Homebrew Cleric domain : Alchohol

[perryflower]

Hii Ya'll

I've started playing my first cleric sometime ago and I love it.
So much that when I saw a priest happily gulping a bottle of wine I immediately started thinking of this domain.
I'm wondering what you guys think, if you would play it and if you think it is balanced.

Divine domain
At 1st level, a cleric gains the Divine Domain
feature. The following domain option is
available to a cleric, in addition to those offered
in the Player’s Handbook and Xanathars guide
to everything: Alcohol.

Alcohol domain
Every adventurer likes to cool down in the pub with a beer
after finishing a quest. Some more than others. The clerics of
Alcohol are the extremist amongst these adventurers. They
do not love a drink, they worship it. you could be a monk who
devoted his life to making a perfect ale, a fey that never stops
partying, that weird guy at the pub who is face-planted into
the bar or the ruler of an utopian city of joy. Your deity is
more likely to be chaotic than lawful and could be Dionysus,
Fenmarel Mestarine, Liiira, Torm, Olidimmara or Ninkasi for
example. Your prayers involve drinking as do your rituals and
your spellcasting... and all other aspects of life. Cheers!

Domain spells
You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the
Alcohol Domain Spells table. See the Divine Domain class

I feel like the spell listed there should be level 5 instead of 4, however other than that this subclass overall seems under powered to me.

There is nothing that I could see that is abusable at all.

[Ogrillian]

There’s some potential to this but many skills are underpowered or outright useless...i’m Still asking for advise on some things so just spitballing

Starting when you choose this domain at 1st level, you can use your action to touch a willing creature other than yourself to give it resistance to poison. This blessing lasts for 1 hour and can be used once per rest.

Not bad but but once per rest could be changed to 3 per rest

Channel divinity : Water to wine
Starting at 2nd level you can use your channel divinity to create booze. As an action you can turn a body of liquid up to 3 gallons into a alcoholic liquid. The liquid looses any harmful, divine or magical properties if it had any. To use this ability you have to be in 30 feet of the body of liquid.

Just...no, first 2nd LVL Cleric changing magic or divine liquid into useless but tasty lager? Even a paladin would shield bash you out of the pub! 😄BUT and a big ONE it has potential outside of cantrip that just changes water into alcohol.

Keep with the the class theme and chaos domain, say can change non-divine or magical liquids into wine(or beer) with random stat bonus for a round or two, maybe throw in a random skill like a monk’s dodge ability for a round. Number you can make per round or stat bonus (maybe both) goes up At higher levels. Gives Alcohol holy water property.

Channel divinity : Divine wake up


Ok ... good one would come in handy in a many different ways charmed to sleep is a pain without racial or class bonus, Maybe change to Party like a God

Thoughened Liver
By 6th level, you are familiar with how alcohol can numb the senses and know how to use it to your advantage. You gain advantage in constitution saving throws if you are under the effect of alcohol

Toughened Liver not bad but underpowered for lvl 6 spells and Good Idea though. Say drinking so many could give AC bonus for a while, an extra 2 or 3 AC for a few rounds is never bad

Divine strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with pure alcohol. 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 poison damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Once again not bad but underpowered maybe an Extra 2d10 would be better then 4d10 at 14 Could choose to ignite the alcohol for extra damage (high alcohol content can be flammable)

Drunken mind
Starting at 17th level the enorms amount of alcohol you have consumed in your life is has affected your mind permantly.You are in a constant state of tipsyness granting you thefollowing effects :

- You are immune to being charmed, frightend and poisoned
- You gain immunity to poison

You have poison twice and poison immunity (and technically disease) should be a class bonus (Alcohol can Kill germs)

Way way way underpowered, worse than a lvl20 monks skill, (and I know I play that class) a great skill for Lvl 6 though. Since you’ve got only one Attack skill (aside from this skill below) why not make use of a body full of alcohol and make a mock Dragon breath (Acid, Flame, Poison good canidates)



Aura of alcohol

4th-level Abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: self (30-foot radius)
Components: V
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
- The stench of alcohol radiates from you in an aura with a 30-foot radius. Each creature that in the aura at the start of its turn must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature spends its action that turn retching and reeling

Please no aside from becoming the love child of Bo Rai Cho and PigPen from Charlie Brown you will attack every ally as well, not good at all for a cleric. How about this

The sweet scent of wine permeates through your pores and radiates from you in an aura with a 30-foot radius. Each Ally in the aura at the +1CON and +2 DEX

Once again just suggestions (was trying to be funny in a couple of them)
