Realm Domain

Throughout the multiverse, most folk live and die without ever questioning the nature of the world beneath their feet. To them, existence is simple: one place, one sky, one realm. The Prime Material is their hearth and home, and anything beyond it - shimmering heavens, churning elemental seas, or shadowed reflections - is the stuff of tavern tales and children’s stories. Magic and nature behave as they ought, and answers can be found in books or in the wisdom of seasoned wanderers.

Yet, not everyone is content with a single truth.

Some souls feel that familiar itch beneath the skin, a tug at the edges of their perception - whispers that the world they see is only one of many. These restless seekers pull at the chains of their home realm, gnash at the bars of reality, aching for whatever lies beyond the veil. When their curiosity becomes hunger, and that hunger becomes devotion, they turn to the Divine for sanction - and some Divines answer.

Others look outward not with yearning, but with dread. They understand the truth most mortals ignore: the planes are not distant concepts but adjacent territories, overlapping seams stitched together by ancient cosmic forces. These seams - causeways, channels, hidden veins between worlds - are also doorways. And doorways may be opened from either side. To these vigilant guardians, other realms are threats waiting for opportunity, and only a watchful sentinel can hold back the encroaching Weird.

Whether driven by wanderlust or duty, Realm clerics serve as keepers of the crossroads. They walk along planar boundaries, slip between worlds, and channel the influence of distant realms into the here and now. To some they are explorers, to others wardens - but to all they are living proof that the planes are far closer, and far more dangerous, than most dare imagine.

Realm Domain Spells

1st-level Realm Domain feature

The magic bound between the planes is Weird, yet geometric. Strange, yet intuitive - it leads the way to places none would choose to follow, unless they knew where they were going anyway.

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

When you are hit by an attack but before damage is rolled, you can use your reaction to teleport up to 10 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. The attack roll is then re-evaluated against your AC in the new position; if the attacker no longer has line of sight or is out of range, the attack misses. You can use this reaction a number of times per long rest equal to your Wisdom modifier, with a minimum of once.
