Homebrew Cleric Subclass: Darkness Domain

As mentioned when discussing Torog, I like the idea of a sacred darkness. Twilight domain gave me a lot of what I wanted, but darkness can go a little bit further, I think.

I will say, however, that I’ve no idea how balanced this particular idea is.

DIVINE DOMAIN: DARKNESS

Before there was light, there was darkness, the primal void that cradled creation. There is darkness yet: the velvet shroud of night, the passages deep beneath the earth, the grey shadows that live even surrounded by light. Deities of the darkness domain, such as Shar, Nut, Nyx, Hecate, Erebos, Torog or Thautam, may be deities of primal darkness, the personifications of night, or perhaps deities of those places still untouched by light, the deities of the depths. They may be deities of the dark beyond the world, or the dark beyond the grave. They may be deities of mystery, of hidden things, of magic. Or perhaps they are deities of inner as well as outer darkness, deities of vengeance, secrets, death, and annihilation. Regardless, they are all, and their worshippers, linked by the velvet embrace of that oldest of domains: the darkness.

DOMAIN SPELLS

Once you gain a domain spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.

If you have a domain spell that doesn't appear on the cleric spell list, the spell is nonetheless a cleric spell for you.

At each indicated cleric level, you add the listed spells to your spells prepared.

Darkness Domain Spells

Cleric Level Spells

1st Armour of Agathys, Sleep

3rd Darkness, Pass Without Trace

5th Gaseous Form, Hunger of Hadar

7th Greater Invisibility, Shadow of Moil

9th Enervation, Hallow

SHROUD OF NIGHT

Sacred darkness shrouds your presence and expands your awareness. Beginning at 1st level, you gain a +5 bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) and Wisdom (Perception) checks while in dim light or darkness.

EYELESS BLESSING

The darkness has taught you that you need not eyes to perceive the world around you. At 1st level, you have blindsight to a range of 10ft. Within that range, you can effectively see anything that isn't behind total cover, even if you're blinded or in darkness. Moreover, you can see an invisible creature within that range, unless the creature successfully hides from you. This range increases as you gain levels in this class, to 20ft at 6th level, 30ft at 12th level, and 60ft at 17th level.

In addition, as an action, you can magically share this blindsight for 1 minute with a number of willing creatures within 30ft of you, up to a number of creatures equal to your Wisdom modifier. Once you have used this action, you cannot do so again until you have finished a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of any level to use it again.

CHANNEL DIVINITY: CLOAK OF DARKNESS

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your channel divinity to weave living shadow into a defense for yourself or another willing creature. As a bonus action on your turn, you present your holy symbol and gather darkness to you, weaving it into a protective cloak for yourself or another willing creature within 10ft of you. This cloak lasts for 1 minute, and grants a +2 bonus to AC for the duration.

DARK SHADOWS

Beginning at 6th level, you can call more actively upon the living darkness to attack your foes. When you slay a humanoid, you can capture its shadow as it dies and transform it into a Shadow, the statistics for which are in the Monster Manual. When the shadow appears, it gains temporary hit points equal to half your cleric level, as well as a bonus to its attack rolls equal to your Wisdom modifier. The shadow is an ally to you and your companions. In combat, it shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It obeys your verbal commands (no action required by you). If you don't issue any, it takes the Dodge action and uses its move to avoid danger.

The shadow remains in your service until the end of your next long rest, at which point it dissolves back into darkness.

Once you bind a shadow with this feature, you can't use the feature again until you finish a long rest

BLESSED STRIKES

Starting at 8th level, when a creature takes damage from one of your cantrips or weapon attacks, you can also deal 1d8 cold or necrotic damage (your choice) to that creature. Once you deal this damage, you can't use this feature again until the start of your next turn.

FALL OF NIGHT

At 17th level, you are an avatar of dusk and darkness, and can cast a pall of night across a battlefield. You can use your action to draw down an aura of magical darkness centred upon yourself. This aura spreads darkness in a radius of 60ft and dim light for a further 30ft beyond that, and lasts for 1 minute or until you dismiss it using another action. A creature with darkvision cannot see through this darkness, and non-magical light, as well as light created by spells of 6th level or lower, can't illuminate the area. While this darkness lasts, you and any of your allies that share your Eyeless Blessing deal extra psychic damage equal to your Wisdom modifier the first time you deal damage to a creature on your turn.

