UNTOLD SUBCLASSES: TRAVEL DOMAIN How to use this material: 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. There are official arcane themed clerics, nature themed clerics, and war themed clerics, who all blur the central cleric class into the design space of an adjacent class (wizard, druid and fighter respectively). We created this divine domain to create a cleric capable of filling a ranger shaped space in party. Travel Domain clerics act as guides and guardians to fellow travellers, protecting established routes whilst exploring, charting and mapping new ones. In addition to the specific subclass features for this new cleric domain, this booklet also contains 2 new spells that a DM may wish to add to their campaign world. These spells are suitable for Travel Domain clerics, but could also provide useful plot hooks if deployed as NPC spells. Balance and Playtesting These rules have been playtested, but not extensively enough to rule out all possible multiclassing exploits. We believe we have tested it sufficiently to demonstrate that the subclass itself is not overpowered or likely to derail or curtail someone’s game. DMs may wish to import this material wholesale into their campaign worlds or to cherry pick elements and ideas. And best of all when you use them you can wave this, semi official, looking text at your rules lawyer to show it wasn’t your fault. We advise using this content to throw NPC curveballs at experienced players or to reward creative players who have a particular desire to play a pilgrim, itinerant priest or social pariah. Notes for Players We hope that you are interested in using this subclass for one of your characters. If that is the case you will need to approach your DM with this content to secure their agreement. Feel free to show your DM this booklet and work with them to devise a way to incorporate this subclass into the game world you play in. Safe Travels! KWHiscox TRAVEL DOMAIN The Travel Domain focuses on the safety and wellbeing of all those undertaking a journey, whether than be a quest, pilgrimage, fleeing from persecution or even just nipping down to the bakers for a daily loaf. The gods of travel promote the mutual aid of travelers in distress, the offering of hospitality and companionship on the road and the safe passage of those voyaging overseas. Most deities linked to endurance, hospitality, knowledge or a specific terrain can claim influence over this domain. This includes such deities as Ilmater, Mielikki, Oghma, Selune, Silvanus and Umberlee. Travel Domain Spells 1st le

FAQs

What is the Travel Domain cleric designed to do in a D&D party?

It focuses on guiding and protecting travelers, acting as guardians of established routes while exploring and mapping new ones. The domain also aims to fill a ranger-shaped space within the party.

How do Travel Domain spells work for a cleric?

When you reach certain cleric levels, you learn specific spells shown on the Travel Domain Spell Table. They are automatically prepared, don’t count against the total number of cleric spells you can prepare, and count as cleric spells even if not on the cleric spell list.

What are the effects of Channel Divinity: Pilgrim’s Preservation?

When you are on a defined road or path, you use Channel Divinity as an action by presenting your holy symbol and asking your god to preserve you from harm. The feature makes you unable to become lost, grants resistance to nonmagical weather and natural environmental damage, and prevents you from being unable to act normally when surprised, with additional benefit related to starting a rest.
