Spiritualism Domain (5A)

Starfox's 5th Edition Fan Page

This is a work in progress.

This is a Cleric domain for 5A.

Spiritualism is the art creating connections between the spirits of the divine, the living, the dead, and the community. Through this link, the spiritualist is able to support and energize themselves and others, healing wounds, raise the dead, and other miracles.

Spiritualism is a psionic art, and is often not linked to a specific god but to a more abstract divine force or source of light. Many other clerics are sceptical about spiritualists, accusing them of heresy and self-aggrandizement.

Psionic Subclasses

Psychic Bond

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you can tie yourself and your companion with a Psychic Bond. Select up to six willing creatures within 30 feet who are able to understand a language. As long as these companions stay within 200 ft. of you, all of you can communicate telepathically.

Channel Divinity: Shared Skill

Select any one proficiency a creature you are in a Psychic Bond with has. All creatures part of your Psychic Bond gain that proficiency for one hour.

Bond Magic

Beginning at 6th level, you can use Psychic Bond to deliver spells to your allies. You can cast any spell with a range of touch on an ally that is part of your Psychic Bond, regardless of range.

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. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Mental Shield Wall

Starting at 17th level, you and allies in your Psychic Bond gain resistance to psychic damage and advantage on saving throws against effects that would give the charmed and frightened conditions.

Designer's Notes

A key psychic discipline. Psychic power always had the aspect of mutual support. This is my attempt to add that to the game.
