This is an original Cleric domain for 5A.
The prophecy domain is dedicated to communing between the world of the divine and mortals, bringing advice, warning, and if warnings are unheeded, retribution. Gods of divination, wisdom, and fate endow prophets at any time, but at times any god may feel the need to send an prophet to bring an important divine message.
Players and GMs both are encouraged to come up with a divine message the prophet is trying to spread and to integrate this with the theme of the campaign. Staying true to type, people will rarely heed the prophet's warnings, forcing them to take action themselves. Only once the danger has been faced will the prophet's message be commonly accepted.
Greyhawk Prophets in the Grayhawk setting are sent when there is a conflict of faith, either within a cult or between the churches of different gods. New gods may send prophets to announce their arrival. This rarely resolves the situation, rather it escalates conflict, which may be why the gods send fewer and fewer prophets.

As a reaction you can allow you or an ally within 30 feet to reroll a single ability check, attack roll, or saving throw with advantage. They must use the second roll, even if it is worse. You can use this a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus and regain all uses when you finish a long rest.

Good Omens can now affect all allies within 100 feet and Bad Omens can now affect all enemies within 100 feet, as long as they are all rolling for the same task or action. This can help group checks and all saving throws made against a single effect that affects multiple allies. Allies decide if they want to reroll or not. You decide if enemies must reroll or not.
