DIVINE DOMAINS

At 1st level, a cleric gai ns the Divine Domain featu re.
The following domain options are avai lable to a cleric,
in addition to those offered in the Player's Handbook:
Forge and Grave.

FORGE DOMAIN

The gods of the forge are patrons of a rtisans who work
with metal, from a humble blacksmith who keeps a
village in horseshoes and plow blades to the mighty elf
artisa n whose diamond-tipped arrows of mithral have
felled demon lords. The gods of the fo rge teach that,
with patience a nd hard work, eve n the most intractable
metal can be transformed from a lump of ore to a beau-
tifu lly wrought object. Clerics of these deities search
for objects lost to the forces of darkness, liberate mines
overrun by ores, and uncover rare and wondrous mate-
r ia ls 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 power-
ful weapons to protect them. Deities of this domain
include Gond , Reorx, Ona tar, Moradin, Hephaestus,
and Goibhn iu.

whether divine rejection led such a person to embrace a
dark path or whether the person was rejected because
the gods foresaw the potential for darkness in the per-
son's future. The gods remain silent on the matter.

Some clerics are homebodies who serve a particular
community of the faithful, but adventuring clerics tend
to have a certain crusading zeal to do their deity's work
in the wider world. This work may include ministering
to far-flung communities, as well as seeking out and de-
feating threats to the civilized world.

DIVINE DOMAIN

Clerics in the Forgotten Realms have the following
Divine Domain option, in addition to those in the Play-
er's Handbook.

ARCANA DOMAIN

Magic is an energy that s uffuses 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 knowl-
edge 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.

The gods of this domain are often associated with
knowledge, as learning and arcane power tend to go
hand-in-hand. In the Realms, deities of this domain in-
clude Azuth and Mystra, as well as Corellon Larethian
of the elven pantheon. In other worlds, this domain
includes Hecate, Math Mathonwy, and Isis; the triple
moon gods of Solinari, Lunitari, and Nuitari of Krynn;
and Boccob, Vecna, and WeeJas of Greyhawk.

125

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 sav­
ing 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.

ARCANE BANISHMENT

Cleric Level Banishes Creatures of CR ...

5th 1/2 or lower

SPELL BREAKER
Starting at 6th level, when you restore hit points to an
ally with a spell of 1st level or higher, you can also end
one spell of your choice on that creature. The level of the
spell you end must be equal to or lower than the level of
the spell slot you use to cast the healing spell.

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.

CHAPTER 4 I CLASSES

SUBCLASS OPTIONS

CLERIC: ORDER DOMAIN

The Order Domain represents discipline, as well as
devotion to a society or an institution and strict obedi­
ence to the laws governing it. On Ravnica, the domain is
favored by clerics of the Azorius Senate, who use it to
maintain and enforce the law, and of the Orzhov Syndi­
cate, who exploit law and order for their personal gain.
On other worlds, gods who grant access to this domain
include Bane, Tyr, Majere, Erathis, Pholtus, WeeJas,
Aureon, Maglubiyet, Nuada, Athena, Anubis, Forseti,
and Asmodeus.

The ideal of order is obedience to the law above all
else, rather than to a specific individual or the passing
influence of emotion or popular rule. Clerics of order are
typically concerned with how things are done, rather
than whether an action's results are just. Following the
law and obeying its edicts is critical, especially when it
benefits these clerics and their guilds or deities.

Law establishes hierarchies. Those selected by the
law to lead must be obeyed. Those who obey must do so
to the best of their ability. In this manner, law creates an
intricate web of obligations that allows society to forge
order and security in a chaotic multiverse.

ally who can make the attack.

CHANNEL DIVINITY: ORDER'S DEMAND
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity

creature of your choice that can see or hear you within

or be charmed by you until the end of your next turn or
until the charmed creature takes any damage. You can
also cause any of the charmed creatures to drop what
they are holding when they fail the saving throw.

EMBODIMENT OF THE LAW
At 6th level, you become remarkably adept at channeling
magical energy to compel others.

If you cast a spell of the enchantment school using
a spell slot of 1st level or higher, you can change the
spell's casting time to 1 bonus action for this casting,

them, you don’t add them together, unless a rule says
you can. Instead, you decide which temporary hit points
to keep. For more information on temporary hit points,
see chapter 9 of the Player’s Handbook.

Steps of the Brave

6th-level Twilight Domain feature
You draw strength from your connection to
twilight and find yourself at home within its dark
embrace, gaining two benefits:

• You have advantage on saving throws against
being frightened.

• If you are in dim light or darkness, you can use
a bonus action to magically give yourself a
flying speed equal to your walking speed until
the end of your next turn.

Divine Strike

8th-level Twilight Domain feature
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. When you reach 14th level,
the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Midnight Shroud

17th-level Twilight Domain feature
You can harness the shrouding power of night to
protect your allies and stymie your foes.
Whenever you cast the darkness spell using a
spell slot, you can choose a number of creatures
that you can see (including yourself) equal to
your Wisdom modifier (minimum of one). The
chosen creatures can see through the darkness.

W hether calling on the elemental forces of nature or
emulating the creatures o f the animal world, druids are
an em bodim ent o f nature’s resilience, cunning, and fury.
They claim no m astery over nature. Instead, they see
them selves as exten sion s o f nature’s indom itable will.

Pow er of N ature

D ruids revere nature above all, gaining their spells and
other m agical pow ers either from the force o f nature
itself or from a nature deity. M any druids pursue a
mystic spirituality o f transcendent union with nature
rather than devotion to a divine entity, w hile others
serve gods o f wild nature, animals, or elemental forces.
The ancient druidic traditions are som etim es called
the Old Faith, in contrast to the w orship o f g od s in
temples and shrines.

Druid spells are oriented toward nature and anim als—
the pow er o f tooth and claw, o f sun and m oon, o f fire
and storm. Druids also gain the ability to take on animal
form s, and som e druids make a particular study of this
practice, even to the point w here they prefer animal
form to their natural form.

Druid Level Feature
2nd Balm of the Summer Court
6th Hearth of Moonlight and Shadow
10th Hidden Paths
14th Walker in Dreams

BALM OF THE SUMMER COURT

At 2nd level, you become imbued with the blessings of
the Summer Court. You are a font of energy that offers
respite from injuries. You have a pool of fey energy rep­
resented by a number of d6s equal to your druid level.

As a bonus action, you can choose one creature you
can see within 120 feet of you and spend a number of
those dice equal to half your druid level or less. Roll the
spent dice and add them together. The target regains a
number of hit points equal to the total. The target also
gains 1 temporary hit point per die spent.

You regain all expended dice when you finish a
long rest.

HEARTH OF MOONLIGHT AND SHADOW

At 6th level, home can be wherever you are. During a
short or long rest, you can invoke the shadowy power of
the Gloaming Court to help guard your respite. At the
start of the rest, you touch a point in space, and an invis­
ible, 30-foot-radius sphere of magic appears, centered
on that point. Total cover blocks the sphere.

While within the sphere, you and your allies gain a +5
bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) and Wisdom (Perception)
checks, and any light from open flames in the sphere (a
campfire, torches, or the like) isn't visible outside it.

The sphere vanishes at the end of the rest or when you
leave the sphere.

HIDDEN PATHS

Starting at 10th level, you can use the hidden, magical
pathways that some fey use to traverse space in the
blink of an eye. As a bonus action on your turn, you can
teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can
see. Alternatively, you can use your action to teleport
