Domain of Creation
A Cleric Subclass by Pointy Hat
 “There is nothing more divine than creation, and clerics of this domain are given what
they consider with the manifestation of the most holy of gifts. Creation clerics are known for
their ability to manifest objects, structures, and even living beings out of thin air. They channel
the divine energy that grants them power and solidify it into tangible form. These clerics
worship deities that are at the center of origin stories, or are known for creating worlds, great
works, and even peoples.
“The mission of a creation cleric varies as much as their creations. Some decide to
continue on the work of their god, raising structures in their image and following the rules that
their god dictated for their creations. Some task themselves with protecting their god’s divine
creations, repairing and preserving their beauty and worth.
“There are however creation clerics that believe that they were given the gift of
creation to shape the world around them as they see fit, bending it and adding to it as if it was
made of clay to twist it into what they believe the world ought to look like. Whether these
clerics leave behind a better or worse version of the world they inhabit depends on the cleric’s
own divine vision.”

Overview:
The Cleric Divine Domain of Creation is a cleric subclass that focuses on a cleric playstyle that
emphasizes set up and upkeep, as well as clever, outside of the box thinking.
Their envoy ability allows them to set up ongoing damage, healing, and protection on the
battlefield, freeing the cleric’s own actions to do as they see fit. They’ve been given abilities that
boost their initiative to make this set up process easier and quick during battle, maximizing the
utility of their costly abilities. This set up process relies heavily on their use of Channel Divinity,
so the creation domain also gives the cleric ways to mitigate this cost. Creation Clerics get a
sort of “ultimate” ability in the summoning of an exalted envoy, an extremely powerful but
short-lived ability that allows you to command a large and powerful construct of your own
creation.
The second pillar of this subclass comes in the shape of the creation cleric’s ability to create
walls. This was designed as an extremely open-ended ability that starts out as versatile but only
grows in power and versatility as the cleric becomes stronger. To fully capitalize on its power the
player must challenge themselves to think on new and creative uses for their walls, using them
in new and unique ways. Walls could be used as cover, as obstacles, as ways to traverse
spaces, or as a way to separate enemies from their allies, as well as an innumerable number of
other uses that the cleric must think of on their own.
Players that enjoy coming up with creative uses for their abilities as well as a busier style of
gameplay will particularly enjoy this subclass for clerics.

1st Level: Blessing of Creation

Starting when you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain the ability to harness the power of
divine creation. When you prepare your spells, you also choose if you wish to be able to create
food, an object, a shield, or a set of tools. As an action, you are able to produce a maximum of
10 pounds of the food or drink of your choice, a non-magical object worth less than 5 gold
pieces, or any simple weapon, shield, or set of tools. Once you use this trait, you can't use it
again until you finish a long rest. The food or object you created using this feature disappears
into thin air at the end of your next long rest.
In addition, you learn the Mending cantrip, which doesn’t count against the number of cleric
cantrips you know. For you, it has a range of 30 feet.

1st Level: Eyes of the Creator

Also at 1st level, your eyes see past the existing world before you and into the possibilities that
the gift of creation opens to you. As an action, you can consume a spell slot to create a 1/2 foot
thick wall in an unoccupied space within 60 feet of you. You decide the appearance of the wall
itself. The length and width of the wall depends on the spell slot level consumed to create it: 10
foot in width or length per spell slot level. For example, if you consume a level 4 spell slot, you
can create a 10 foot tall, 40 foot wide wall, or a 40 foot tall, 10 foot wide wall, or a 20 foot tall, 20
foot wide wall, your choice. The wall appears in any orientation you choose, as a horizontal or
vertical barrier or at an angle. It can be free floating or resting on a solid surface.
The wall's AC is 10 and its HP is 20. It’s immune to poison and psychic damage and has
resistance against slashing damage. Each 10 foot section of the wall has its own HP. If one
section is destroyed, the others stay in place. The wall lasts for 1 hour, after which it disappears
into thin air.
You also gain an additional bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Wisdom modifier.

2nd Level: Channel Divinity - Create Envoy

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to create a living divine construct.

As an action, you create an envoy in an unoccupied space you can see within 30 feet from you.
When you summon the envoy, choose between Healing, Protection, or Harm. You cannot create
a new envoy of the same type as a currently existing envoy.

envoy healing action.

of your choice.

becomes resistant to all damage except necrotic and can use its reaction
to divert attacks made against a friendly creature within 10 feet of it to
itself until the beginning of your next turn.

ENVOY OF HARM

60 ft., one creature. Hit 1d8 radiant damage. The spell’s damage
increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and
17th level (4d8).

If an envoy is forced to make an ability check or saving throw, it uses your ability scores.

In combat, the envoy acts during your turn. It can move on its own, but the only action it takes is
the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another
action. You can only command one envoy using a bonus action, regardless of how many envoys
are active at a time. If a bonus action is not used to command an envoy, their Divine Healing,
Divine Protection, or Divine Harm abilities are still in effect.
If the mending cantrip is cast on an envoy, it regains 2d6 hit points. The envoy disappears if it is
reduced to 0 hit points or after 1 hour. You can dismiss it early as an action.

6th level: Exalted Creation

Your powers embolden and perfect your divine creations. Walls created with the Eyes of the
Creator ability can now be curved to form an arched shape or a perfect circle. They have an AC
of 15 and an HP of 40. In addition, you are able to create one envoy without consuming any
uses of Channel Divinity. Once you’ve created an envoy using this ability you can’t do so again
until finishing a long rest, but you can still spend a use of Channel Divinity to create additional
envoys.

8th level: Potent Spellcasting

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric
cantrip. You also add your wisdom modifier to any healing done with your mending cantrip.

17th level: Exalted Envoy

At 17th level, you can combine the envoys you brought to life to bring forth an even more
powerful creation. As an action, if two of your envoys are within 5 feet of each other, you can
use an additional use of channel divinity to combine them, creating an exalted envoy. The
exalted envoy appears in an unoccupied space 20 feet from the space occupied by the envoys
used in its creation. If there is not enough space for the exalted envoy to appear, the
summoning fails.

Speed 40 ft.

Divine Combination. The exalted envoy gains the Divine Healing, Divine
Protection, and/or the Divine Harm abilities, depending on what envoys
were used in its creation.

ACTIONS
Multiaction. The exalted envoy can use two of its actions on its turn. Its
actions depend on what envoys were used in its creation. It cannot use
the same action twice on the same turn.

Exalted Healing. The exalted envoy of healing restores 2d6 + your

Wisdom Modifier hit points to a creature it can see within 30 feet of it.
The envoy of healing can heal a number of times equal to 1 + your
wisdom. After healing that number of times, the envoy is no longer able
to use the exalted healing action.

Exalted Protection. The exalted envoy assumes a protective stance. The

envoy becomes resistant to all damage and can use its reaction to divert
attacks made against a friendly creature within 20 feet of it to itself until
the beginning of its next turn. If you are within 60 feet of the exalted
envoy, all damage to you is negated and instantly transferred to the
exalted envoy.

Exalted Harm. Ranged Spell Attack: Your spell attack modifier to hit, reach
60 ft., one creature. Hit 4d10 + your Wisdom modifier radiant damage.

If the exalted envoy is forced to make an ability check or saving throw, it uses your ability
scores.
In combat, the envoy acts immediately before or after your turn, your choice. You can command
it telepathically as a free action instead of a bonus action. If the mending cantrip is cast on the
exalted envoy, it regains 2d6 hit points. The envoy disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points or
after a number of turns equal to your proficiency bonus. You can dismiss it early as an action.
Once you’ve summoned an exalted envoy you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.
