Cleric
Base Class: Cleric

Gods of the Eldritch Domain operate far outside the bounds of mortal comprehension. These beings do not claim ownership over a force of nature or an aspect of life. Instead, they represent the cold, frightening unknown; entropy and chaos, and the fathomless emptiness of the void itself. Followers of such gods, if they can even be called as such, hear their words not through scripture or sermons, but through lucid dreams and wordless whispers.

Domain Spells

You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Eldritch Domain Spells table. See the Divine Domain class feature for how domain spells work.

Eldritch Domain Spells

Cleric Level Spells
1st command, hideous laughter
3rd detect thoughts, see invisibility
5th fear, tongues
7th confusion, dimension door
9th contact other plane, dominate person

Bonus Cantrip

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you learn one cantrip of your choice from the warlock spell list. This cantrip counts as a cleric cantrip for you and does not count against your total number of cantrips known.

Eldritch Blessing

Also at 1st level, you've been given otherworldly gifts. You can speak telepathically to any creature you can see within 60 feet of you. You don’t need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances, but it must be able to understand at least one language. In addition, whenever you would deal radiant damage or necrotic damage to a target via a cleric spell or feature, you can choose to deal psychic damage instead.

Channel Divinity: Burst of Madness

At 2nd level, you can unleash powerful bursts of maddening aberrant energy. As an action, you can expend a use of your Channel Divinity feature to cause an explosion of strange, aberrant energy in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point within 60 feet of you. Each creature of your choice within this area must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes psychic damage equal to 1d10 plus half your cleric level rounded up. In addition, for each creature that fails their saving throw, roll a d8 and consult the Burst of Madness table. For the next minute, the creature suffers the corresponding effect. On a successful save, a creature takes half damage and doesn’t suffer any effects of the Burst of Madness table. An affected creature can reroll its saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

Burst of Madness

d8 Effect
1 The creature cannot speak or cast spells that have verbal components.
2 The creature continues to take 1d6 psychic damage at the beginning of each of its turns.
3 The creature is disorientated and immediately falls prone. At the end of any turn where it moves 5 feet or more, it falls prone again.
4 The creature cannot take reactions and can either take an action or a bonus action on its turns—not both.
5 The creature has advantage on attack rolls and attack rolls against it have advantage.
6 The creature is deafened and cannot see objects or creatures more than 30 feet away from it.
7 The creature is frightened of you.
8 The creature is charmed by you.

Warped Mind

At 6th level, your mind has been irreversibly warped by eldritch influences. You gain resistance to psychic damage and have advantage on saving throws to end or avoid the charmed and frightened conditions. In addition, creatures cannot read your mind or communicate with you telepathically against your will. When a creature attempts to read your mind, the attempt fails and it suffers psychic damage equal to your cleric level.

Potent Spellcasting

At 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

Aberrant Might

At 17th level, your devotion has garnered you access to powerful eldritch magic. Choose four spells from the warlock spell list, one from each of the following levels: 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th. Each spell you choose is added to your list of domain spells. Like your other domain spells, they are always prepared and count as cleric spells for you.
