Shield Domain

You have been chosen by a deity of protection. This domain is not one that can be followed except by those predestined for it. Most chosen resent this path and yet they never waiver once they find what it is that they want to protect. Shields are not only your main defense, but your main form of attack. As defense is what your deity focuses on unlike other clerics, Constitution is your spell casting ability.

Domain Spells

 

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