Tempest Domain Cleric amid storm and lightning, wielding divine wrath

Wield the Storm and the Sea

Gods of the Tempest domain govern storms, sea, and sky. They include gods of lightning and thunder, earthquakes, and certain gods of violence, strength, and courage. In some pantheons, a god of this domain rules over others and is known for swift justice delivered by thunderbolts. Tempest gods include Talos, Umberlee, Kord, Zeboim, the Devourer, Zeus, and Thor.

Level 3: Wrath of the Storm

When a creature within 5 feet of you that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your Reaction to cause the creature to make a Dexterity saving throw.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
