Introduction

This document exists as one of several that is a way to completely overhault the way Dungeons & Dragons 2024 handles its progresssion and power level. The name comes from older editions of Dungeons & Dragons such as 3rd Edition and similar spinoff games, and aims to empower classes and make D&D 2024 a better feeling game to play for Players.

Healers and Warriors

Divine magic, as the name suggests, is the power of the gods, flowing from them into the world. Unchained Clerics are conduits for that power, manifesting it as miraculous effects. The gods don't grant this power to everyone who seeks it, but only to those chosen to fulfill a high calling.

Harnessing divine magic doesn't rely on study or training. An Unchained Cleric might learn formulaic prayers and ancient rites, but the ability to cast Unchained Cleric spells relies on devotion and an intuitive sense of a deity's wishes.

Unchained Clerics combine the helpful magic of healing and inspiring their allies with spells that harm and hinder foes. They can provoke awe and dread, lay curses of plague or poison, and even call down flames from heaven to consume their enemies. For those evildoers who will benefit most from a mace to the head, Unchained Clerics depend on their combat training to let them wade into melee with the power of the gods on their side.

Divine Agents

Not every acolyte or officiant at a temple or shrine is an Unchained Cleric. Some priests are called to a simple life of temple service, carrying out their gods' will through prayer and sacrifice, not by magic and strength of arms. In some cities, priesthood amounts to a political office, viewed as a stepping stone to higher positions of authority and involving no communion with a god at all. True Unchained Clerics are rare in most hierarchies.

When an Unchained Cleric takes up an adventuring life, it is usually because his or her god demands it. Pursuing the goals of the gods often involves braving dangers beyond the walls of civilization, smiting evil or seeking holy relics in ancient tombs. Many Unchained Clerics are also expected to protect their deities' worshipers, which can mean fighting rampaging orcs, negotiating peace between warring nations, or sealing a portal that would allow a demon prince to enter the world.

Most adventuring Unchained Clerics maintain some connection to established temples and orders of their faiths. A temple might ask for an Unchained Cleric's aid, or a high priest might be in a position to demand it.

Servants of the Gods

Almost all the folk in the world who revere a deity live their lives without ever being directly touched by a divine being. As such, they can never know what it feels like to be an Unchained Cleric—someone who is not only a devout worshiper, but who has also been invested with a measure of a deity's power.

The question has long been debated: Does a mortal become an Unchained Cleric as a consequence of deep devotion to one's deity, thereby attracting the god's favor? Or is it the deity who sees the potential in a person and calls that individual into service? Ultimately, perhaps, the answer doesn't matter. However Unchained Clerics come into being, the world needs Unchained Clerics as much as Unchained Clerics and deities need each other.

Serving a Pantheon, Philosophy, or Force

The typical Unchained Cleric is an ordained servant of a particular god and chooses a Divine Domain associated with that deity. The Unchained Cleric's magic flows from the god or the god's sacred realm, and often the Unchained Cleric bears a holy symbol that represents that divinity.

Some Unchained Clerics, especially in a world like Eberron, serve a whole pantheon, rather than a single deity. In certain campaigns, an Unchained Cleric might instead serve a cosmic force, such as life or death, or a philosophy or concept, such as love, peace, or one of the nine alignments. Chapter 1 of the Dungeon Master's Guide explores options like these, in the section "Gods of Your World."

Talk with your DM about the divine options available in your campaign, whether they're gods, pantheons, philosophies, or cosmic forces. Whatever being or thing your Unchained Cleric ends up serving, choose a Divine Domain that is appropriate for it, and if it doesn't have a holy symbol, work with your DM to design one.

The Unchained Cleric's class features often refer to your deity. If you are devoted to a pantheon, cosmic force, or philosophy, your Unchained Cleric features still work for you as written. Think of the references to a god as references to the divine thing you serve that gives you your magic.

Priest

You know one extra cantrip from the Unchained Cleric spell list. In addition, your mystical connection to the divine gives you a bonus to your Intelligence (Arcana) and Intelligence (Religion) checks. The bonus equals your Wisdom modifier (minimum of +1).

Arcana Domain Spells

At 1st level, when you reach an Unchained Cleric level specified in the Arcana Domain Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.

Arcane Initiate

At 1st level, you gain the following benefits.

Arcane Knowledge. You gain proficiency in the Arcana skill if you don't have it already. You also gain Expertise in the Arcana skill.

Cantrips. You learn two Wizard cantrips of your choice. Whenever you gain an Unchained Cleric level, you can replace one of these cantrips with another Wizard cantrip.

Modify Magic

Fortifying Spell. One target of the spell gains a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to 2d8 plus your Unchained Cleric level.

Tenacious Spell. When you cast a spell that forces a creature to make a saving throw, choose one target of the spell you can see. Roll 1d6 and apply the number rolled as a penalty to the target's saving throw.

