Base Class: Cleric
The Fear domain focuses on the dark frightening energy — one of the fundamental forces of the universe — that tempts fate. The deities of fear promote risk through affecting the important and powerful, ignoring those in need, and driving away the forces of life and healing. Almost any non-lawful good deity can claim influence over this domain.

Starting when you choose this domain at 1st level, you can use your action to target a creature within 30 feet of you and force it to make a constitution saving throw against your spell save DC, on a failure, the target has disadvantage on attacks against you for a minute. The target can make the save again at the end of it's turns. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your wisdom modifier per long rest.
