Cleric
Base Class: Cleric
The Poison Domain is the refuge of the silent, the cruel, and the inevitable. To these clerics, toxin is not merely a tool but a sacred medium of change—the ultimate equalizer that humbles the mighty and rots the corrupt from within. Followers of this path often serve deities who oversee the darker side of nature’s cycle or the calculated sting of betrayal.
Lolth’s servants use these gifts to weave webs of political and literal lethality, while Talona’s faithful see every spreading plague as a prayer. Those who bow to Zehir move through the shadows of the world, their very presence a lethal vapor. To a Poison priest, a gasping breath and a failing heart are the most beautiful hymns ever composed.

Potent Venom: Your poison damage ignores resistance and immunity, and you bypass immunity and advantage against to being poisoned. You can also change any damage type of your spells and magical effects to poison damage.

Nature’s Guide: You have advantage on Survival checks and any check involving Poisoner's Kit, as well as any Nature or Survival check related to poisons.
Internal Antitoxin: You are immune to poison damage and disease (this cannot be bypassed). You ignore all negative effects of being poisoned.
Reactive Healing: When you would take poison damage, you instead regain hit points equal to the damage dealt. If at maximum HP, you gain temporary hit points instead.
Reversed Toxicity: While you are poisoned, you gain advantage on all ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws and all negative effects are reversed into positive effects. If you are immune to being poisoned then this ability bypasses that immunity.
