Expectations

Cleric

Divine magic, as the name suggests, is the power of the gods, flowing from them into the world. Clerics are conduits for that power, manifesting it as miraculous effects. The gods don’t grant this power to everyone who seeks it, but only to those chosen to fulfill a high calling.

Harnessing divine magic doesn’t rely on study or training. A cleric might learn formulaic prayers and ancient rites, but the ability to cast cleric spells relies on devotion and an intuitive sense of a deity’s wishes.

Clerics combine the helpful magic of healing and inspiring their allies with spells that harm and hinder foes. They can provoke awe and dread, lay curses of plague or poison, and even call down flames from heaven to consume their enemies. For those evildoers who will benefit most from a mace to the head, clerics depend on their combat training to let them wade into melee with the power of the gods on their side.

When a cleric takes up an adventuring life, it is usually because his or her god demands it. Pursuing the goals of the gods often involves braving dangers in unsettled lands, smiting evil, or seeking holy relics in ancient tombs. Many clerics are also expected to protect their deities’ worshipers, which can mean fighting enemy raiders, negotiating peace between warring nations, or sealing a portal that would allow a demon prince to enter the world.

Channel Divinity: Turn Undead

Requires Level 10

Present your holy symbol to make all undead in a 3 tile radius around you make a Wisdom Saving Throw. If they fail the throw, they must immediately move their full movement doubled away from you, and cannot use movement on their next turn.

Divine Domain

In a pantheon, every deity has influence over different aspects of mortal life and civilization, called a deity’s domain. All the domains over which a deity has influence are called the deity’s portfolio. As a cleric, you choose one aspect of your deity’s portfolio to emphasize, and you are granted powers related to that domain.

Your choice might correspond to a particular sect dedicated to your deity. Alternatively, your choice of domain could simply be a matter of personal preference, the aspect of the deity that appeals to you most.

Each domain’s description gives examples of deities who have influence over that domain. You can read more about the deities of the Forgotten Realms here.

Choose your divine domain (subclass) from the Six available: Death Domain, Life Domain, Light Domain, Trickery Domain, Twilight Domain and War Domain. These will be unlocked at Level 10 and reach their full potential at Level 12.

Your divine domain must match a domain that falls under your chosen deity's portfolio.

Class Expectations

Clerics must be dedicated to the service of an individual deity within our approved Forgotten Realms pantheon. Additionally your Clerical Domain must match with your chosen deities portfolio. For example a cleric of Selune cannot be a Death Domain Cleric.

As such you are always under the watchful eye and scrutiny of your deity. Meaning you must follow their tenants, preachings, and otherwise represented their wishes on the material plane. Failure to do this will result in warning. Depending on the severity of the offense your cleric may lose access to their subclass abilities, or lose levels in the class and be given penance to undergo. Extreme cases or ones where forgiveness is not sought will result in the character be swapped to level 8 fighter and barred from returning to their particular clergy again.

As a conduit for divine power, you are granted the gift of channeling that magic into spells.

You attempt to blind a foe. Choose one creature that you can see within range to make a Constitution Saving Throw (DC 8 + Spell Bonus). If it fails the target is blinded until the end of combat. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make a Constitution saving throw. On a success, the spell ends.

Flavor Spells

The following spells are included in the cleric's repertoire, however; these spells cannot be used in combat and do not consume a spell slot. They cannot be used to gain advantage, access a base, or otherwise - they are only to enrich the narrative of your roleplay. For spells that involve affecting another person, they should be treated as social rolls. They are fully consent based and cannot be used to force an outcome in a roleplay scenario. Some are available to a newly created character (Level 8) and others are unlocked at Level 10.

Leomund's Tiny Hut

Evocation

1 Action

V, S

A 1 tile immobile dome of force springs into existence around and above you and remains stationary for 8 hours. The spell ends if you leave its area.

Nine creatures of Medium size or smaller can fit inside the dome with you. The spell fails if its area ever includes a larger creature or more than nine creatures. The atmosphere inside the space is comfortable and dry, regardless of the weather outside.

Until the spell ends, you can command the interior to become dimly lit or dark. The dome is opaque from the outside, of any color you choose, but it is transparent from the inside.

Light

Evocation

1 Action

You touch one object that is no larger than 10 feet in any dimension. Until the spell ends, the object sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. The light can be colored as you like. Completely covering the object with something opaque blocks the light. The spell ends if you cast it again or dismiss it as an action.

If you target an object held or worn by a hostile creature, that creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw to avoid the spell.

