Carousing Domain

Author's Notes:

I have a player who wants to play what he called a "Friar Tuck" cleric. A mix of the classic image and more modern, cartoonish tropes, his brown-robed traveling priest (and brewer) who always prefers holy beer to holy water, and is always up for a little celebration.

We decided that the best bet would be to start with Hanseath, the dwarven deity of war, carousing, and alcohol. His domains are Chaos, Strength, Travel, and War but we started playing with Carousing as a Domain.

Taking his ideas, I tried to fit them in a decent power structure. Something that would be fun and unique, and not overpower the new players who are playing mostly stock classes.

I'll make it prettier as I get it closer to a final version. Right now I'm looking for general ideas about how I've based what he wants on similar spells, and if there are better ways to accomplish what we are trying to do.

I'd really love to put something unique in at level 8, but can't find a good damage increase to work in there.

Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it pursues the course of action you described to the best of its ability. The suggested course of action can continue for the entire duration. If the suggested activity can be completed in a shorter time, the spell ends when the subject finishes what it was asked to do. You can also specify conditions that will trigger a special activity during the duration.

If you or any of your companions damage a creature affected by this spell, the spell ends for that creature.
