[QUOTE="tuxgeo, post: 6991762, member: 61026"] First crack at an answer: In 5th Edition D&D, the clerical Domains only give five levels of spells, but they give two spells per level. [B]For example:[/B] in the Starter Set, the Life Domain gives: Level 1: Bless, Cure Wounds Level 3: Lesser Restoration, Spiritual Weapon Level 5: Beacon of Hope, Revivify Level 7: Death Ward, Guardian of Faith Level 9: Mass Cure Wounds, Raise Dead [hr][/hr] Any Moon Domain upgraded to 5E should follow the same pattern: 5 levels of two spells each. I would start with the Trickery Domain and see whether any of those spells work for Moon. [B]1st Level: [/B]The 1st-level Trickery spells seem OK: Charm Person and Disguise Self fit in with the Enchantment and Illusion themes that fit well with the Moon. [B]3rd Level:[/B] Only Mirror Image seems fitting for the Moon Domain, as the Moon reflects the Sun's light. (Pass Without Trace isn't a Moonish thing IMHO.) [B]5th Level:[/B] Skip Blink; but Dispel Magic might be a worthy choice. [B]7th Level:[/B] Skip Dimension Door; but Polymorph might be a worthy choice. [B]9th Level:[/B] Skip Dominate Person; but Modify Memory might be a worth choice. [hr][/hr] Moving along from those suggestions, I would of course include Moonbeam in this Domain; but it's a 2nd-level Druid spell. That won't work for this pattern, unless we force-fit it in as a 3rd-level Cleric spell. Yes, it should be in there; but No, it can't be a 2nd-level spell for Clerics of the Moon Domain, because they don't get explicitly 2nd-level Domain spells. Cobbling various ideas together, I get this list: [B]1st Level:[/B] Disguise Self, Faerie Fire [B]3rd Level:[/B] Misty Step, Moonbeam [B]5th Level:[/B] Beacon of Hope, Modify Memory [B]7th Level:[/B] Freedom of Movement, Nondetection [B] 9th Level:[/B] Shapechange, True Polymorph [/QUOTE]
