Summary

• Divine Intervention in Dungeons & Dragons allows a Cleric to ask their Deity for help, but the Dungeon Master ultimately decides the extent of the assistance.
• Clerics can use Divine Intervention to punish or vanquish enemies during combat, save their party from a Total Party Kill, and gain benefits such as a free rest or resurrection.
• Asking for temporary power-ups, divine guidance, or help for NPCs are other creative ways to use Divine Intervention in the game.

There's not much a little prayer can't help you with. One of the most powerful classes in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dungeons & Dragons is the Cleric, and they also have one of the most unique class features: Divine Intervention. You ask your Deity for help, roll a percentile dice — a d100 — and, depending on the roll, your Deity will assist you with whatever trouble yo♛u are having.

The thing is, you can technically ask for anything, but at the same time, you can't. It falls to the Dungeon Master to decide how much your Deity will actually do. So whether you're a Cleric or a DM preparing yourself for the party's Cleric, we have some ideas for you.

Bonus: Consider The God And The DM

As we mentioned, you can technically ask for anyt🗹hing, making this feature almost a Wish spell at first. But, as the feature itself says, the DM will choose how the intervention will work, and your domain and the particular God you follow are things to consider, too. Asking such a benevolent Deity like Illmater to do a killing spree for you will likely not work, but a warmonger God, like Bane, could say yes to that.

And, as stated, the DM makes the final decision. This means that, though you can ask for something specific, as we'll show, a vague sentence can do wonders here. If your intervention works during a boss fight, simply asking for help but not describing the type of help you want has a higher chance of working.

8 ไ Punish Or Vanquish Your Foes

From A High-Level Free Spell To Just A Bunch Of Damage Dice Rolling

If you're playing a DPS Cleric, like a War or Tempest Domain, this is a fitting way to use your intervention. Ask your Deity to kill all enemies near you is a pretty standard way to deal with a fight, or at least hurt them severely, by free-casting a high-level spell like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Meteor Swarm that only affects enemies (though 🤡how the damage will go is for your DM to decide)🔴.

Alternatively, punishi🎃ng a powerful enemy could be a temporary debuff for the fight, such as making them susceptible to a condition they are usually immune against or making them vulnerable to a fitting damage type.

7 ꦆ Save Yourself From An Incomin𝐆g TPK

Your God To The Rescue

If everything is going south, and♔ you no longer see a way out of the situation, praying is fitting. And since saving your party from a Total Party Kill (TPK) can be done in many ways, your DM has all the freedom they need to save you in a way that fits your Deity. Technically, killing all enemie🦹s near you is a way to save you from a TPK.

But gentler Gods can do this by teleporting you away from danger, for example, or even teleporting enemies away from you. This is essenܫtially the Hail Mary of D&D, and it can prevent camp♊aigns from ending too soon.

6 ☂ A Free Rest 🐓

Who Even Sleeps Eight Hours A Day?

You don't need to use Divine Intervention only when fighting. If your characters are in a hurry but can't stop to rest for plot reasons, you could ask your Deity to recover your party's abilities, instantly giving you the effects of a long rest, for instance.

Still, you could also do this in a fight to fully recover yourself and your friends to their full power so you can waste it all against your Boss. This effect could also remove possible 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Exhaustion points, or negative effects such aꦺs curses &md💃ash; though Remove Curse is an option here, too.

5 ⭕ Free Resurrections

Free Of Charge

Resurrection spells are often expensive. What about doing this without any cost? Or better yet, you could ask for multiple🍬 resurrections during a fight if things are that sour on the battlefield.

And despite how powerful multiple resurrections are, it's not a big thing to ask most Deities anyway, and it fits your class. Most DMs would probably be okay with asking a God to bring someone back.

4 Divine Ge𝕴ar

Gods Can Forge Legendary Weapons, Right?

The most problematic thing about this idea is that your DM will need time to consider what equipment would be appropriate for you and your Deity. So, let them know you intend to use it this way, see if they're okay with it, and try it once per long rest until you succeed.

It can be a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:powerful magic weapon, armor, or multiple less powerful items you can combine on yourself or share with your party. It's an excellent way to convert them to your God, too.

3 You're Stuck

Divine Guidance Is Always Helpful

The game stopped because you and your party didn't pick up on the clues going on. Now, everyone is going in circles around the city and has no idea what the next step would be. Or you have many places you're considering visiting, but you're afraid of which one is the best call.

Though a simple prayer and ability check could be enough for your DM, a Deity coul♊d give you more information than you would normally know or help you see what is happening with the plot through a direct conversation.

2 Temporary (Or Perma🌱nent) Power-Ups

Permanent Could Be Too Much, Though

Wouldn't it be helpful if your entire party could fly right now? Sure, the power-up itself shouldn't be your decision, but asking for a temporary power boost or an extra skill that fits your Deity and could be very useful during the current fight is a great idea.

It also lacks the anti-climatic issue of having your God end a major battle, as they'll boost you and your friends and make the fight a bit more balanced while still letting you win the fight yourself.

1 🤡 As🍨k Your God To Help NPCs

Divide And Conquer

Sometimes, we have to make hard choices. You need to choose which place you'll go or who you'll save, fully knowing that you're leaving people in danger for doing so. For example, the city is about to be attacked. Should you stay and protect the King, or should you go and protect the innocent commoners?

Divine Intervention is a cheesy way to get both, though. Whoever you choose to save, you can ask your Deity to look out for the others, ensuring they'll be in capable, divine hands. Your prayers don't need to be for your benefit only.
