The power of the chromatic dragons is one of raw elemental destruction, dominance, and unwavering will. Those who follow deities of chromatic dragons—whether Naromikia, lesser dragon gods, or even ascended draconic warlords—seek to embody their might. Clerics of the Chromatic Dragon Domain are conquerors, warriors, and elemental avatars, channeling the destructive power of dragonkind into their strikes. Some serve out of reverence, others out of ambition, seeing their power as proof of draconic favor.
The chromatic dragon deities care little for balance or restraint, granting their power to those who enforce their will through strength. Their followers gain hardened scales, elemental breath, and the ability to overwhelm their foes with sheer force. Unlike their metallic counterparts, these clerics rarely wield divine magic for healing and never for peace—only for war.

1st-Level Cleric (Chromatic Dragon Domain) Feature
You gain the following spells at the listed cleric levels as domain spells.
Draconic Resilience
1st-Level Cleric (Chromatic Dragon Domain) Feature
The power of dragonkind bolsters your body. You gain the following benefits:
You gain a Natural Armor Class equal to 13 + your Constitution modifier. At 11th level, this increases to 15 + your Constitution modifier instead.
When you take acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison damage, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage by an amount equal to your Cleric level + your Wisdom modifier. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Cleric Power Reservoir, regaining all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Draconic Fury
1st-Level Cleric (Chromatic Dragon Domain) Feature
You gain proficiency in Intimidate. If you were already proficient, you instead gain Expertise in Intimidate.
Additionally, your hands grow thick, hard scales and powerful claws that you can use as natural weapons that you can make unarmed strikes with. When you hit with your claws, you deal 1d6 slashing damage instead of the normal damage for an unarmed strike. At 11th level, this damage increases to 1d8 slashing damage.
Channel Divinity: Chromatic Breath
2nd-Level Cleric (Chromatic Dragon Domain) Feature
You can unleash draconic energy in a devastating breath attack. As an action, you exhale a destructive wave in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 3d8 damage on a failed save or half as much on a success. The damage type is your choice of acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison.
At 11th level, the damage increases to 5d8.
Elemental Supremacy
6th-Level Cleric (Chromatic Dragon Domain) Feature
Your mastery of draconic magic enhances your resilience and offense. You gain the following benefits:
You gain resistance to one damage type of your choice from among acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison. You can change this resistance when you finish a long rest.
When you cast a spell that deals acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison damage, you can ignore resistance to that damage, and treat immunity as resistance. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Cleric Power Reservoir, regaining all uses after a long rest.
Divine Strike
8th-Level Cleric (Chromatic Dragon Domain) Feature
You gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with elemental energy. Once on each of your turns, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
Chromatic Avatar
17th-Level Cleric (Chromatic Dragon Domain) Feature
You channel the overwhelming presence of the chromatic dragons, gaining the following benefits for 1 minute:
You sprout spectral draconic wings, giving you a flying speed of 60 feet.
You gain immunity to the elemental damage type you chose for Elemental Supremacy.
When you use Chromatic Breath, creatures have disadvantage on the saving throw if they are Frightened of you.
You can use this ability once per long rest, unless you expend a 6th-level spell slot to use it again.
