Cleric Domain for 5e

The god of the Broken Temple lives in the rubble. When a fight starts, broken stone rises out of the floor so the party has cover, and anyone who crosses the line gets a stone retort for their trouble. By 17th level a translucent cathedral is rolling across the battlefield along with the cleric.

Our favorite part happens after the dice are put away. Once one of these clerics joins, the party starts picking ruins to rest in, and since adventures are mostly made of ruins, that little habit pays off a lot.
