Priest of the Sea
At 1st level, you gain a swimming speed equal to your base walking speed. You can also breathe air and water.
Channel Divinity: Torrential Wrath
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to wield the power of the waves with unchecked ferocity. As an action, you present your holy symbol and invoke the name of your deity. A forceful 10-foot-high wave of cold water erupts in a 30ft-radius circle around you. All creatures within the circle must succeed on a Strength saving throw or take xd6 cold and xd6 bludgeoning damage and be pushed back 10 feet and knocked prone. (x equals half your proficiency bonus, rounded up). Creatures take half as much damage and are not pushed and knocked down on a successful saving throw. Creatures of the Huge size and larger are not pushed back and knocked prone. You must not be in the air when you do this.
Marine Whisperer
At 6th level, as an action you may attempt to charm a beast type creature, which has an innate swimming speed, with an Intelligence score less than or equal to your cleric level. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or is charmed by you for 1 hour or until you or an ally damages the creature. While the creature is charmed, it may obey reasonable commands and is friendly to you and creatures you designate. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once).
Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 cold damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
Seaborne
At 17th level, Your swim speed increases by 15 feet. When you use your Torrential Wrath feature, the effect's radius is extended to 60 feet, the wave is 20 feet tall and the distance creatures are pushed back increases to 15 feet. Huge creatures can now be pushed and knocked prone by this feature.
