Blinding Light
You’ve learned to wield divine light with precision—moderating its intensity to dazzle as well as destroy.
Prerequisites: Cleric or Paladin level 5, able to deal radiant damage with a spell or ability
Benefit: When you deal radiant damage to a creature with a spell of 1st level or higher or Divine Smite, you can choose to reduce the total radiant damage dealt by an amount equal to twice your proficiency bonus. If you do, the target must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier). On a failed save, the creature is blinded until the start of your next turn.
You must choose to use this ability before damage is rolled. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.
Divine Might
Your divine power flows through your weapon strikes, reinforcing them with spiritual force.
Prerequisites: Cleric level 5
Benefit: As a bonus action, you can expend one use of your Channel Divinity to empower your weapon attacks for up to 1 minute. For the duration, as long as you maintain concentration, you add your Wisdom modifier to attack rolls and damage rolls with weapon attacks.
Divine Redoubt
You can focus your divine energy to shield your allies in a moment of impending danger.
Prerequisites: Cleric level 5, Charisma 13 or higher
Benefits: When a creature within 30 feet of you is about to make a saving throw, you can use your reaction and expend one use of your Channel Divinity to shield them and nearby allies. Choose a number of creatures within 30 feet of you, up to your Wisdom modifier (minimum one). Each chosen creature gains advantage on that saving throw. You may include yourself as one of the chosen creatures.
Grace's Reprisal
Your unwavering faith repels those who seek to bend or break your will. When you resist an enemy’s magic, your divine power lashes out in response.
Prerequisite: Cleric level 1
Benefit: When a creature within 30 feet of you forces you to make a saving throw against a spell or magical ability, and you succeed on that saving throw, you can use your reaction to invoke divine reprisal. The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your Wisdom modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, it takes radiant or necrotic damage (your choice) equal to your Cleric level + your Wisdom modifier. On a success, it takes half as much damage.
You must be able to see or hear the creature to target it with this feature. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Judgment of Light and Shadow
Prerequisite: Cleric level 1
Your divine power flows with either holy radiance or shadowed wrath. Choose radiant or necrotic damage when you take this feat. Your choice grants the following benefits:
-
When you cast a Cleric spell or cantrip that deals damage of the chosen type, you add your Wisdom modifier (minimum +1) to each damage roll of that spell.
-
You have advantage on saving throws against spells that deal damage of the type you did not choose.
Special: Once made, this choice is permanent.
Ordained Bearing
Your spiritual authority is expressed through measured presence and serene command.
Prerequisite: Cleric level 1
Benefits:
-
You gain proficiency in the Religion skill. If you are already proficient, you instead gain Expertise in Religion.
-
Once per short rest, when you cast a Cleric spell with a verbal component that forces a saving throw, you combine your spell with pronouncements of your god's power (no check required). A number of targets of the spell equal to your spellcasting ability modifier (minimum 1) have disadvantage on their saving throw.
Sacred Resilience
You can call upon divine power to shield your allies from supernatural threats, as a reaction.
Prerequisite: Cleric level 1
Benefit: When a character within 60 feet of you that you can see is forced to make a saving throw against a foe's spell or ability, you can use your reaction to invoke divine protection. Expend a use of Channel Divinity. That character makes the roll with advantage and gains a bonus to their saving throw equal to your Wisdom modifier. You can use this after the character has made the roll but it must be before the result is known.
Shared Spell
Your protective magic extends instinctively to those beside you, and your presence reinforces the resolve of allies when they falter.
Prerequisites: Bard, Cleric, or Druid level 1; or Paladin level 2
Benefit: Once per short or long rest, when you cast a single-target spell on yourself, you can also target one willing creature within 5 feet with the same spell, provided they are a valid target and the spell has no costly material component.
Step Between Life and Death
When allies fall, you move with unwavering purpose to bring them back from the brink.
Prerequisite: Cleric or Paladin level 5
Benefit: When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you drops to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to move up to your speed toward that creature, without provoking opportunity attacks. If you end this movement within 5 feet of the creature, you can immediately use one of the following as part of the same reaction:
-
Cast a spell with a casting time of 1 action and a range of touch from the cleric or paladin spell list, or
-
Use your Lay on Hands feature to restore hit points to the fallen creature.
You can use this feature once per short or long rest.
Warcaster’s Instincts
You’ve been burned, frozen, and disintegrated—but you're still standing. You’ve learned not just to endure magic, but to turn it against your enemies.
Prerequisites: Cleric level 3, Druid level 3, Sorcerer level 3, OR Wizard level 3
Benefits: Once per short rest, when you succeed on a Strength, Dexterity or Constitution saving throw against a spell of 1st level or higher, you can use your reaction to retaliate with disruptive force. The caster must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your spellcasting ability modifier) or take force damage equal to your level + your spellcasting ability modifier. They take no damage on a successful save.
