# D&D 5e Tweaks & Fixes ## Cleric Revised v1.1 By KireExion (a.k.a, u/Kire-Ikasu) ### Preface This document contains homebrew material that has been developed from my own observations as well as common player criticisms and suggested fixes made by various players and dungeon masters alike. However, this material has not been completely play-tested and should be carefully considered before implementing it into your own game. My hopes are to address features and traits that are considered lackluster and poorly balanced by the community and help by offering alternatives so that Players will suffer less frustration and gain more enjoyment out of the game. Use as many or as little of these revisions as you like, the Dungeon Master has final say on whether or not any of this material can be implemented into your game. ## Nature Domain **Source:** Player's Handbook. * **Nature Domain Spells:** *Re-Written* * **Acolyte of Nature:** Unchanged * **Bonus Proficiency:** Unchanged * **Channel Divinity: Charm Animals and Plants:** *Replaced* * **Dampen Elements:** Unchanged * **Divine Strike:** Unchanged * **Master of Nature:** *Re-Written* ### Nature Domain Spells *(Rewritten 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level feature)* | Cleric Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------:| | 1st | *Animal Friendship, Speak with Animals* | | 3rd | *Barkskin, Spike Growth* | | 5th | *Plant Growth, **Erupting Earth*** | | 7th | ***Guardian of Nature**, Grasping Vine* | | 9th | *Insect Plague, Tree Stride* | ### Channel Divinity: Call of the Wild *(Replaces 2nd level "Channel Divinity: Charm Animals and Plants" feature)* You can use your channel divinity to **cast the *Summon Beast* spell** (a spell in "Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything" chapter 3) without requiring material components.

The illusion appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within 30 feet of you. As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the illusion up to 30 feet to a space you can see, but it must remain within 120 feet of you. For the duration, **you can speak through your illusion** or cast spells as though you were in the illusion's space, but you must use your own senses. Additionally, when both you and your illusion are within 5 feet of a creature that can see the illusion, you have advantage on attack rolls against that creature, given how distracting the illusion is to the target. ### Channel Divinity: Cloak of Shadows *(Improved 6th level feature)* Starting at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to vanish. As an action, you become invisible for **1 minute**. You become visible if you attack or cast a spell. ### Divine Strike *(Improved 8th level feature)* At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with poison - a gift from your deity. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 poison **or radiant damage (your choice)** to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8. <div class='footnote'>Kire Exion | Cleric Revisions</div> \pagebreak ## War Domain **Source:** Player's Handbook. * **War Domain Spells:** Unchanged * **Bonus Proficiencies:** Unchanged * **War Priest:** *Improved* * **Channel Divinity: Guided Strike:** Unchanged * **Channel Divinity: War God's Blessing:** Unchanged * **Divine Strike:** Unchanged * **Avatar of Battle:** Unchanged ### War Priest *(Improved 1st level feature)* From 1st level, your god delivers bolts of inspiration to you while you are engaged in battle.

The sphere moves with you, and it lasts for 1 minute or until you are incapacitated or die. Whenever a creature (including you) ends its turn in the sphere, **you can use your reaction** to grant that creature one of these benefits: * You grant it temporary hit points equal to 1d6 plus **half your cleric level**. * You end one effect on it causing it to be charmed or frightened. \columnbreak ## Peace Domain **Source:** Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. * **Peace Domain Spells:** Unchanged * **Bonus Proficiencies:** Unchanged * **Emboldening Bond:** *Nerfed & Reworked* * **Channel Divinity: Balm of Peace:** Unchanged * **Protective Bond:** Unchanged * **Potent Spellcasting:** Unchanged * **Expansive Bond:** Unchanged ### Emboldening Bond *(Reworked and nerfed 1st level feature)* Starting at 1st level, you can forge an empowering bond among people who are at peace with one another.
