Travel Domain (Variant) (5e Subclass)
Travel Domain (Variant)[edit]
Cleric Subclass
For itinerant priests more at home ministering to the needy on the road than in a temple, the divine domain of travel allows them to fulfill both their religious duties and wanderlust while minimizing the hardships encountered by such travelers. It also attracts explorers searching for a metaphysical purpose beyond the physical spaces they discover. Better yet, travel is rarely the sole domain of most gods capable of granting its power, so there are often more sedentary fellow clerics of their order around their pitstops. This is especially true in major cities as such deities are often associated with trade, luxuries, nature, or the sea. Such gods and goddesses tend to focus more on their clerics’ results in their name and service rather than strict dogmatic adherence, especially for those clergy that spend more nights in taverns than days in temples.

You can breathe air and water or hold your breath indefinitely. Your body is adapted to both high altitudes and oceanic depths and you don’t suffer the effects of either extreme cold or extreme heat.

In addition, you have advantage on saving throws against plants that are magically created or manipulated to impede movement, such those created by the entangle spell.
- Divine Traveler
Starting at 17th level, the roads to many places and worlds opens up before you. You can cast dream of the blue veil, plane shift, or teleport without expending a spell slot. You are always on target if possible. Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you complete a long rest. You can also cast these spells using any 7th or higher level spell slots you have. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for all the spells.
