Corruption Cleric

Corruption Clerics channel divine magic through dark and twisted means, drawing power from the corrupted aspects of the divine. They use this energy to weaken enemies and manipulate life force, offering a sinister approach to their abilities.


Corruption Clerics thrive on malevolent energy, inflicting debilitating curses and siphoning vitality from foes. If you seek a character that perverts sacred magic with malevolent intent, the Corruption Cleric is your ideal choice.

Your presence distorts the minds of those touched by your necrotic power. When you deal necrotic damage to a creature on your turn, it must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC or be charmed by you until the end of your turn.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