Mending

Transmutation

1 Action

V, S

This spell repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch, such as a broken chain link, two halves of a broken key, a torn cloak, or a leaking wineskin. As long as the break or tear is no larger than 1 foot in any dimension, you mend it, leaving no trace of the former damage.

This spell can physically repair a magic item or construct, but the spell can't restore magic to such an object.

Thaumaturgy

Transmutation
1 Action
V

You manifest a minor wonder, a sign of supernatural power, within range. You create one of the following magical effects within range:

Your voice booms up to three times as loud as normal for 1 minute.
You cause flames to flicker, brighten, dim, or change color for 1 minute.
You cause harmless tremors in the ground for 1 minute.
You create an instantaneous sound that originates from a point of your choice within range, such as a rumble of thunder, the cry of a raven, or ominous whispers.
You instantaneously cause an unlocked door or window to fly open or slam shut.
You alter the appearance of your eyes for 1 minute.

Create or Destroy Water

Transmutation
1 Action
V, S, M

You either create or destroy water.

Create Water. You create up to 10 gallons of clean water within range in an open container. Alternatively, the water falls as rain in a 30-foot cube within range, extinguishing exposed flames in the area.

Destroy Water. You destroy up to 10 gallons of water in an open container within range. Alternatively, you destroy fog in a 30-foot cube within range.

Continual Flame

Evocation
1 Action
V, S

A flame, equivalent in brightness to a torch, springs forth from an object that you touch. The effect looks like a regular flame, but it creates no heat and doesn't use oxygen. A continual flame can be covered or hidden but not smothered or quenched.

Ritual Spells

Spells that require components to cast, or spells that have longer and broader effects than any of the aforementioned combat and flavor spells, are considered rituals. They do not consume spell slots. Most require DM oversight and such will be denoted in a ritual's description if it does. If it does not, it can be cast as any other spell is cast in our dice system, should you have the required components on hand.

This is an RPR Spell, and does not require a DM Ticket!

You contact your deity or a divine proxy and ask up to three questions that can be answered with a yes or no. You must ask your questions before the spell ends. You receive a correct answer for each question.

Divine beings aren't necessarily omniscient, so you might receive "unclear" as an answer if a question pertains to information that lies beyond the deity's knowledge. In a case where a one-word answer could be misleading or contrary to the deity's interests, the DM might offer a short phrase as an answer instead.

If you cast the spell two or more times before finishing your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25 percent chance for each casting after the first that you get no answer. The DM makes this roll in secret.

Scrying

Divination
10 Minutes
V, S, M

Class Required:

Bard
Warlock
Cleric
Wizard

1x Crystal Ball
30x Arcane Residue
Item from Target of Scrying

You can see and hear a particular creature you choose that is on the same plane of existence as you. The target must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw, which is modified by how well you know the target and the sort of physical connection you have to it. If a target knows you're casting this spell, it can fail the saving throw voluntarily if it wants to be observed.

Knowledge

Secondhand (you have heard of the target): +5 Save Modifier

Firsthand (you have met the target): +0 Save Modifier

Familiar (you know the target well): -5 Save Modifier

Connection

Likeness or drawing/painting: -2 Save Modifier

Possession or garment: -4 Save Modifier

Body part, lock of hair, bit of nail, or the like: -10 Modifier

On a successful save, the target isn't affected, and you can't use this spell against it again for 24 hours.

On a failed save, the spell creates an invisible sensor within 10 feet of the target. You can see and hear through the sensor as if you were there. The sensor moves with the target, remaining within 10 feet of it for the duration. A creature that can see invisible objects sees the sensor as a luminous orb about the size of your fist.

Name or describe a person, place, or object. The spell brings to your mind a brief summary of the significant lore about the thing you named. The lore might consist of current tales, forgotten stories, or even secret lore that has never been widely known. If the thing you named isn't of legendary importance, you gain no information. The more information you already have about the thing, the more precise and detailed the information you receive is.

The information you learn is accurate but might be couched in figurative language. For example, if you have a mysterious magic axe on hand, the spell might yield this information: “Woe to the evildoer whose hand touches the axe, for even the haft slices the hand of the evil ones. Only a true Child of Stone, lover and beloved of Moradin, may awaken the true powers of the axe, and only with the sacred word Rudnogg on the lips."

At your touch, all minor curses affecting one creature or object end. If the object is a cursed magic item, its curse remains, but the spell breaks the owner's attunement to the object so it can be removed or discarded.

The Death domain is concerned with the forces that cause death, as well as the negative energy that gives rise to undead creatures. Deities such as Vecna and Myrkul are patrons of necromancers, death knights, liches, mummy lords, and vampires.
