Resistance + retaliation is intended to lead to cleric who can be the party’s tank – more than other clerics, I mean. Obsidian Guard comes fairly directly from the Dragon Magazine article, though I’ve tweaked the effect a bit. I’m significantly inspired for this by Velendo of Calphas in the incredible Defenders of Daybreak Story Hour. I’ve limited it to once per turn to put a pretty hard damper on a range of multiclassing exploits. Inner Strength is the weird and risky feature, but using Wisdom for weapon attacks is the specific thing that Tim and I really like about the 4e Earth domain, which appeared in Dragon Magazine #392. While you stand on earth, stone, or wood, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.You gain tremorsense out to a range of 30 feet.When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.īeginning at 17th level, your connection to the earth and stone deepens. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an additional 1d8 bludgeoning damage. Starting at 8th level, your weapon strikes land with the weight of mountains. Creatures of your choice within 10 feet of the target must roll a Dexterity saving throw, taking 1d10 + your Wisdom modifier piercing damage on a failure.īeginning at 6th level, while you are conscious, you can’t be moved or knocked prone against your will, except by an effect that teleports you.įurthermore, when you hit a creature with an opportunity attack, its walking speed is halved until the start of your next turn. At the end of that duration, if you prevented any damage with this feature, the obsidian guard explodes. You or a creature touching the ground within 30 feet of you gains resistance to all damage until the start of your next turn. Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to protect yourself and nearby allies.Īs a bonus action, you strike a weapon you are holding against the ground, and a shield of obsidian rises to protect a creature. If the spell you cast grants temporary hit points, they stack with the temporary hit points you grant with this feature. Your speed is not reduced by wearing heavy armor.Īt 1st level, once per turn when you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, you can use Wisdom instead.įurthermore, when you cast an abjuration spell of 1st level or higher on one or more willing creatures, you can also give one target of the spell temporary hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier + the level of the spell slot expended.
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency in heavy armor, martial bludgeoning weapons, war picks, and mason’s tools. From the earth come green and growing things, precious metals and stones, and the materials of fortification. The domain represents the soil, the power of stone, the strength of bedrock, and the whole of a planetary body. Many gods of death, the underworld, treasure, or greed might also offer this domain to their more benevolent sects. Gods of earth and stone are often among the eldest of a pantheon, such as Gaia and Grumbar, or gods of towering mountain peaks, such as Skadi or Dunatis. This article, originally posted in Harbinger of Doom, comes at the suggestion of the excellent Tim Baker. Nature, Forge, and Grave all touch on the edges of that general kind of idea, while leaving tons of open space. In this case – as if the title of the post didn’t give it away! – I’m talking about a domain of Earth or Stone. Of all the domains that have seen official support in 5e, there are a few ongoing, surprising gaps compared to the 3.5 list of domains and, for that matter, 4e builds.
