Base Class: Cleric
Pain, affliction, the crippled and the broken, be it physical or otherwise the crippled domain encompasses it all.
Much like the gods of life, The Crippled God promotes compassion and kindness and holds great disdain towards the undead. But unlike the gods of life, Catax does not promote the healing of the afflicted opting to at most dulling the pain and his disdain of the undead stems not from them being an affront to nature. He simply hates them for their disregard of their broken state.
A worshipper of Catax is rare and priests and clerics of The Fallen One, even rarer. To worship The Shattered God, is to worship debilitation and while Catax likes to have a more active influence on the world, few would want his attention.

Channel Divinity: Fortitude of the Broken
Starting at 2nd level you can use your channel divinity to carry the pain pain of your allies.
When a creature you can see within 15 feet takes damage, you can choose to the temporarily trancefer damage to you instead. The damage you take in this manner, cannot exceed your maximm hit points and is delivered back when the target is no longer in danger of taking more damage. Any damage that exceeds your maximum hit points is delivered to the target as normal.
Crippling Strength
Starting at 6th level and every 4 levels after, you gain a debilitation randomly chosen from the debilitations table below.
For every debilitation you have on you, you gain a +2 modifier to your strength and a +1 modifier to your costitution. In addition you are now able to cast spare the dying without spending a spell slot, but any creature saved this way gains one of your debilitations for 1d4 days.
| Debilitations | |
|---|---|
| d8 | Effect |
| 1, 8 | Limp. One of your legs are shattered giving you a limp halving your movement. |
| 2, 7 | Withered. Your body is withered giving you a dexterity modifier of -4. |
| 3, 6 | Muting. Your vocal cords are ravaged turning your voice to a raspy whisper, making it almost unheard outside 15ft. |
| 4, 5 | Blindness. You are partially blinded giving you disadvantage on any sight-based perception checks. |
Debilitation can be removed by performing a 4 hour ritual wherin the cleric besieges The Crippled God to remove the debilitation. This however can only be done once every 2d4 days as it will anger Catax whom may also demand the clerics pay a price for the removal of his blessing. Removing a debilitation will also remove the modifiers.
Breaking the Unbroken
Beginning at 8th level you can spend an action to bestow Catax's blessing to any creature you touch directly.
When you heal a creature you can choose to grant them one of your debilitations. Doing so will also give the creature a +3 modifier to either strength or constitution until the debilitation is removed.
Catax's Blessing
Catax blessing deals 2d8 bludgeoning damage and grants the target creature the Limp debilitation.

Miasma of the Crippled Domain
A thin grey miasma flows out from you reaching to a 15 feet radius. Each creature in the radius must make a constitution saving throw against your spell DC. On a failed save the target is afflicted with one of your debilitation and Catax's Blessing. If the creature succeds it is dealt 3d8 necrotic damage instead.