I didn't stop to talk to a lot of npcs bx i couldn't be fucked to do so #but Man.#It feels like they should have been mentioned in the main story at Some point #I straight up couldn't sleeo last night bc i was so worried theyd just fucking #Unexisted my second favorite character in this entire franchise.#Like i know Mipha isnt anything special by loz princess standards but i just love her ok.#i love her aesthetic #and seeing her statue was replaced in the domain was a bad feeling because like. that basically confirmed it for me that the game #was just going to pretend she never existed #which it still is but the spring having this name Helps. its a bandaid on a gunshot wound

has anyone written a god!Gale fic that involves tav taking down his ambition cult or am I going to have to traverse the angst myself

#i said what i said #i just dont think that there is a way for god!gale to remain a neutral/good god if mortals can influence divinity #because thats all it is at the end of the day right?#if fae-run makes and unmakes gods #and entire species can force a new deity to be born #then worship influences domain/traits/names/everything about said god #and i just think that a gale romanced tav who denied godhood #is withers champion #and all that other crazy act 3 stuff #is the only person who could face down that cult of ambition #so in ten years when its a Problem #because it will be!!!#who else is supposed to stop it?#i could ramble about this thought for hours so someone either stop me or encourage me #i will need to be hand held and walked through that minefield #bg3 #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep

Very late to the party again, but I think it is insane the comfort and many ways in which the World Beyond Numbers crew is comfortable with breaking the “rules” of actual play.

They have such an ability to forgo the instinct of playing nice and instead stick to nuanced and complex character choices that I would be terrified to take- ame checking out and escaping because she prioritized her duty over conforming to the citadel’s ways, Eursolon being ready to free spirits and fully go rogue to find his answers, Suvi’s decision to stick with orders at all costs- they are all so ready to go “fuck this, let’s make it interesting” and it leads to so much amazing and deep character work.

Dunno, I just think we should talk more about how insanely good they are as players and storytellers

#the wizard the witch and the wild one #world beyond number #Also Mr. Brennan Lee Mulligan #WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN NO CLERICS #Like of course no clerics you have defined the divine as spirits which are personifications and reflections of natures and not metaphysical #arbiters and avatars of a conceptual domain #BUT DOG HOW DOES RELIGION WORK IN UMORA THEN #ARE PEOPLE SIMPLY BEHOLDEN TO BELIEVE IN SPIRITS AS A FORM OF SOCIAL CONTRACT??#This should be its own post but alas #I love tags too much

As I am currently using this mod to infuse my honour mode light domain cleric playthrough with some RP flavour, here's a makeup/tattoo breakdown of Isobel from the character creator because I've seen people be curious about it. Also because I Just Think She's Neat and I also find it absolutely wild of her to have her holy symbol tattooed around her eyes, including on her eyelids. Just Cleric Things(TM).

Anyway, I left her with the smudged runny messy makeup because, I don't know, feels iconic.

There are also some cool refs of her and her outfit here.

#isobel thorm #i will forever be in love with her 'hasn't slept in about a century' look #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #mods #i have a whole framework for this you see this is act 2 bad end tadpoled isobel who got divine interventioned back in time to fix things #light domain isn't super fitting but you know what... twilight domain isn't in the game #life domain was my second option for the 'i'm a healer but...' vibes she has #but this is more fun which is what actually matters /obliterates your undead army HI DAD #the character artist mentioned the tidbit that those are tats and not just fancy face paint on that artstation post #i haven't been the same since

If Kipperlilly DOES end up betraying Porter/Jace as part of a secret other scheme she has (whether good or evil) and it has to do with saving Lucy, I just know she’s going to be a bitch about it and pull a ‘sorry, I only save High Five Heroes’ before leaving her other friends to die or some shit. And then she will take her final form: Magic Betty from Adventure Time, betraying her allies and saving her frost gf at the expense of the world. It would also parallel what Ankarna is going through (‘your girlfriend’s out of town, it sucks’, becoming a little imperialist rage machine under the influence of Porter/Sunstone but not being able to fully turn on Lucy despite going against her values and turning into a violent weirdo). This is my wish. My dream. I am manifesting it. Magic Betty Kipperlilly I believe in you.

#I am currently painting clown makeup on my face rn but this is what I’ve been rooting for from the beginning so let me dream #Come on though she HAS to have some other shit going on though right?#She was DEFINITLY in that temple when the Bad Kids said Ankarna’s name #Brennan literally rolled #and we know she was in Porter’s office #so WHY hadn’t she told him Ankarna’s real name yet? We know he genuinely believed Fig found it #Also the BKs couldn’t see who was in the window during the Wanda Childa scene #Which one of the RGs has invisibility?#HMMMM #Wanda saying ‘Kipperlilly? Why are you doing this? Is it because you’re jealous?’ before getting carried off by a fake Porter would let KP #know ‘okay they FULLY saw what happened after I killed Buddy and are onto us’ which would cause her to follow them to the temple #Also…if NONE of the Rat Grinders knew Ankarna’s name then what did Lucy write on her form to change her divinity???#We KNOW it was Ankarna’s name and not the ‘symbol representing her’ because no one could see it BECAUSE the god was dead and no one alive #knew her name #Which means Lucy HAD TO HAVE KNOWN and was keeping it from the others right?#And when she died and didn’t come back they were fucked because they couldn’t even check the form anymore #But #Brennan also said that if Porter WASNT using Devil’s Honey and genuinely believed in Rage And Conquest goddess Ankarna instead of just her #domain then he and his ritual would (maybe) bring her back instead of killing her permenantly so he can take her domain #And idk #A powerful goddess of rage and conquest who despite everything can’t be turned against her sister and ex #who’s resurrection would mean the rune could be broken and Lucy can come back to life #One who has (or had) a personal vendetta against at least one of the bad kids #and a personal vendetta against the people who led to Lucy’s death #that sounds pretty appealing to someone as spiteful and obsessive as Kipperlilly doesn’t it #especially after her best (maybe only real) friend died and didn’t come back #especially if she stayed dead specifically to stop Porter #Again I’m putting my clown makeup on but I don’t want her to be secretly good or anything just unhinged and gay and a parallel to Ankarna #Please world let me have this I’m on my knees #dimension 20

