Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Cleric.Divine Domain
1st-Level Cleric Feature 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 can cast it spontaneously. This means you do not need to prepare the spell, but you will lost whatever spell was prepared to that slot before. If you have a domain spell that doesn’t appear on the cleric spell list, the spell is nonetheless a cleric spell for you. Divine Domains| Divine Domain | Description |

Feat
1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 19th, 20th-Level Cleric Feature You gain one feat of your choiceSpellcasting
1st-Level Cleric Feature As a conduit for the gods, 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. To cast a cleric cantrip, you require a Wisdom score of 10 or higher.Spell Slots
The Cleric table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your divine 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 divine spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the common spells and any rare spells you know on the cleric spell list. When you do so, choose a number of divine spells equal to the number of spell slots you have available. For example, if you are a 3rd-level cleric, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. You can prepare six spells, of which four must be 1st-level and two must be 2nd-level. Casting the spell removes it from your list of prepared spells, but you can prepare a spell multiple times. 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.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use a holy or unholy symbol of the deity you worship as a spellcasting focus for your cleric spells.Channel Divinity
2nd-Level Cleric Feature You gain the ability to channel divine energy directly from your energy, using that energy to fuel magical effects. You start with three such effects: Turn Undead or Rebuke Undead, depending on the alignment of both you and your deity, harness divine power, 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 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. If both you and your deity are good-aligned, you gain the Turn Undead effect of Channel Divinity. If both your and your deity are evil-aligned, you gain the Rebuke Undead effect of Channel Divinity. If you are neither good nor evil, you gain Turn Undead if your deity is good-aligned and Rebuke Undead if your deity is evil-aligned. If neither you nor your deity are good nor evil-aligned, you choose which effect you gain at 1st level. This cannot be changed while you follow that deity unless you or your deity become good- or evil-aligned.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.Channel Divinity: Rebuke Undead
As an action, you present your unholy symbol and speak a prayer commanding 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 rebuked for 1 minute or until it takes any damage from you or your companions. A creature whose CR is higher than your cleric level is immune to this effect. A rebuked creature must spend its turns following your direct orders, which you can give as a bonus action to any number of rebuked undead under your control. The same command must be given to each. An undead with an Intelligence score of 6 or higher ends this effect immediately if it is issued a suicidal command.Channel Divinity: Harness Divine Power
As a bonus action, you present your holy or unholy symbol and utter a prayer to draw in the divine energy of your god, regaining an expended divine spell slot. This spell slot can be of a level no higher than half your proficiency bonus, but never higher than your Wisdom modifier. This spell slot can only be used for spells you can cast spontaneously, such as those granted by your divine domain.Energy Manipulation
5th-Level Cleric Feature You become more able to control the flow of positive and negative energy, exerting far more power at once. 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. Additionally, when an undead creature fails its saving throw against your Rebuke Undead feature, the creature gains resistance to positive energy damage and radiant damage equal to a value as shown in the Cleric table above.Divine Intervention
10th-Level Cleric Feature 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 aciton. Describe the assistance you seek, and roll percentile dice (1d100). 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 divine spell or any domain, oath, or circle 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.This is a stub
