Tempest Cleric abilities

Bonus Proficiencies:  At 1st level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons and heavy armor.

Wrath of the Storm
Also at 1st level, you can thunderously rebuke attackers. When a creature within 5 feet of you that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to cause the creature to make a Dexterity saving throw. The creature takes 2d8 lightning or thunder damage (your choice) on a failed saving throw, and half as much damage on a successful one.

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.

Channel Divinity: Destructive Wrath
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to wield the power of the storm with unchecked ferocity.
When you roll lightning or thunder damage, you can use your Channel Divinity to deal maximum damage, instead of rolling.

Thunderous Strike
At 6th level, when you deal lightning damage to a Large or smaller creature, you can also push it up to 10 feet away from you.

Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 thunder damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.



Storm Sorcerer abilities

Wind Speaker
The arcane magic you command is infused with elemental air. You can speak, read, and write Primordial. Knowing this language allows you to understand and be understood by those who speak its dialects: Aquan, Auran, Ignan, and Terran.

Tempestuous Magic
Starting at 1st level, you can use a bonus action on your turn to cause whirling gusts of elemental air to briefly surround you, immediately before or after you cast a spell of 1st level or higher. Doing so allows you to fly up to 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks.

This guy definitely belongs on the sea. Awesome.

*edit - his AC was too high, I don't know where I got 23, it is 21

his HP were too low, I forgot to add the Hill dwarf +1 per level, so now 101 not 90


let me know if anybody sees anything else wrong, I might have had a couple beers when I made him, to get into character, of course

Much like the above picture, Taulie looks somewhat like a hobo cleric.

His wooden shield is half of a keg barrel, cut long ways, with a lightning bolt on the side. This functions as both his holy symbol and his sled. He drags his plate mail around on the sled, until both the armor and shield are needed, which has been often during the invasion.

His dungeoneer's pack is also a keg, in various states of fill. Everything else hangs off the keg. Most prized to Taulie are his brewers tools and his warhammer, the head of which is a metal beer stein turned on its side, so the handle attaches to the shaft. Taulie is known to drink directly from his warhammer, or his boot, whichever is closer to his face at the time.

this guy and Sam are going to get along famously!
