It is from their gods, not from their "beliefs". You are, says right on the can, "Channeling Divinity." To take the "divinity" out of the equation doesn't make sense to me/my game world. I will concur about the Channeling Divinity seeming/being a bit weak and would suggest that as a Cleric gains levels, their capacity to channel divinity continues to rise. Not necessarily in number of times "each", but a set number of times that various effects could be invoked.So, just as examples, I'm thinking something along these lines...HealingChannel Divinity: Once per day +1 per level (So, 1st level Cleric can CD 2/day).At 1st level: Turn Undead and/or +1 (or additional d4 or d6 or whatever) to any curative spells.At 3rd level: Spontaneously cast an additional Healing/Curative Magic (Cure X Wounds, Disease, Paralysis, "Affliction", etc.) without burning a spell slot.At 5th level: "Death's Door" -bring someone from neg HP to 1 HP automatically without burning a spell or Healer's kit.At 7th level: Caster's constant connection/use of healing energies provides 1hp per level per day of "Regeneration" (on caster only). FireChannel Divinity: Once per day +1 per level.At 1st level: Resist Fire and/or "Turn/Rebuke" Elemental Fire Creatures (so, "Yes" to Salamanders or Efreet, but "No" to Fire Giants or Red Dragons...this is, however a matter of game world/setting fluff. If you think/have Fire Giants come from the Elemental plane of Fire, then go for it...though I'd imagine a 1st level cleric would have a very slim chance of effecting a Fire Giant!)At 3rd level: Burning Hands and/or Resist Fire becomes "Fire Resistance 10' radius."At 5th level: Flaming Sphere and/or Pyrotechnics.At 7th level: Wall of Fire and caster is always "Resistant [or immune?] to Fire".SunChannel Divinity: Once per day +1 per level.At 1st level: Light (20' radius) and/or Turn/Rebuke Undead and "Shadow-based" Creatures.At 3rd level: Resist Fire and/or "sun deity's" bolt (something like d4 per level or something of fire/light/heat/radiant damage).At 5th level: Daylight and Immunity to light/blinding effects.At 7th level: Fireball and Immunity to Fire. Sumpfin like that. And as the cleric gains levels, they have their X times/day to choose the effect they want their Divinity to grant them.But yeah, I think you're on to something/how I would expect to see it work.--SD</blockquote>
