Since this is one of the top google results for this spell I want to chirp in several years late: Don't underestimate this spell. It has the same utility as a wall. Removing multiple enemies from combat for several rounds is very strong. If you can fight half of the enemies in a group now and...

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-N6OnfUuCv0cDFGZVdmMkZZdVk/view Here is the current state of a work-in-progress Cleric domain. I'd call it 80% done. The motivations for the domain are as follows: - Provide for Clerics that are (loosely) thematically inspired by Middle-Eastern religions...

My house rule is simple: Each player has one point of inspiration per session, which they can grant to another player for good RP, clever play, or abiding by a flaw. The DM has veto power, but in general defers to the players. Players have an incentive to see that the party gets bonuses, while...

Ok, based on feedback from you and others, I have updated the class. I'm very curious to hear what people think about the new 6th level ability and a new spell I created for the class. The new ability in particular should convey that this is meant to be a battlefield control character.

I was actually thinking that this was *less* powerful than the Arcana domain's 17th level ability, which grants an 8th and 9th level spell, which are unrestricted as far a school, and are always prepared bonus spells instead of just added to the list of potential spells to be prepared. But I'll...

The Wonder Domain (draft, looking for feedback) This class option serves a few purposes. First and foremost, it gives an option for a Cleric to play the 'face' character of the party, with bonus social skills and an incentive to build one's character with a high charisma. Secondly, it is...

(Question of forum etiquette, if I update the content of the subject of the post, should I update the original post?) After consulting a number of more experienced players, an actual 5th edition 3rd party content author, I've updated the Domain. It still provides a strong incentive to invest in...

Yeah, I see what you're saying. I guess part of the way I'm thinking about this is that I played Pathfinder for years and their variant classes often do completely change the nature of a class and push radically different builds. I'm trying to think of how this is OP though. The biggest abuse I...

As for favored soul, well, I find that class to be an overpowered Mary Sue, and I also just don't like 5th ed Sorcerers even when they're modified to be powerful.

I imagine the bulk of D&D players tend to be real world agnostics or atheists. I certainly am. But a Dungeons and Dragons setting would not include many of us. Divine power is all around, and the priests of the various gods and faiths represent real powers that cannot be denied. I still imagine...

I wasn't talking about system design, I was talking about thematics. Priests, revivalists, evangelists and so on, men of faith, tend to be charismatic people, so the faith caster class should have a Charisma option, because of story reasons. This is homebrew, I'm not responsible for maintaining...

Charisma being a dump stat for clerics doesn't make sense to me thematically. Priests and other holy men tend to lead flocks of followers and be compelling public speakers. Plus my campaign needs a face and I like playing both faces and clerics. I'm working on a homebrew Cleric domain to favor...
