Nature Domain, Variant (5e Subclass)
Nature Domain, Variant[edit]
Cleric Subclass
Gods of nature are as varied as the natural world itself, from inscrutable gods of the deep forests (such as Silvanus, Obad-Hai, Chislev, Balinor, and Pan) to friendly deities associated with particular springs and groves (such as Eldath). Druids revere nature as a whole and might serve one of these deities, practicing mysterious rites and reciting all-but-forgotten prayers in their own secret tongue. But many of these gods have clerics as well, champions who take a more active role in advancing the interests of a particular nature god. These clerics might hunt the evil monstrosities that despoil the woodlands, bless the harvest of the faithful, or wither the crops of those who anger their gods.
Domain Spells[edit]
1st-level Nature Domain feature
Each domain has a list of spells—its domain spells—that you gain at the cleric levels noted in the domain description. Once you gain a domain spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.
If you have a domain spell that doesn't appear on the cleric spell list, the spell is nonetheless a cleric spell for you.
| Cleric Level | Spells |
|---|---|
| 1st | Animal Friendship, Speak with Animals |
| 3rd | Beast Sense, Spike Growth |
| 5th | Conjure Animals, Speak with Plants |
| 7th | Dominate Beast, Locate Creature |
| 9th | Commune with Nature, Insect Plague |
