(This concludes #Subcloctober for the year. Each of the subclasses I have described will be converted into full mechanical detail for use in D&D games set in #Auvia and elsewhere. I hope you enjoyed! ❤️)

#Lore24

Clerics who wield the powers of the Panthean Domain manifest a wide variety of divine magicks. Some pray to the Seven and receive a sliver of power for a time. Others invoke whoever feels right in the moment, or even forgo prayer and let the gods speak for Themselves.

But regardless of how a Panthean cleric interacts with the Seven Gods, they all are capable of adapting to any scenario and can call forth magicks associated with any or all of the divine.

Though this Path has many unexpected benefits, there are downsides to wielding this power. If a traveler of the Path of the Unbound Hour should happen to die, their spirit will be lost to a time to the Ethereal Plane, accelerating the time limit to reviving them. But in a way, this also works in their favour, as it slows the decay of their spiritual energy, meaning they linger between life and death longer than most. This can be temporarily tapped into in life.

The influence of the Seven Gods upon all of #Auvia is a curious thing. While it is known that They assign the mantle of 'cleric' to priests at Their discretion, the gods rarely have cause to work together. Which means that when They do, it is cause for a cleric to take their holy duty seriously.

In times of upheaval and uncertainty, agent who are given the role of a divine conduit for all of the Seven - clerics of the Panthean Domain - are known to appear.

Refining this power, those of the Unbound Hour can grant themselves the magic of celerity, or impair it in their foes. While this can make for a frantic, confusing scene of battle, they relish in it; turning themselves into a singularly powerful and dangerous force. But this ability is not purely for combat. Diffusing it among their allies, one who walks this Path can ease the travel time of their group by shifting them in and out of the Ethereal Plane.

Brutes might appear to be the basic hired muscle for a job, but they have a tendency towards tactics and cunning. They have the toughness to shrug off injuries that would severely impair others, and the strength to control the flow of a melee. They have an eye for battle and often know the best ways to destabilise a formation.

Of course, some Brutes just hit things really hard until they're told not to or there's nothing left to break, intimidate, or bury.

Of frontline combatants, there are those who fuel their power by harnessing emotions. This is less so with those who follow the Path of Unbound Hour. These warriors channel the essence of time itself to aid them in their struggles; calling forth unexplored roads of possibility to guide their strikes through the flow of causality. When they first harness this power, they can freeze a single moment, allowing it to reverberate in duplicate.

Bandit leaders, crime bosses, and other folks in charge of unsavoury operations tend not to dirty their own hands in their line of work.

Armies need soldiers to move siege weapons into position, ready them for combat, and defend them from attack.

Adventuring parties are often in need of raw strength: a disciplined fighter who can smash down doors and knock down their foes.

All these people - and more besides - benefit from having a Brute on their side.

With enough practice and concentration, a Cursebearer can draw their inherited hoard within themselves, able to call it forth at a moment’s notice. The control over the mutability also improves, allowing the curse to spread to their will, potentially catching foes off-guard. If they should be unlucky enough to be surprised, or if their force of personality is not as strong as that of the curse, an unlucky foe might find themselves joining the hoard as fuel.

The Druidic Circle of the Skies pays particular respect to the air, weather, and wind. When the order gathers, its people meet at sites with clear views of the sky above, and many arrive in the form of flying creatures of all shapes and sizes, from small birds to dragonlings.

The magicks of a sky druid enable them to breathe freely in any environment, alter the weather around them, speak with and transform into airborne beings, and fly without wings.
