Religion is new amongst cats and still undefined. Amongst those who have devoted themselves to the worship of the recently discovered feline deities, many choose to embrace the path of the Ailurokin, the trio of gods called Urbaste, Tom O’Th’ Alley and the Old Striped Cat (amongst their many, many other names...what god only has the one?), believing this is the truest and most natural form of belief for their kind. The Subtle Domain emphasises the use of stealth, speed and wit to evade attacks and protect cats from danger. It is a domain of game playing, teasing, and highlights the mercurial nature of cats; loving one moment, suddenly distant and aloof the next. For the followers of the Ailurokin, this is all part of the game. Enemies are there to be played with, friends to be defended.

Wit of Tom

When you choose this Domain at first level, you gain the ability to cast Tasha’s Hideous Laughter as a 1st Level Spell. You may do this without expending a spell slot, once per visit to the Welcoming Dark. You also gain proficiency in Deception.

Channel Divinity: Blessing of Urbaste

Starting at 2nd level you can use your Channel Divinity to swathe those close to you in the Welcoming Dark, for a few moments. This is represented by casting Invisibility, as a 2nd Level spell, on one player character as a bonus action.

Channel Divinity: Cute as a Kitten

At 6th level, you can persuade your foes that fighting you and your fellows is just…silly. What a waste of everyone’s time! As an action, you present your Holy Symbol and cast Glibness on yourself. It lasts for ten minutes. You must long rest before you can use this ability again.

Divine Strike

At 8th level you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with the combined strength of your allies. Once in each of your turns, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an additional 1d8 bludgeoning damage. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Knowledge of the Old Striped One

At 17th level you receive the blessed insight of the Old Striped One, the undying font of feline wisdom. Any enemy attempting to make a melee attack against you must pass a {DC 12 Wisdom test or be unable to act for the rest of the turn.
