the Repose domain.

Subdomains

Subdomains are more focused than domains, replacing some of the domain's spells and powers with new ones. Subdomains may be chosen in place of a domain if the character is eligible for it.
