This subclass is intended for use with the cleric class as presented in the 5e core rules or in conjunction with the options in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything.
A lot of fantasy pantheons pit good gods against evil ones, but we find it more interesting when gods with conflicting world views are placed in opposition within a pantheon without sitting on opposite sides of the good/evil axis. As we’ve previously created our own trade based cleric we here present an opposed domain of charity.
In addition, fed up with cleric players minmaxing for mechanical gain and paying mere lip service to the nature of their domain, we took the opportunity to mechanically incentivize the clerical behaviors appropriate to the domain within the design.
In addition to the specific subclass features for this new cleric domain, this booklet also contains new spells that a DM may wish to add to their campaign world. These spells are suitable for Charity Domain clerics, but could also provide useful plot hooks if deployed as NPC spells.
