Starfox's 5th Edition Fan Page

This is a work in progress.

This is an original Cleric domain for 5A.

Cold is the ultimate power. It ruled supreme before the sun first rose and shall rule supreme over the quiet and peaceful world at the end of time. Clerics of cold live cold lives, spreading it or appeasing it.

Greyhawk Made famous by the Vatun-worshiping Suel of the north, other arctic people such as the Chakji and Flan also worship the power of the cold winter night, mostly to appease it.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency with two of the following: the net, the trident, Athletics, water vehicles, or navigator's tools.

Bonus Cantrips

At 1st level, you learn the Acid Splash and Shape Water cantrips. These count as cleric cantrips to you, but they do not count against your number of cantrips known. If you already know one or more of these cantrips, you learn a cleric cantrip of your choice for each of them you already know.

Amphibian

At 1st level, you can breathe both air and water and get a swim and land speed of 30 feet if you lack a land or swim speed or your natural speed is slower than 30 feet.

Channel Divinity: Surge

Starting at 2nd level, you can use Channel Divinity to move creatures and objects as if they were caught in a surge of water.

As an action, all creatures in a 20 feet cube are moved 20 ft. in a horizontal direction of your choice. Creatures of your choice in the area must make a Strength (Athletics) check against your spell DC. A creature with a swim speed has advantage on this check. A creature that is in water has disadvantage on this check. On a failed save, you can move the creature an additional 20 ft. in any horizontal direction and you can inflict 1d10 + your cleric level bludgeoning damage. At level 6, this becomes magical bludgeoning damage.

Cold Deeps

At 6th level, you gain resistance to cold damage and immunity to the effects of water pressure.

Blessed Strikes

When you reach 8th level, you are blessed with divine might in battle. When a creature takes damage from one of your cantrips or weapon attacks, you can also deal 1d8 radiant damage to that creature. Once you deal this damage, you can't use this feature again until the start of your next turn.

Charybdis' Mantle

Starting at 17th level, you can cast Maelstrom centered on yourself at will. This version of the spell does not require concentration. The effect is centered on you and moves as you move. The spell does not cause damage to or create difficult ground for your allies, but still moves them.

This ability is destructive to the surroundings, you may wish to avoid using it in civilized settings unless there is great need. It also makes noise, making Stealth impossible under most circumstances.
