Life Domain Features
Disciple of Life
Level 3When you cast a spell with a spell slot that restores Hit Points to a creature, add your Wisdom modifier to the amount of Hit Points restored.
Life Domain Spells
Level 3Your connection to this divine domain ensures that you always have certain spells prepared.
Preserve Life
Level 3As an action, you present your Holy Symbol and draw on divine magic to mend wounds. You can restore a number of Hit Points equal to five times your Cleric level. You can distribute these Hit Points among any number of creatures you can see within 30 feet of you. A creature can't regain Hit Points from this feature if it has 0 Hit Points.
Blessed Healer
Level 6The healing spells you cast on others heal you as well. When you cast a spell with a spell slot that restores Hit Points to a creature other than you, you regain Hit Points equal to 2 + the spell's level.
Supreme Healing
Level 17When you would roll one or more dice to restore Hit Points to a creature with a spell, you instead use the highest number possible for each die. For example, instead of restoring 2d6 Hit Points to a creature, you restore 12.
