- Channel Divinity - Creative Overflow
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to create minions.
You conduct an hour-long ritual that creates a Small size Ooze with powers relating to your chosen Color. The creature is formed at the end of the ritual, gradually building up with blobs of colored ink and paint. This ooze is friendly to you and your party, although only listens to your commands. It has it's own Initiative, but unless you give it a verbal command it will stay and one spot, defending itself if needed. It's stats are determined by the type of color you chose, and it's AC is equal to 8 + your Proficiency bonus + your wisdom modifier. To calculate it's Hit Points, roll 2d8 + your wisdom modifier. It lasts for 1 Hour, and will dissipate into a colored mist when killed.
