The material here uses the rules in the Player’s Handbook.  \nWHAT’S INSIDE  \nThis document presents four new subclasses:  \n• Cleric (Pestilence Domain)  \n• Druid (Circle of the Titan)  \n• Fighter (Hell Knight)  \n• Sorcerer (Demonic Sorcery)  \nThis document also includes paths of villainy: groups offeats that provide characters a path toward thematic archetypes. The two paths of villainy in this document are the Path of the Death Knight and the Path of the Lich.  \nCONTENT WARNING  \nThis material contains descriptions of body horror, disease, and insects that some readers might find disturbing.  \nTHIS IS PLAYTEST MATERIAL  \nThis article is presented for playtesting and feedback. The options here are experimental and in draft form. They aren’t officially part of the game. Your feedback will help determine whether we adopt it as official.  \nHow to Playtest This UA. We invite you to try out this material in play. To play with this material, you may either incorporate it into your campaign or run one or more special playtest sessions. For such a session, you may create an adventure of your own or use a short adventure from a source like Dragon Delves.  \nPower Level. The character options you read here might be more or less powerful than options in the Player’s Handbook. If a design survives playtesting, we adjust its power to the desirable level before publication. This means an option could be more or less powerful in its final form.  \nFeedback. The best way for you to give us feedback on this material is in the survey we’ll release on D&D Beyond. If we make this material official, it will be refined based on your feedback, and then it will appear in a D&D book.  \nProviding feedback on this document is one way you can help shape the future of D&D!  \nSUBCLASSES  \nThis section presents the following subclasses: Pestilence Domain, Circle of the Titan, Hell Knight, and Demonic Sorcery.  \nPESTILENCE DOMAIN (CLERIC)  Foment Plague and Rot  \nClerics ofthe Pestilence Domain harness supernatural plague and decay to erode their enemies’ vitality. Though common folk often regard pestilence as a force of rampant destruction, Clerics of this domain wield it with surgical precision.  \nThe Pestilence Domain is associated with gods of poison, disease, famine, and rot. These deities use blighted crops, magical outbreaks, and swarms of insects and vermin to motivate or punish mortals in accordance with their doctrines. Their followers include apothecaries, doctors, poisoners, and royal tasters. Other followers might devote themselves toa god of pestilence to spare their communities or loved ones from plague.  \nLEVEL 3: BLIGHT WEAVER You gain the following benefits.  \nInoculated Soul. You have Resistance to Necrotic and Poison damage, and you can’t be infected by magical contagions.  \nRot and Fester. Damage from your Cleric spellsand Cleric features ignores Resistance to Necrotic and Poison damage. Additionally, when you cast a Cleric spell or use a Cleric feature that deals either Necrotic or Poison damage, you can change that damage to the other type.  \nLEVEL 3: PESTILENCE DOMAIN SPELLS  \nYour connection to this divine domain ensures you always have certain spells ready. When you reach a Cleric level specified in the Pestilence Domain Spellstable, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.  \nPESTILENCE DOMAIN SPELLS Cleric Level Prepared Spells  \n3  \nDetect Poison and Disease, Protection from Poison, Ray of Enfeeblement, Ray of Sickness  \n5 Stinking Cloud, Vampiric Touch  \n 7 Blight, Giant Insect   \n9 Contagion, Insect Plague  \nLEVEL 3: PLAGUE BLESSING  \nAs a Magic action, you can present your Holy Symbol and expend a use of Channel Divinity to manifest a 5-foot Emanation of withering plague that surrounds you or one willing creature you touch for 1 minute.
