Cleric Subclasses

Suggested Published Subclasses

• Grave Domain (Xanathar's Guide to Everything). Enacting divine rites to purge the undead, these clerics are an aegis against the tide of undeath the plagues Kyme. An earth eleman may seek to purify ancient burial grounds so the dead might rest and not corrupt the earthly balance. Or a dwarven priestess seeks divine aid so none might suffer the fate of her family, slain by a malevolent wraith that she hunts still.

• Death Domain (Dungeon Master's Guide). Through fell invocation these clerics seek to master the deathly magics of necromancy and make undead bend to their purpose. A dark elven vowess having witnessed the most ancient of undead in the Depths of Kyme gained divine insight into death's grip upon the world. Or a vampiric priest aspires to deepen his connection to undeath with a profound mastery over the necrotic energy that flows from the Lower Planes.
