\section{Cleric}\label{cleric}

Arms and eyes upraised toward the sun and a prayer on his lips, an elf
begins to glow with an inner light that spills out to heal his
battle-worn companions. Chanting a song of glory, a dwarf swings his axe
in wide swaths to cut through the ranks of orcs arrayed against him,
shouting praise to the gods with every foe 's fall. Calling dow na curse
upon the forces of undeath, a human lifts her holy symbol as light pours
from it to drive back the zombies crowding in on her companions. Clerics
are intermediaries between the mortal world and the distant planes of
the gods. As varied as the gods they serve, clerics strive to embody the
handiwork of their deities. No ordinary priest, a cleric is imbued with
divine magic.

\subsection{Background}\label{background}

\subsubsection{Healer sand Warriors}\label{healer-sand-warriors}

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 seek sit, 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 godson
their side.

\subsubsection{Divine Agents}\label{divine-agents}

Not every acolyte or officiant at a temple or shrine is a cleric. Some
priests are called to a simple life of temple service, carrying out
their god s' will through prayer and sacrifice, not by magic and
strength of arms. In some cities, priesthood amounts to apolitical
office, viewed as a steppingstone to higher positions of authority and
involving no communion with a god at all. True clerics are rare inmost
hierarchies. When a cleric takes up an adventuring life, it is usually
because his or her god demands it. Pursuing the goals of the god soften
involves braving dangers beyond the walls of civilization, smiting evil
or seeking holy relics in ancient tombs. Many clerics are also expected
to protect their deities' worshipers, which can mean fighting rampaging
orcs, negotiating peace between warring nations, or sea lin ga portal
that would allow a demon prince to enter the world. Most adventuring
clerics maintain some connection to established temples and orders of
their faiths. A temple might ask fora cleric's aid, ora high priest
might be ina position to demand it.

\subsubsection{Creating a Cleric}\label{creating-a-cleric}

As you create a cleric, the most important question to con sid eris
which deity to serve and what principles you want your character to
embody. Appendix B includes lists of many of the gods of the multiverse.
Check with your DM to learn which deities are in your campaign. Once you
've chosen a deity, consider your cleric's relationship to that god. Did
you enter this service willingly? Or did the god choose you, impelling
you into service with no regard for your wishes? How do the temple
priests of your faith regard you: as a champion ora troublemaker? What
are your ultimate goals? Does your deity have a special task in mind for
you? Or are you striving to prove yourself worthy of a great quest?

\paragraph{Quick Build}\label{quick-build}

You can make a cleric quickly by following these suggestions. First,
Wisdom should be your highest ability score, followed by Strength or

10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the cleric
spell list.

\paragraph{Cantrips}\label{cantrips}

At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the cleric
spell list. You learn additional cleric cantrips of your choice at
higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Cleric
table.

\paragraph{Preparing and Casting
Spells}\label{preparing-and-casting-spells}

slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots

cast, choosing from the cleric spell list. When you do so, choose a

two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared
spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination.

1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from
your list of prepared spells.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish along rest.
Preparing anew list of cleric spells requires time spent in prayer and
meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your
list.

\paragraph{Spellcasting Ability}\label{spellcasting-ability}

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your cleric spells. The power of
your spells comes from your devotion to your deity. You use your Wisdom
whenever a cleric spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In

for your cleric spells.

\subsubsection{Divine Domain}\label{divine-domain}

Tempest, Trickery, or War. Each domain is detailed at the end of the
class description, and each one provides examples of gods associated
with it. Your choice grants you domain spells and other features when
you choose it at 1st level. It also grants you additional ways to use
Channel Divinity when you gain that feature at 2nd level, and additional
benefits at 6th, 8th, and 17th levels.

\paragraph{Domain Spells}\label{domain-spells}

Each domain has a list of spells---its domain spells--- that you gain at
the cleric levels noted in the domain description. 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.

\subsubsection{Channel Divinity}\label{channel-divinity}

At 2nd level, you gain the ability to channel divine energy directly
from your deity, using that energy to fuel magical effects. You start
with two such effects: Turn Undead and an effect determined by your
domain. Some domains grant you additional effects as you advance in
levels, as noted in the domain description. When you use your Channel
Divinity, you choose which effect to create. You must then finish a
short or long rest to use your Channel Divinity again. Some Channel
Divinity effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from
this class, the DC equals your cleric spell save DC. Beginning at 6th
level, you can use your Channel Divinity twice between rests, and
beginning at 18th level. you can use it three times between rests. When
you finish a short or long rest, you regain your expended uses.

\paragraph{Channel Divinity: Turn
Undead}\label{channel-divinity-turn-undead}

As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring
the undead. Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you
must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw,
it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.

