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.  

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Cleric table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.   You prepare the list of cleric spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the cleric spell list. When you do so, choose a number of cleric spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your cleric level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.   For example, if you are a 3rd-level cleric, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells o f 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list o f prepared spells.   You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of cleric spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.  

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 W isdom whenever a cleric spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a cleric spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.   Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier   Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier  

Ritual Casting

You can cast a cleric spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.  

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a holy symbol as a spellcasting focus for your cleric spells.

Overview & Creation

Night Domain

Proficiencies

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency with the trident and can choose that as your starting equipment.  

Starlight

At 1st level, you gain the Dancing Lights cantrip.  

Foggy Escape

At 1st level, you can vanish in a puff of mist in response to harm. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to create a blinding smoke and teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of one). You regain all uses of this feature when you complete a long rest. Starting at 5th level, creatures within a radius of 10 feet from your original location and your location after your teleport are blinded until the end of your next turn.  

Channel Divinity | Turn the Accursed

Replaces the normal Turn Undead Feature. As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer denouncing the accursed. Each accursed creature 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 far away 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 there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.  

Channel Divinity | Cover of Darkness

Starting at 2nd level, you can cover your allies in a cloak of dark shadows. When an ally within 30 feet of you is attacked or makes a saving throw, you can use your reaction to force the attack to be made with disadvantage, or allow the saving throw to be made with advantage. You must use this ability before the roll is made. If you use this ability while you and your targeted ally are in dim light or darkness, you regain your expended use.  

Channel Divinity | Guiding Stars

At 6th level, a circlet of small stars form around your head. These three softly glimmering lights are only visible to you and those that you choose to see it, as well as any other clerics of the Night Domain. As an action, you may remove a star and perform one of the following actions:   Blacken. You throw the star up to 30ft in any direction, and once you speak the command word its light blinks out, taking all nearby light in a 30 ft radius with it. All enemies within the radius are considered blinded for one round or until you use a bonus action to end it. This does not affect creatures with blindsight, but does affect creatures with darkvision.   Shine. You select yourself or a friendly creature within 50 ft of you that is Large or smaller to send the star to. Once it reaches the target, it erupts into several thousand smaller stars that twinkle and glow, making it difficult to look in its direction. Any attack made against the friendly creature has disadvantage for one round or until you use a bonus action to end it.   Ray. You choose an enemy you can see within 60 ft of you, and the star soars high above to cast a faint silver beam of moonlight on the target. The creature takes 1d6 radiant damage at the beginning of each of its turns for three rounds or if it spends an action to step out of the beam. You may use a bonus action to move the beam to another target or to end it.   Glow. You choose an enemy you can see within 60 ft of you. Targeted creatures are wreathed with numinous light for one minute. Affected creatures give off bright light for 30 feet and dim light for another 30 feet, gain no benefits from invisibility, automatically fail Stealth checks and cannot surprise another creature, and they have disadvantage on attack rolls. At the end of each of their turns, affected creatures can make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a success, the effect on them ends  

Dream Strike

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with the divine energy of the moonlight. 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 radiant or psychic damage (your choice) to the target. When this happens, your weapon or spell turns a pale silver and glows softly as it hits the target, and a weapon infused with this energy is effectively silvered. The attack fades to darkness once it strikes. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.  

Guiding Stars

At 17th level, a circlet of small stars form around your head. These three softly glimmering lights are only visible to you and those that you choose to see it, as well as any other clerics of the Night Domain. As an action, you may remove a star and perform one of the following actions:   Blacken. You throw the star up to 30ft in any direction, and once you speak the command word its light blinks out, taking all nearby light in a 30 ft radius with it. All enemies within the radius are considered blinded for one round or until you use a bonus action to end it. This does not affect creatures with blindsight, but does affect creatures with darkvision.   Shine. You select yourself or a friendly creature within 50 ft of you that is Large or smaller to send the star to. Once it reaches the target, it erupts into several thousand smaller stars that twinkle and glow, making it difficult to look in its direction. Any attack made against the friendly creature has disadvantage for one round or until you use a bonus action to end it.   Ray. You choose an enemy you can see within 60 ft of you, and the star soars high above to cast a faint silver beam of moonlight on the target. The creature takes 1d6 radiant damage at the beginning of each of its turns for three rounds or if it spends an action to step out of the beam. You may use a bonus action to move the beam to another target or to end it.   Glow. You choose an enemy you can see within 60 ft of you. Targeted creatures are wreathed with numinous light for one minute. Affected creatures give off bright light for 30 feet and dim light for another 30 feet, gain no benefits from invisibility, automatically fail Stealth checks and cannot surprise another creature, and they have disadvantage on attack rolls. At the end of each of their turns, affected creatures can make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a success, the effect on them ends.

Class Features

Divine Domain

Choose one domain related to your deity. 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.   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.  

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.  

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 o f 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 far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet o f 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 there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.  

Ability Score Increase

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.  

Destroy Undead

Starting at 5th level, when an undead fails its saving throw against your Turn Undead feature, the creature is instantly destroyed if its challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold, as shown in the Destroy Undead table below:   Cleric Level | Destroys Undead of CR 5th | 1/2 or lower 8th | 1 or lower 11th | 2 or lower 14th | 3 or lower 17th | 4 or lower  

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 o f the intervention; the effect of any cleric spell or cleric domain spell w ould 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 a long rest.   At 20th level, your call for intervention succeeds automatically, no roll required.
