Nature Domain (Revised)

Gods of nature are as varied as the natural world itself, from inscrutable gods of the deep forests (such as Silvanus, Obad-Hai, Chislev, Balinor, and Pan) to friendly deities associated with particular springs and groves (such as Eldath). Druids revere nature as a whole and might serve one of these deities, practicing mysterious rites and reciting all-but-forgotten prayers in their own secret tongue. But many of these gods have clerics as well, champions who take a more active role in advancing the interests of a particular nature god. These clerics might hunt the evil monstrosities that despoil the woodlands, bless the harvest of the faithful, or wither the crops of those who anger their gods.

Bonus Proficiency

You gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Animal Handling, Nature or Survival.

Acolyte of Nature

At 1st level, you learn one cantrip of your choice from the druid spell list. This cantrip counts as a cleric cantrip for you, but it doesn't count against the number of cleric cantrips you know. 

Additionally, beasts can understand your speech, and you gain the ability to decipher their noises and motions. Most beasts lack the intelligence to convey or understand sophisticated concepts, but a friendly beast could relay what it has seen or heard in the recent past. This ability doesn't grant you any special friendship with beasts, though you can combine this ability with gifts to curry favor with them as you would with any nonplayer character.

Channel Divinity: Grasp of Nature

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your channel divinity to call upon nature to grapple your enemies with grasping vines, shifting sands and hurrying winds, either spectral or physical.

As an action, you can present your holy symbol and invoke the name of your deity. Creatures of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you much succeed on a Strength saving throw or have their movement speed reduced to 0 until they succeed the save. A creature must use an action or get aid with the "help" action to repeat the save, ending the effect on a success.

Dampen Elements

Starting at 6th level, when you or a creature within 30 feet of you takes acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage, you can use your reaction to grant resistance to the creature against that instance of the damage.

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 radiant damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Druidic Mastery

At 17th level, you choose four spells from the druid spell list, one from each of the following levels: 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th. You add them to your list of domain spells. Like your other domain spells, they are always prepared and count as cleric spells for you.
