Priest Vocations for the Holy Orders of the Stars

Chris Dien, Holy Orders of the Stars rulebook

In previous posts (here, and here, and here), I shared an alternative mechanics for the D&D5 Cleric: Priest as a Cleric archetype, and Vocations as better designed Domains.

Here, I will share my own variation on the Holy Orders of the Stars, using this custom Priest and Vocations variants, basing the choices of Spheres on what is available in the Holy Orders of the Star sourcebook, as well as other D&D books.

Vocations

It is important to keep in mind that these vocations are offered as alternative to D&D3.5's and D&D5's domains in a D&D5 ruleset.

Also, in my campaign, some gods do not have Clerics, but alternative classes. For example, Chislev only has druids (or rangers), Majere only has monks, and Branchala only has bards, and Kiri-Jolith's name has changed (the original name sounds dumb in French...). But this is campaign specific, so feel free to ignore.

Pantheon of Good

  • Branchala: Arts, Charm/Love
  • Habbakuk: Nature, Water
  • Kiri-Jolith: Strength/Feats/Courage, War
  • Majere: Meditation
  • Mishakal: Life/Healing, Cure
  • Paladine: Justice/Nobility, Light, Protection
  • Solinari: -

Pantheon of Balance

  • Chislev: Earth, Nature
  • Gilean: Knowledge
  • Lunitari: -
  • Reorx: Earth, Forge
  • Shinare: Commerce, Travels
  • Sirrion: Charm/Love, Fire
  • Zivilyn: Knowledge, Time

Pantheon of Evil

  • Chemosh: Death, Undeath
  • Hiddukel: Charm/Love, Deception/Illusion
  • Morgion: Illness/Weakness
  • Nuitari: -
  • Sargonnas: Strength/Feats/Courage, War
  • Takhisis: Deception/Illusion, Night/Darkness, Tyranny
  • Zeboim: Thunder/Storms, Water

Conclusion

With the above information, I hope you have now an alternative to D&D5's rather coarse domains, making your Cleric much more specific to their deity than normally possible.
