Undeath Domain

The gods of undeath are thankfully few, but they are an insidious threat to all life. Their clerics promote the blurring of the boundaries between life and death, some because they see immortality as an undead being preferable to the pain of living, others because their plan is to turn all life into undeath and enslave them. For whatever cause they strive, it is certain that clerics of undeath will not find a warm welcome in nearly any land. Gods of the domain of undeath are Kiaransalee, Malphagor, Myrkul, Shar, and Velsharoon.

Channel Divinity: Control Undead

Beginning at 1st level, when you use your Turn Undead feature you can instead present your holy symbol and speak a prayer to command the undead. Each undead with a cr equal to or lower than your cleric level that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, you take control of it for 1 minute. As a bonus action, you may issue a command, such as “stay here”, “go there”, “attack him”, or “guard this area” to the undead you have control over using this feature. Once given a command, the undead will continue that course of action as long as they remain under you control.

Ward Of Undeath

At 2nd level, undead have disadvantage on attack rolls against you, and you advantage on saving throws against magic and spells of undead. All undead you have control over using a cleric spell or cleric feature have advantage on all saving throws against all creatures except you.

Additionally, while you have at least one undead under your control using a cleric spell or cleric feature within 60 ft of you all attacks rolls against you are at disadvantage.

It remains for 10 minutes, until it or you die, or until you dismiss it as an action. At 11th level the duration increases to 1 hour, at 17th level the duration increases to 24 hours. At higher levels in this subclass you can summon an undead with a challenge rating that is higher than 1, the challenge rating increases by 1 for each additional level you have in this subclass.

If you are inflicted with necrotic damage or damage from a spell from the Necromancy school you instead regain hit points equal to the damage you would have received.
You are immune to all spells from the Necromancy school unless you choose to be effected by them and immune to any spell or magical effect that would instantly kill you such as the power word kill spell.
You also gain truesight up to 120 feet.
