The City Domain embodies the divine power of civilization itself—its vast streets, towering structures, and the endless hum of people moving through its veins. Clerics of this domain are attuned to the rhythm of urban life, able to navigate even the most labyrinthine alleys, understand the unspoken language of the streets, and influence the hearts and minds of its citizens. Whether as mediators, lawkeepers, or secret brokers of information, they serve as the divine conduits of civilization’s will.
Deities who grant the City Domain include gods of law, trade, knowledge, and architecture, such as those who watch over thriving metropolises or protect the interconnected systems that allow society to function. Their clerics are comfortable in the grandest of capitals and the most squalid of slums, finding divinity in the crowded avenues and the stories whispered in the dark corners of the city. These clerics wield magic that allows them to command attention, read the ebb and flow of a crowd, and even shape the very structures that define their domain.
Domain Spells
1st-Level Cleric (City Domain) Feature
You gain the following spells at the listed cleric levels as domain spells.
Urban Adaptation
1st-Level Cleric (City Domain) Feature
You are naturally attuned to the flow of civilization. You gain proficiency in either Persuasion or Insight, and you have advantage on ability checks made to navigate within a city, recall details about urban locations, or gather information.
Additionally, you can move through nonmagical difficult terrain in cities (such as crowded streets, crumbling structures, or rooftops) without extra movement cost.
Channel Divinity: Command the Streets
2nd-Level Cleric (City Domain) Feature
You can use your Channel Divinity to exert divine influence over the people and pathways of a city.
As an action, you invoke the power of the city to either:
Command the Crowd: Choose a number of creatures equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1) within 30 feet. Each must make a Wisdom saving throw or be Charmed or Frightened (your choice) for 1 minute. Charmed creatures view you as a respected authority, while Frightened creatures seek to avoid you.
Guide the Paths: For 10 minutes, you and a number of creatures equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1) can move at double speed through streets, tunnels, and rooftops. You automatically succeed on checks made to avoid urban obstacles or navigate a city.

You cannot be surprised.
