Keyblade Domain (5e Subclass)
Keyblade Domain
Cleric Divine Domain
Keyblade Domain clerics fight for Kingdom Hearts, a positive force that keeps the worlds in balance. Once they have finished their training, they begin to wield Keyblades to keep Kingdom Hearts stable.
- Key Armour
At 1st level, as a reward for completing your training, you are granted a magical suit of armor. It makes your AC equal to 10 + your dexterity modifier + your wisdom modifier. At level 6, your key armour grants you resistance to the two damage types your keyblades deal.
- Keyblades
At 1st level, as a reward for completing your training, you are granted two Keyblades instead of a mace or warhammer. You can choose the type and appearance. They deal 1d8 damage and have the Light property. (damage type varies) They each contain features at the usual cleric levels, and half of your Expanded Spell list. Below is a list of Keyblade types. Unlike the other features, where you gain both , a Keyblade user must choose which 8th level feature to gain: you cannot have both. Keyblades count as holy symbols for you, and they can use your Wisdom modifier instead of strength for attack and damage rolls. You cannot have two keyblades of the same type. You can spend 8 hours transmutating a magic item into a Keychain. A Keychain can be attached to one of your Keyblades to give it the magic property the Keychain had as a magic item. You can spend one minute performing a sacred ritual to give a child the power to wield a Keyblade. It will appear to them if they are in danger, taking the form that fits them best and they will gain a level in the Cleric class in the Keyblade Domain when it does. You may only do this once, so choose wisely, and your Keyblade (the DM) will chose whether to let the ceremony succed. If theceremony fails you may try again, but not on the same child.
