Spellcasting:

Spellcasting

As a conduit for divine power, you can cast Divine 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, at 5th and 10th Levels.

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 Divine 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 use a holy symbol as a spellcasting focus for your cleric spells instead of a wand or staff

Channel Divinity (x1):

At 1st level, you gain the ability to channel divine energy directly from your Divine, using that energy to fuel magical effects. You start with a single effect, listed below. When you use your Channel Divinity and have multiple options, 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 Saves, the DC of which is your Spell Save DC. Beginning at 5th level, you can use your Channel Divinity twice between Rests, and at 9th level you can utilize it thrice. When you select at Subclass you gain an additional way to use this feature

Channel Divinity: Burn Undead - As an Action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer striking out divine fire to all Undead within 20m of you. Each Undead in that range must make a Charisma Saving Throw, taking 2d10 Radiant Damage on a Failure or half as much on a Success. This Damage increases by 1d10 at 5th, 8th, and 11th Levels. In addition, all Creatures that Fail the Saving Throw are Frightened of you for 1 Minute or until they take Damage from you or an ally

Harness Divine Energy:

Once per Long Rest you can use your Divine’s power to fuel Spells. You can expend a use of your Channel Divinity as a Bonus Action, touching your holy symbol, uttering a prayer, and regaining 1 Spell Slot of your choice up to a Level equal to your Proficiency Bonus

Ability Score Improvement:

When you reach a Level with this Feature you can increase any Ability Score by +2 or two separate Ability Scores by +1 each

Divine Strikes

Your Melee Attacks deal an additional 1d6 Radiant Damage when using a Weapon you’re Proficient with

Divine Intervention:

When you truly need help you can call upon your Deity themselves to assist you. You implore its assistance and must roll a d20. On an 18 or higher your deity intervenes in the situation. The GM chooses the nature of this assistance; but commonly a higher level Divine Spell could be used at the opportune time. Upon a Success you cannot utilize this ability again for the next week while on a Failure you can retry upon completing a Long Rest. The DC for this is decreased to 17 when you reach Level 12 in this Class

Subclass: You can choose the type of Divine follower that you are at 1st Level, represented by a Domain that comes an assortment of Proficiencies learned by your training in the ways of your chosen place. There are ways to make any of these Domains work for any of the Divines but discuss with your GM how that would affect their world. You gain your Domain’s Features at 2nd Level, Improvements at 6th, and Advancements at 9th.

Death Domain - While commonly this Domain is seen as only subject to the purview of the Death Divine there are many divines which seek to keep the balance of life and death. They don’t seek to kill as many people fear but instead are focused on allowing people to move on through death. They are commonly insightful and tend to the remains of those who have passed on with conviction.

Trickery Domain - Divines don’t always give their powers to the best recipients and though the Divine of Trickery does enjoy granting these abilities out many notable clerics of this Domain came from those who tricked even the Divines into lending them their strength before deciding to just go completely crazy and throw caution to the wind afterwards. Not inherently violent however, clerics of Domain have an avoidant nature to combat a lot of the time.
