Death

The Death domain is concerned with the forces that cause death, as well as the negative energy that gives rise to undead creatures. Deities are often patrons of necromancers, death knights, liches, mummy lords, and vampires. Gods of the Death domain also embody murder, pain, disease or poison, and the underworld.

Branch Features

Branch Spells

Once you can cast spells of the corresponding level, you may spend character points equal to twice the spell’s level to have that spell always prepared. Spells bought in this manner don’t count against the number of spells that you can prepare.

If you have a branch spell that doesn’t appear on the Divine Spell List, that spell is nevertheless a divine spell for you.
