Playing a Fateweaver
As a Fateweaver, you are a chosen champion of the god of fate, entrusted with the power to alter the course of destiny itself. Your role in the party might vary from a frontline warrior, wielding martial prowess and divine magic, to a supportive guardian, shaping the battlefield with foresight and protective spells. The path you tread is woven with the strings of fate, and your actions ripple with the potential to change the world's destiny. Whether confronting evil forces or safeguarding the innocent, remember the weight of your divine mandate—to maintain the balance between might and magic, fate and free will.
Threads of Fate
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons, heavy armor the History skill. Also at 1st level, you can manipulate the Weave to glimpse into the future. As a bonus action, you can touch a creature and grant it a Fateweaver die, a d6. Within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw it makes. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Channel Divinity: Weave Bind
At 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to temporarily bend the Weave around a creature, binding its fate to your will. As an action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, it is restrained for 1 minute or until you lose concentration (as if concentrating on a spell). While restrained by this effect, the creature can't speak or cast spells that require verbal components.
Guardian of Destiny
Starting at 6th level, you can intervene in the flow of fate to protect an ally. When you or an ally within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to grant the target resistance to that instance of damage.
Empowered Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 psychic damage.
Master of Fate
At 17th level, you embody the ultimate guardian of destiny. As an action, you can activate an aura with a 30-foot radius centered on yourself. For 1 minute, while in this aura, you and any allies gain advantage on all attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws against spells. Once used, you can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
