War Domain — Sagor från Valoris

Some powers are prayed to at the altar; the War god is prayed to on the march. This domain serves the divine face of courage and conflict — the patron of soldiers, guardians, and every just cause that had to be fought for. Its clerics are not chaplains who watch from the rear. They stand in the line, blade in one hand and blessing in the other, and lead by going first.

The War cleric fights with a soldier's skill and a priest's certainty, and lends both to everyone around them. A guided blow that could not miss, a strike squeezed into a breath that had no room for one, a ward that holds without a moment's thought — these are their prayers, spoken in the language of battle. To the war-band that keeps one, they are proof that the divine has not abandoned the fighting to the fighters alone.

3rd Level

War Domain Spells

Your bond to the domain keeps certain spells always ready. You gain always-prepared spells as you rise: Guiding Bolt, Magic Weapon, Shield of Faith, and Spiritual Weapon at 3rd; Crusader's Mantle and Spirit Guardians at 5th; Fire Shield and Freedom of Movement at 7th; and Hold Monster and Steel Wind Strike at 9th — a war-priest's marching order of spells.

3rd Level

War Priest

Battle is its own liturgy for you. As a Bonus Action, you can make one attack with a weapon or an Unarmed Strike, squeezing an extra blow into the same turn you cast and pray. You can do this a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier, regaining all uses when you finish a Long Rest.

3rd Level

Channel Divinity: Guided Strike

You call down supernatural accuracy at the decisive moment. When you — or a creature within 30 feet — makes an attack roll, you can expend a use of Channel Divinity to grant that roll a +10 bonus. You may do so before or after the roll, but before its effects resolve; guiding another creature's strike this way costs you a Reaction.

6th Level

War God's Blessing

Your battle-magic flows straight from your faith. Whenever you cast Shield of Faith or Spiritual Weapon, you can do so without expending a spell slot by spending a use of Channel Divinity instead. Cast this way, the spell requires no Concentration and lasts 1 minute — ending early only if you cast that spell again, are Incapacitated, or die.

17th Level

Avatar of Battle

You become a fixture of the battlefield that simply will not fall. You gain Resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage — the common coin of every fight now half-spent against you, so you can hold the line long after others would have broken.