A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as faraway from
you as it can, and it can 't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of
you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the
Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from
moving. If th ere's now hereto move, the creature can use the Dodge

increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't
increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

your Turn Undead feature, the creature is instantly destroyed if its
challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold, as shown in the

\end{longtable}
\end{quote}

\subsubsection{Divine Intervention}\label{divine-intervention}

Beginning at 10th level, you can call on your deity to intervene on your
behalf when your need is great.

Imploring your deity's aid requires you to use your action. Describe the
assistance you seek, and roll percentile dice. If you roll a number
equal to or lower than your cleric level, your deity intervenes. The DM
chooses the nature of the intervention; the effect of any cleric spell
or cleric domain spell would be appropriate.

If your deity intervenes, you can't use this feature again for 7 days.
Otherwise, you can use it again after you finish along rest.

At 20th level, your call for intervention succeeds automatically, no
roll required.

\subsection{Divine Domains}\label{divine-domains}

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. For
example, the portfolio of the Greek god Apollo includes the domains of
Knowledge, Life, and Light. 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. Apollo, for example, could be worshiped in one region as Ph oeb
us (``radiant'') Apollo, emphasizing his influence over the Light
domain, and ina different place as Apollo Acesius (``healing''),
emphasizing his association with the Life domain. 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. Gods are included from the worlds of the Forgotten
Realms, Greyhawk, Dragon lance, and Eberron campaign settings, as well
as from the Celtic, Greek, Norse, and Egyptian pantheons of antiquity.

\subsubsection{Knowledge Domain}\label{knowledge-domain}

The gods of knowledge---includingOghma, Boccob, Gilean, Aureon, and
Thoth ---value learning and understanding above all. Some teach that
knowledge is to be gathered and shared in libraries and universities, or
promote the practical knowledge of craft and invention. Some deities
hoard knowledge and keep its secrets to themselves. And some promise
their followers that they will gain tremendous power if they unlock the
secrets of the multiverse. Followers of these gods study esoteric lore,
collect old tomes, delve into the secret places of the earth, and learn
all they can. Some gods of knowledge promote the practical knowledge of
craft and invention, including smith deities like Gond, Reorx, Onatar,
Moradin, Hephaestus, and Goibhniu.

\paragraph{Blessing of the Trickster}\label{blessing-of-the-trickster}

Starting when you choose this domain at 1st level, you can use your
action to touch a willing creature other than yourself to give it
advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. This blessing lasts for 1 hour
or until you use this feature again.

\paragraph{Channel Divinity: Invoke
Duplicity}\label{channel-divinity-invoke-duplicity}

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to create an
illusory duplicate of yourself.

As an action, you create a perfect illusion of yourself that lasts for 1
minute, or until you lose your concentration (as if you were
concentrating on aspell). The illusion appears in an unoccupied space
that you can see within 30 feet of you. As a bonus action on your turn,
you can move the illusion up to 30 feet to a space you can see, but it
must remain within 120 feet of you. For the duration, you can cast
spells as though you were in the illusion's space, but you must use your
own senses. Additionally, when both you and your illusion are within 5
feet of a creature that can seethe illusion, you have advantage on
attack rolls against that creature, given how distracting the illusion
is to the target.

\paragraph{Channel Divinity: Cloak of
Shadows}\label{channel-divinity-cloak-of-shadows}

Starting at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to vanish.

As an action, you become invisible until the end of your next turn. You
become visible if you attack or cast a spell.

poison---a gift from your deity. Once on each of your turns when you hit
a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an
extra 1d8 poison damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the
extra damage increases to 2d8.

\paragraph{Improved Duplicity}\label{improved-duplicity}

At 17th level, you can create up to four duplicates of yourself, instead
of one, when you use Invoke Duplicity. As a bonus action on your turn,
you can move any number of them up to 30 feet, to a maximum range of 120
feet.

\subsubsection{War Domain}\label{war-domain}

War has many manifestations. It can make heroes of ordinary people. It
can be desperate and horrific, with acts of cruelty and cowardice
eclipsing instances of excellence and courage. In either case, the gods
of war watch over warriors and reward them for their great deeds. The
clerics of such gods excel in battle, inspiring others to fight the good
fight or offering acts of violence as prayers. Gods of war include
champions of honor and chivalry (such as Torm, Heironeous, and
KiriJolith) as well as gods of destruction and pillage (such as
Erythnul, the Fury, Gruum sh, and Ares) and gods of conquest and
domination (such as Bane, Hextor, and Maglubiyet). Other war gods (such
as Tem pus, Nike, and Nuada) take a more neutral stance, promoting war
in all its manifestations and supporting warriors in any circumstance.
