# Psionic Cleric Domains

Psionics is typically an application of knowledge, discipline, and logic, not faith. Yet the gods of psionics are not silent, and thus its practitioners sometimes find that these alone cannot truly describe the world in which they live, and that only through faith can they truly find meaning and purpose in service to the gods of Mind and Madness.

The gods of psionics fall into two wildly different domains. The first follow the gods of the structure and discipline required for practicing pure mentalism such as Auppensar, Ilsensine, or Xan Yae.  They may act as missionaries for the Hidden Art, enforcers for divine law against the misuse of psionics, or protectors of psionic communities.  They are associated with the Mind Domain.

The second are those who follow the ancient, unfathomable, and forgotten deities of madness and wild psionic power.  Their motives and goals are often as unintelligible as the wills of their deities, yet each is filled with a strong driving sense of divine purpose in everything they do.  These clerics follow the Madness Domain.

## Mind Domain

Gods of psionics—including Auppensar, Xan Yae, Zuoken, Deep Duerra, Ilsensine, and Memnor—preside over the powers of the mind, collective consciousnesses, and feats of mentalism. Though clerics of the gods of psionics are quite rare, whenever such a god takes an active interest in the happenings in the world, a cleric is called to intervene on its behalf.  For example, when a community of psionic beings finds itself beset by a plague, an attack from overwhelming forces, or simply falls from the graces of such a deity, a cleric may be sent to aid the community or bring it back into the light.  Depending on the divine mission a mind-domain cleric represents, a psionic community may alternatively welcome or fear the presence of a cleric in their midst.

## Madness Domain

Ancient, forgotten gods of madness lurk in the distant corners of reality and in the Far Realms, beyond the known boundaries of the planes.  Those who try to decipher the inscrutable motives and desires of these ancient beings sometimes find themselves filled with divine purpose and power, equipped to carry out part of whatever eldritch plans these beings have for the world.  Perhaps a settlement must be warned of a cosmic disaster, a cult which seeks to summon an ancient god's chief rival destroyed, or an ancient artifact from a dragon's horde recovered.  In each case, otherworldly purpose shapes and steers clerics of madness to go into the world to fulfill the destinies set before them.

##### Madness Domain Spell

| Cleric Level | Spells                                 |

This blessing lasts for 1 hour or until you use this feature again.

#### Channel Divinity: Call Forth Madness
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to drive nearby creatures mad. As an action, you present your holy symbol and invoke the unpronounceable and mind-bending name of your deity. Each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you that can hear you must make an Intelligence saving throw or become frightened of you until the start of your next turn and immediately use its reaction to drop whatever it is holding and scream.

#### Otherworldly Purpose
At 6th level, you learn to interpret subtle omens from your deity that forewarn of disaster.  Though many creatures can receive strange omens in the form of visions, dreams, or signs, you are able to find significance in odd coincidences or unlikely arrangements of items that no one else notices.

Whenever you encounter something you consider to be an omen, you can spend an action examining and interpreting it.  If you do so, some time in the next 10 minutes you can choose to gain advantage on an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw that you make. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once).  You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

On a failed save, it is temporarily driven mad and will behave as if it were under the effect of the Confusion spell until the end of its next turn.  A creature can be affected by this ability only once per long rest.
