Through asserting your divine authority, you can command a type of creature. This ability works similar to the dominate monster spell, but it doesn't control the mind as much as it controls the creature's body. Choose one type: aberrations, beasts, celestials, constructs, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, giants, monstrosities, oozes, plants, or undead. Alternatively, you can select two races of humanoid (such as gnolls and orcs) as your chosen type. All creatures to be affected must be within your line of sight when first targeted by this ability or through your remote senses ability. Creatures may resist your attempt to control them by rolling a Wisdom saving throw DC equal to 12 + your Divine Rank + your Charisma, Intelligence, or Wisdom modifier (your choice). Once control is established, distance is not a factor and you can maintain control remotely, even across planes and through wards or barriers (except divine shields and ward spells cast by deities of higher Divine Rank than you). Each time you command the creature to do something that is against its nature, it may attempt to resist again. After each long rest of a creature controlled, they may attempt to resist again. Once a creature has succeeded against your control, you cannot attempt to control them again for 24 hours. As an action, you can attempt to control a number of creatures simultaneously, or spread out its uses, equal to your Divine Rank (a minimum of 1) before you must take a long rest to regain all expended uses of this ability. At any given time, however, you cannot have more creatures under your control than 10 times your Divine Rank (a minimum of 1). If you already have the maximum number of creatures under your control, you can still attempt to take control of other creatures, but must first release one or more creatures already under your control, which requires no action. For example, a deity with Divine Rank of 5 can attempt to control 5 creatures before needing to take a long rest. The deity can have up to 50 creatures under its control at any given time. If the deity already has 50 creatures under its control, it must release at least one to use this ability on a new creature.
You may take this divine feat multiple times, choosing a different creature type each time.
