Design Note: Life Domain Updates

[1] Here are the main updates in this subclass since its last playtest version:

  • Domain Spells once again includes 1st-level spells, and Prayer of Healing has been replaced by Aid.
  • Disciple of Life is now clearer that its extra Hit Points are based on the spell slot expended.
  • Preserve Life has been redesigned to give more flexibility in how you protect yourself and others. Healing spells are almost all Abjuration spells now, so the revised feature applies to almost all defensive and healing spells on the Divine list.
  • Blessed Healer is now clearer that its extra Hit Points are based on the spell slot expended.
  • Divine Strike has been replaced by Blessed Strikes in the base class.
  • Supreme Healing now applies to Channel Divinity as well to spells.

Life Domain[1] subclass
Life Domain is a subclass of the Cleric class.

The Life Domain focuses on the vibrant positive energy — one of the fundamental forces of the universe — that sustains all life. The Clerics who tap into this domain are masters of healing, using that force of life to cure many hurts.

Existence itself relies on the positive energy associated with this domain, so a Cleric of any religious tradition might choose it. This domain is associated with agricultural deities, sun gods, gods of healing or endurance, and gods of home and community. Religious orders of healing also seek the powers of this domain.

Subclass Features

Domain Spells

3rd Feature
Summary: At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th levels you gain additional spells that you always have prepared. 

Disciple of Life

3rd Feature
Your healing Spells are empowered by life itself. When a spell you cast with a spell slot restores Hit Points to a creature[2], that creature regains additional Hit Points on the turn you cast the Spell. The additional Hit Points equal 2 plus the Spell’s level. 

Preserve Life

3rd Feature
Summary: You may cast Divine Abjuration spells without spending a Spell Slot by expending uses of Channel Divinity equal to the spell slot level. 

Blessed Healer

6th Feature
Summary: When you heal other creatures, you also heal. 

Supreme Healing

17th Feature
Summary: Dice rolls for healing are maximized.