the funniest part about rewatching the seven this week? porter's big master plan that he's been working on for years? doesn't even rate a class C quest

#fhjy #dimension 20 #the timelines are wonky for Sure bc arthur is there for the girls and no one else lol #but checking the legendarium extrodia one week into junior year and there being NO a b or c quests #like yeah he's trying to make this town a divine domain and elmville is fucked. but the world's gonna be fine #reality will keep on ticking even if there is one more asshole with power #the Other funny part is actually kristen going to the 'steelworkers' union is actually Valid bc the mithril vein revitalizing that union

Hypothetical question. If someone was to make a D&D character based on Ebenezer Scrooge who gets his powers from his pact with the Ghosts of Christmas and/or his oath to keep to the ideals of Christmas, would he be a warlock or a cleric or - leaning on the edge of weirdness here - a paladin.

#dnd #dungeons & dragons #christmas #a christmas carol #further question what divine domain would best represent christmas #life light peace or twilight #or hell even the grave if we're going with the ghosts of christmas #if we go with warlock i feel like we have to go with warlock of the undead

in case anyone needed proof that aura of vitality is the best healing spell in the game, here you go.

#critical role #note watches c3 #critical role spoilers #critical role campaign 3 #critical role c3 #critical role liveblog #for context I played a twilight domain cleric and it's on their spell list #the spell alone is incredible but paired with the twilight domain's channel divinity #you get ridiculous passive healing per round #aura of life is also a really good one but it's a bit more situational #also I'm excluding power word heal here because it's a 9th level spell and as such is extremely inaccessible #whereas aura of vitality is 3rd level #'the game' being D&d 5e

PDFs of this and more can be found over on at my Patreon here!

Why worship a god if not to break things better :D

Tools of Destruction

Not to be mistaken for a PS3 game. Proficiency in smash

Channel Divinity: Shatter Defenses

This was a fun idea. How to work around high defense/ how to break things more effectively? Make them easier to break

Extra Attack

You know, I don't know why War domain doesn't do this

Destructive Blows

Siege Monster is probably the most common feature I give subclasses. But what can I say. Breaking things is fun

Vessel of Ruin

And this here is just the reverse of the war cleric capstone. I quite enjoyed it

At the moment, they have exclusive access to the following:

Groundbreaking Magic

Siege Engineer Specialization

Dragonborn Ancestry (PF2e)

Size Expanded

I also have three classes over on DriveThrueRPG to check out:

The Rift Binder. A class specialising in summoning monsters and controlling the battlefield.

The Witch Knight. A class that combines swords and sorcery in the most literal way.

The Werebeast. A class that turns you into a half beast to destroy your foes.

jokingly calling the divine comedy a fanfic is funny, but people seriously believing it (or stuff like the aeneid) is fanfic makes my brain hurt. there is a world of difference between the divine comedy and fanfiction, they are not comparable in any way. and i say that as someone who writes fanfic.

most fanfics can never be published because they deal with copyrighted material written under a capitalistic hellscape and must follow the laws about it. the divine comedy is using aspects that had influenced western culture for millenia to tell a serious story about the corruption and flaws dante saw in italy and religion. not to mention that religion and greek mythology weren't fandoms back then.

#dante #divine comedy #dante's inferno #listen i love reading and writing fanfic #but fanfic is very specific to a more modern (like last 200 years) era #and once something is in public domain its not really fanfic?#published modern pride and prejudice stories arent fanfic theyre modern retellings or reinterpretations

Decided to create another little god-- Luck. This time much simpler, since it's a much more human and small concept that Literally All Of Creation

Also they know each other

#cricket doodles #original character #original characters #oc #ocs #Unavailing Divinity #luck tag #creation tag #A kitty for good luck and bad luck !!!#They remain split for most of the story but they're meant to contrast Creation and Destruction's hatred for each other #By being aware of how their dichotomy is necessary to keep in balance #Regardless of how small their domain is they're a driving force for the story
