Spell Save DC = 8 + prof + Wisdom mod
Spell Attack Modifier = prof + Wisdom mod

If you have not prepared the spell for the day you can make a Religion check to cast from your Ritualbook. (see Ritual Caster Class Feature for more information)

(2nd) Channel Divinity

At 2nd levei, you gain the ability to channel divine energy directly from your deity, using that energy to fuel magical effects. Vou start with two such effects: Turn Undead 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 your Channel Divinity. you choose which effect to create. Vou 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 c1eric spell save DC.

Beginning at 6th leveI, 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.

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. lt 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.

(4th) Ability Score Improvement

At level 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores by 1. You can’t increase any ability score above 20.

(5th) Destroy Undead

At 5th/8th/11th/14th/17th you gain an increase in the level of undead destroyed if they fail their saving throw vs your Turn Undead Channel Divinity. Starting at 1/2 CR or clower at 5th level, it increases to 1 CR at 8th level and by 1 for each increase after that.

(10th) Divine Intervention

Beginning at 10th levei, 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 action. Describe the assistance you seek, and roll percentile dice. If you roll a number equal to or lower than your cleric leveI, your deity intervenes. The DM chooses the nature of the intervention; the effect of any cleric spell or cleric domain spell would be appropriate. lf 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 leveI, your call for intervention succeeds automatically, no roll required.

Background Elements

• Temple
• Keepsake
• Secret

Temple

Most clerics start their lives of service as priests in an order, then later realize that they have been blessed by their god with the qualities needed to become a cleric. To prepare for this new duty, candida tes typically receive instruction from a cleric of a temple or another place of study devoted to their deity.

Some temples are cut off from the world so that their occupants can focus on devotions, while other temples open their doors to minister to a nd heal the masses. What is noteworthy about the temple you studied at?

6 – You served in a temple in the Outer Planes.

Keepsakes

d6 / Secret

4 – Even though you can work divine magic, you have never truly felt the presence of a divine essence within yourself.
5 – You are plagued by nightmares that you believe are sent by your god as punishment for some unknown transgression.
6 – In times of despair, you feel that you are but a plaything of the gods, and you resent their remoteness.

Design Details

Here are options I had considered for level advancement.

(1st) Renown (House Rule)

Starting at 1st level, a character gains renown of their choice in the nation they train in when they gain a level equal to the class level gained. They also gain renown in their secret craft, and as a weapons master when they advance either weapons mastery or a secret craft using a class feature.

(1st) Secret Craft (House Rule)

Starting at 1st level, you gain a secret craft based on the associated Secret Crafts listed with your selected Domain. At 4th/8th/12th/16th/20th you can increase one existing Secret Craft (linked to your known domains) one step or learn a new one. If you learn a new one, you select it from your crafts based on your known domains.

Each time you gain this class feature the maximum you can increase the secret craft too increases by one. These are at 4th (1st Circle), 8th (2nd Circle), 12th (3rd Circle), 16th (4th Circle) and 20th (5th Circle). This is part of your class level and more Secret Crafts can be learnt with Downtime activities.

(3rd) Weapon Mastery (House Rule)

Starting at 3rd level, you can increase your proficiency in one weapon every 3 class levels (6th, 9th, 12th, 15th and 18th). You still need to meet the level requirements to advance the weapons as normal. Learning these weapon proficiencies are part of gaining the class level, and further weapon proficiencies can be learned with downtime activities.

The advanced versions of weapon proficiencies and the required tiers: Skilled (Tier 1), Expert (Tier 2), Master (Tier 3), and Grand Master (Tier 4).

(6th) Tier Upgrade

At 6th/11th/16th your cleric gains a Tier Upgrade which give the cleric a chance to change their Pantheon to one of the Racial or Cultural Pantheons or extra ones based on their level. Eitehr way you can select an extra Domain associated with your Immortal. A Cleric can only have one active domain at a time, but can switch the active domain during a short rest.

At 6th Level they can include Elemental Pantheons. At 11th Level they can include Sphere or Immortal Pantheons. At 16th Level they can follow the Immortal without a Pantheon.

A cleric can only change pantheons as long as their Selected Immortal stays the same in the new Pantheon.

• 2020-09-20 – Cleaned up the Prayebook details to note how many spells you know, and that you learn a new ritual spell with each new level.
