Elijah's Peace Domain

The balm of peace thrives at the heart of healthy communities, between friendly nations, and in the souls of the kindhearted. The gods of peace inspire people of all sorts to resolve conflict and to stand up against those forces that try to prevent peace from flourishing. See the Peace Deities table for a list of some of the gods associated with this domain.

Clerics of the Peace Domain preside over the signing of treaties, and they are often asked to arbitrate in disputes. These clerics’ blessings draw people together and help them shoulder one another’s burdens, and the clerics’ magic aids those who are driven to fight for the way of peace.

"There is no shortage of battle priests and war clerics and storm clerics and death bringers, but what about one of the biggest tenants of many religions? Peace. Religions often speak abundantly of peace, and I'm pretty sure plenty of ancient ones carried this as well - it's not just a modern concept. The suffering we can all endure throughout our lives can be immense, and the ravages of mortality can be so brutal. It's just a non-stop struggle to be a living thing. The sanctuary of peace is a balancing factor that we so greatly need, and for anyone who has ever experienced a true moment of inner peace, it can make all the hardships seem worth it. Peace is a call to our better selves, our highest natures, our nobler efforts."

Level 3: Emissary of Peace

When you complete a short or long rest, gain the benefits of the spell Sanctuary. You or another creature under the effects of a Sanctuary spell originating from you may add 1d6 to a single saving throw they make per round. Additionally, you or another creature benefitting from a Sanctuary spell originating from you may touch another creature as an action, transferring the effects of the spell to them for the remainder of its duration.

Level 3: Pacify

As a Magic action, you present your Holy Symbol and expend a use of your Channel Divinity to temper violent impulses. Choose a creatures within 30ft of you that you can see. That creature becomes charmed by you. While a creature is charmed in this way, it cannot attack, cast a spell on an enemy, or perform an action that would directly or indirectly deal damage to another creature. This effect lasts 1 minute, or until you or a creature friendly to you performs one of the actions upon it that the effect itself forbids. This effect requires concentration.

Level 6: Serene Grace

The benefits of your Emissary of Peace feature are improved. The range at which Sanctuary effects applied by you can be transferred between creatures is increased to 30ft. Additionally, the die is increased to a d6, and can now also be applied to skill checks, or utilized when the creature regains hit points to add the value rolled to the total healing. A creature may claim one of these benefits per round. A creature upon which you have bestowed Sanctuary can now transfer its effects to another creature as a bonus action, or a reaction to be taken when the benefitted creature sees another creature within range become the target of an attack or spell. 

Level 17: Extended Courtesy

Your Pacify Channel Divinity option is enhanced. You may now target an additional number of valid targets equal to your wisdom modifier (minimum 1 additional target). Additionally, if the effects of the charm are broken on a creature, that creature remains afflicted with doubt as to their intentions. For the remainder of the duration, they have disadvantage on attack rolls.