Dispelling Recovery

At 10th level, immediately after you cast a spell with a spell slot that restores Hit Points to a creature or ends a condition on a creature, you can cast Dispel Magic on the creature as a Bonus Action without expending a spell slot.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

Arcane Mastery

At 15th level, You learn four Unchained Wizard spells, one from each of levels 6, 7, and 8. You thereafter always have those spells prepared. Whenever you gain an Unchained Cleric level, you can replace one of these spells with another Wizard spell of the same level.

When you reach Unchained Cleric level 17, you also learn an Unchained Wizard spell from level 9.

Blood Domain Spells

At 1st level, when you reach an Unchained Cleric level specified in the Blood Domain Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.

Bloodletting Focus

At 1st level, your divine magic draws the blood from magically inflicted wounds, worsening the agony of your foes. When you cast a damage-dealing Unchained Cleric spell of level 1+ whose duration is instantaneous, any creature that takes damage from the spell takes extra necrotic damage equal to 2 plus the spell's level. This has no effect on Undead or Constructs.

Crimson Bond

At 5th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to form a supernatural bond with a creature you can see, or with a creature for which you possess a blood sample. This bond lasts for 1 hour or until your concentration is broken (as if concentrating on a spell).

While the bond is in effect, you can use an action to learn the target's approximate distance and direction from you, as well as its current hit points and any conditions affecting it, as long as the target is within 10 miles of you. Alternatively, you can use your action to attempt to connect with the target's senses. You take 2d6 necrotic damage and the target makes a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a successful save, the bond ends. On a failure, you can choose to either see or hear through the target's senses for a number of minutes equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1 minute). During this time, you are blinded or deafened (respectively) with regard to your own senses. When the connection ends, the bond is lost.

Regardless of the outcome, the target feels a wave of unease pass over it when it makes this save.

Blood Puppet

At 5th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to briefly control a creature's actions—whether that creature is living or dead. As an action, you target a Large or smaller creature or corpse within 60 feet of you that has blood. A creature you target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or become charmed by you. An unconscious creature automatically fails its saving throw, and isn't incapacitated while you control its actions. A corpse targeted by this effect gains a semblance of life that you control. This has no effect on Constructs.

On the affected creature or animated corpse's turn, you can command it (no action required) to move up to half its speed and use its action to do one of the following:

• Interact with an object
• Make a single attack
• Do nothing

Fate Domain Spells

At 1st level, when you reach an Unchained Cleric level specified in the Fate Domain Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.

Ties That Bind

At 1st level, You can temporarily tie your fate to others. As an action, you can touch one object or creature and magically tie a strand of fate from yourself to it for 1 hour or until you use this feature again. An unwilling creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC to resist this effect. While the target is bound to you and on the same plane of existence as you, you can sense the direction to the target's location, and you know the direction of its movement if it is in motion.

In addition, once per turn when you cast a spell using a spell slot to deal damage or restore hit points to the target, roll a d6, and the target receives extra damage or healing, respectively, equal to the number rolled.

You can use this feature's action a number of times equal to your Wisdom Modifier (minimum once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Omens and Portents

At 5th level, You can perceive signs of the future in everyday objects and events, such as flights of birds or ripples made in water by a thrown stone. You can cast the augury spell without expending a spell slot and, when you cast the spell in this way, the spell has no verbal, somatic, or material components. Once you cast the spell in this way, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

Strands of Fate

At 5th level, You can use your Channel Divinity to see and manipulate the strands of fate that weave around other individuals. As a bonus action, you can enter this state for up to 1 minute or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell). For the duration, whenever another creature you can see makes an attack roll or an ability check, you can use a reaction to give the roll advantage or disadvantage (your choice).

Insightful Striking

At 10th level, as a bonus action, you can choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of yourself. Your magic grants you a brief vision of the target's defenses. Until the end of your next turn, you gain one of the following effects of your choice:

• The next time you make an attack roll against the target, roll a d6 and add the number rolled to the total.
• The next time the target must make a saving throw against a spell you cast, the target must roll a d6 and subtract the number rolled from the saving throw.

Forge Domain Spells

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Artisan's Blessing

At 5th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to create simple items.

You conduct an hour-long ritual that crafts a nonmagical item that must include some metal: a simple or martial weapon, a suit of armor, ten pieces of ammunition, a set of tools, or another metal object (see chapter 5, "Equipment," in the Player's Handbook for examples of these items). The creation is completed at the end of the hour, coalescing in an unoccupied space of your choice on a surface within 5 feet of you.

The thing you create can be something that is worth no more than 100 gp. As part of this ritual, you must lay out metal, which can include coins, with a value equal to the creation. The metal irretrievably coalesces and transforms into the creation at the ritual's end, magically forming even nonmetal parts of the creation. The ritual can create a duplicate of a nonmagical item that contains metal, such as a key, if you possess the original during the ritual.

Soul of the Forge

When you would normally roll one or more dice to restore Hit Points to a creature at 0 Hit Points with a spell or Channel Divinity, don’t roll those dice for the healing; instead use the highest number possible for each die.
