Judgment Arc (Passive)
When you cast a spell that deals lightning damage, you can choose one of the following effects to trigger:
- Bahamut’s Mercy: One creature of your choice within 10 feet of you or the target regains hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).,
- Kord’s Wrath: Another creature within 15 feet of the target takes lightning damage equal to your cleric level + Prof (no save, once per turn).,
This represents choosing between mercy or wrath each time you unleash divine lightning. ---
Wings of Judgment (1/Long Rest),
As a bonus action, you summon spectral platinum dragon wings crackling with lightning for 1 minute. (Requires Draconic Flight Active) While active:
- When you move within 5 feet of a hostile creature, you can choose to force them to make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = spell save DC) or take 2d6 lightning damage and be pushed 5 feet.,
- When you cast a healing spell, allies within 10 feet of you gain temporary hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier.,
This is Bahamut’s protection made manifest, combined with Kord’s movement and aggression. ---
Platinum Verdict,
You can expend your Channel Divinity to call down divine judgment in the form of a massive thunderbolt in the shape of a platinum dragon’s maw.
- Choose a point you can see within 60 feet.,
- Each creature in a 15-foot cone from that point must make a Dexterity saving throw.,
- On a fail: They take 4d10 lightning damage and are frightened until the end of their next turn.,
- On a success: Half damage, no fear.,
- Allies within the area instead gain resistance to lightning damage for 1 minute, as Bahamut shields the righteous.
