Spaghetti Domain - D&D 5e
Give us this day, our garlic bread.
Change of plans.
My first post of June was supposed to be an introduction to Mythagra, the world of our Maps & Morons live play series. It was a showcase of the characters, factions, and overall lore. It was gonna be awesome.
Then I had a session 0 for a new D&D campaign, and one of my brand new players had the AUDACITY to ask, “Can my cleric patron be the Flying Spaghetti Monster?”
I thought, “What a ridiculous idea.”
I said, “Hell yes.”
Naturally, I had to drop everything to create the Spaghetti Domain.
This one’s for you, Cory, you beautiful bastard.
SPAGHETTI DOMAIN
Followers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, also known as Pastafarians, make it their life’s mission to spread the glutenous gospel of His Noodliness to anyone who will listen, as well as those who won’t. They reject dogma and formalism, opting instead to live free and party hard. Above all else, Pastafarians value friendship, piracy, and delicious pasta.
CANTRIPS
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you learn the following cantrips: Create Bonfire, Minor Illusion, and Sacred Flame.
SPELLS
1st Level - Color Spray (flavored as sauce) and Goodberry (flavored as meatballs)
3rd Level - Blur (flavored as steam) and Enhance Ability
5th Level - Create Food and Water (flavored as an Italian buffet) and Melf’s Minute Meteors (flavored as spicy meatballs)
7th Level - Evard's Black Tentacles (flavored as spaghetti) and Aura of Life
9th Level - Dawn and Legend Lore
HAIL MARINARA
You gain proficiency with Cook’s Utensils. When creatures consume the food you prepare, they gain bonus hit points equal to your proficiency modifier.
FUN-LOVING BUCANEER
You gain proficiency in one of the following skills: Deception, Performance, or Persuasion. You also gain proficiency with finesse weapons, water vehicles, and you look really cool wearing an eyepatch.
CHANNEL DIVINITY: AL DENTE DEFENSE
Grant a boon of carbo-loaded protection to your allies. At 2nd level, you can use a bonus action and all of your movement speed to grant all allies within 10 feet of you an AC bonus equal to twice their own Strength modifier (+2 if their modifier is 0). Each affected ally also receives temporary hit points equal to twice their Constitution modifier (+2 if their modifier is 0). If they have eaten pasta in the last hour, these effects are doubled.
CHANNEL DIVINITY: I’D REALLY RATHER YOU DIDN’T
The Flying Spaghetti Monster can alter reality with His Noodly Appendage, and so too can you call upon this awesome power to change the outcome of dice rolls. At 6th level, you can use a reaction to turn an enemy's successful roll into a failure, or an ally’s unsuccessful roll into a success.
LOST IN THE SAUCE
Starting at 8th level, you may add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cantrip or spell.
AVATAR OF PASTA
Thy noodle come. At 17th level, the range of your Al Dente Defense is increased to 30 feet. In addition, when you use your Channel Divinity, you adopt the true form of the Flying Spaghetti Monster: invisible and undetectable. You become impossible to see and are undetectable by even magical means. This effects lasts for 3 turns or until you take an attack action.
