📋 About This Mod

This is an adaptation of the Zeal Domain Cleric subclass, one of the multiple in Plane Shift: Amonkhet, as close to rules as written as I could get it:

Jevanoff and I have implemented these domains for Baldur's Gate 3:

- Ambition Domain: Here

- Solidarity Domain: Here

- Strength Domain: Here

- Zeal Domain: You are here!

Compatibility Framework is supported natively

Merged progression is supported natively

This subclass has progression to level 20. You don't need a mod to increase the level cap, you just won't get the level 13-20 features

Subclass Features:

Zeal Domain Spells:

Level 1: Searing Smite, Thunderous Smite

Level 3: Magic Weapon, Shatter

Level 5: Haste, Fireball

Level 7: Fire Shield (warm shield only), Freedom of Movement

Level 9: Destructive Wave, Flame Strike - Implementation notes:

- Rules as written

- Progression:

- Level 1: Learn Searing Smite & Thunderous Smite

- Level 3: Learn Magic Weapon & Shatter

- Level 5: Learn Haste & Fireball

- Level 7: Learn Fire Shield & Freedom of Movement

- Level 9: Learn Destructive Wave & Flame Strike

Bonus Proficiencies:

1st-level Zeal Domain feature

At 1st level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons & heavy armor. - Implementation notes:

- Rules as written

Priest of Zeal:

1st-level Zeal Domain feature

From 1st level, Hazoret delivers bolts of inspiration to you while you are engaged in battle. When you use the Attack action, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. - Implementation notes:

- Rules as written

- Since this is a copy of War Domain's War Priest feature, I've just copied it from War Domain

- Progression:

- Level 1: Gain Priest of Zeal & Priest of Zeal Charges equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1)

Channel Divinity: Consuming Fervor:

2nd-level Zeal Domain feature

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to channel your zeal into unchecked ferocity.

When you roll fire or thunder damage, you can use your Channel Divinity to deal maximum damage instead of rolling. - Implementation notes:

- Rules as written

- Since this is a slight alteration of Tempest Domain's Destructive Wrath feature, I've just mostly used what was already there
