The Cavern Domain is granted by deities of the earth, particularly those revered by dwarves and elemental lords of stone such as
Grugar. These gods embody the resilience of the mountains, the hidden wisdom of deep places, and the unyielding power of the earth. Their followers are often explorers of the deep, guardians of underground sanctuaries, and warriors who use the very stone around them as both shield and weapon. Clerics of this domain guide others safely through treacherous tunnels, call upon the might of earthquakes when battle demands it, and use the embrace of stone itself to slip through the earth unseen.

Stoneborn Resilience

Channel Divinity: Tremor Rebuke
2nd-Level Cleric (Cavern Domain) Feature
You can use your Channel Divinity to unleash the fury of the earth when struck. When a creature you can see within 5 feet of you hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to hold aloft your holy symbol and force them to make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is knocked prone and takes bludgeoning damage equal to 2d10 + your cleric level as the ground quakes beneath them. On a successful save, they take half damage and aren't knocked prone.

You have adapted to life beneath the earth, gaining an innate sense of your surroundings. You gain tremorsense out to a range of 10 feet.
