Sin Eater Domain (5e Subclass)
SinEater Domain[edit]
The Sineater domain deals with the use of negative energy as a healing instrument. It takes negative energy's ability to consume and focuses it on removing harmful effects to a being instead absorbing life energies. This leaves the body to repair almost instantly as of the damage was never done in the first place and in some cases temporarily alleviate underlining deterrents resulting on momentarily boost in health. Almost any non-evil deity can claim influence over this domain, particularly gods of healing or endurance (such as Ilmater, Mishakal, Apollo, and Diancecht), gods of home and community (such as Hestia, Hathor, and Boldrci), gods of the death or afterlife (Kelemvor, Wee Jas, Hades, The Blood of Vol, Anubis, and Osiris, and gods of goodness and darkness ( Boler and The Dark Cryogen). Gods of life and light or gods of evil have never been known to take this domain.
