With their tools in hand, Blacksmiths are able to not only make and create, but they can improve what has already been made.

Next, you must answer why they took up adventuring? Are they making a personal delivery, which seems will never make it to its destination? Are they searching for a legendary metal? Are they trying to see the world, to get a grander scope of what can be accomplished in their craft?

Spellcasting As a conduit for divine power, you can cast cleric spells. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the cleric spell list.

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.

Preparing and Casting Spells 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 full rest. Regaining half of your total on 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. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest.
Spellcasting Ability Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your cleric spells. The power of your spells comes from your devotion to Gond. 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 forge hammer or any other item that you have crafted as a spellcasting focus for your cleric spells.

Fighting Style At 2nd level, you adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options.
Defense While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
Dueling When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
Great Weapon Fighting When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.
Protection When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.
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. 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.
Turn Undead Starting at 2nd level, 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.
Knowledge of the Ages Starting at second level, as an action you can use channel divinity to give yourself proficiency in one skill or tool, for ten minutes.
Blacksmith Expertise At level 2, you begin to develop a greater understanding of the weapons and armor around you. During a long rest, you carefully analyze the design of an item you possess. You develop an understanding of it, allowing you to use it with proficiency. This counts as a temporary proficiency and ends upon your next long rest, unless you spend that long rest to restudy the item. By studying the design yourself, you also gain the understanding needed to forge the item and create blueprints that you can hand to others or guide them in the creation process. This grants advantage to the craft for someone proficient in smith's tools, and negates disadvantage for someone lacking proficiency in smith's tools. Forging the item grants you permanent proficiency with that forged item, even if you do not have proficiency normally. Due to your Blacksmithing abilities, you then gain proficiency in the forging process, memorizing the blueprint and can reforge the item from memory, provided you take a long rest prior, to mock up the blueprints. Note: That this does not remove disadvantage due to size or strength requirements of weapons or armor.
Arcane Forge At Level 2, Gond has blessed you for your servitude allowing you to conjure an arcane forge by using a single mana point (or level one spell slot). By imbuing their metalworks with magical power. The forge remains active for 12 hours.

Blacksmith Reforging At level 3, your knowledge of materials for weapons, armors, and ammunition improve. Designs have begun to reach an impressive point, allowing you to improve items by reforging them. During a long rest, you can now reforge weapons and ammunition to grant +1 to attack and damage rolls, and armor a +1 to AC. The quality of the improvement increases with level. (See Advanced Improvements) DC crafting roll of 15 + the improvement level. During this roll you may add you Wisdom Modifier and your Proficiency Bonus to the roll. If you fail the DC the materials are rendered unusable. You may reforge an amount of ammunition equal to your Blacksmith Level, but all must be of the same type of Improvement. Reforging is a strenuous process that strains the materials involved, when reforging an item, upon rolling a 1 on your crafting roll, the item is destroyed.
Advanced Improvements Starting at 3rd level Your skills for improving equipment have gotten better. When you forge / reforge an item the weapon's attack bonus and damage increase by +1, or the armor's AC by +1. This bonus scales to +2 and +3 at 9th and 17th levels, respectively. This effect cannot stack with itself.
Basic Enchantments Starting at 3rd level, you learn to enchant your reforged creations with elemental powers. When you are reforging melee/ranged weapons or a spell casting focus, during your long rest you can spend time at your forge to add damage equal to your proficiency bonus from your choice of: acid, frost, fire, lightning, poison, or thunder. To do so requires a colored gem(s) equal to at least 100gp. Gem Colors: Light Green - Acid Blue - Frost Red - Fire Gold - Lightning Dark Green - Poison Yellow - Thunder
Additionally, when forging armor or shields, you may add damage negation. (This is the amount of damage it reduces) to any one of the previously listed damage types scaling with your proficiency bonus, to the Armor You must also have the respective gem(s) of at least 100gp in value to add this enchantment. These effects stack a number of times equal to your ½ your proficiency bonus rounded up.

Ability Score Increase 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 usual, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
