Level Up (A5E) Help me with my Cleric

[lycanthropejeff]

Hello A5e folks.

I just finished my first A5e one-shot/mini-campaign with my group and we are switching DMs for another one-shot/mini-campaign . My build for this game will be a halfling cleric. I want to make this cleric an undertaker/cemetery guardian and healer thus using the balance between life and death as inspiration for RP and motivation etc. Please help me find a deity that fits this juxtaposition. So far I have found Kelemvor as one option but I want a little more link to the life/healing side of things.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Sounds like the Healer archetype would be a good fit. Maybe the Guard background? Or Haunted could be fun.

Are you playing in the Forgotton Realms? If not are you allowed to take any god?

Haunted is a great idea. I was thinking along the lines of outlander, exile... Thanks!

We are not tied to any single setting so anything goes...

In the AG appendix, there's Sharlthiss the Redeemed (and The Executioner if you want to go evil!)

Wow. Somehow I never paged thru the religion section... Nice!

Well from D&D there's Urogalan (halfling deity of Death and Earth), Naralis Analor (elven god of ease of suffering, healing, and death), and the Raven Queen.

From RW myths, Anubis could work so could Maman Brigitte from Haitian Vodou.

Excellent. I will check each of these out and see who fits best with the concept I have in mind. Thanks!

The Raven Queen is one of my all-time favorite 4e gods and I wish she were public domain. She is a very suitable undertaker / cemetery guardian goddess.

I have a supplement coming out in a few months that actually will entail a Undertaker cleric archetype (and will probably contain other player options you'll enjoy) so keep your eyes peeled!

Ooh, neat! I was just thinking that we needed more cleric domains, since the domains are so different from the way they are in o5e.

That sounds fantastic! I shall watch for the release with interest.
