Bonus Cantrips (level 1)
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain the Primal Savagery cantrip if you don’t already know it. You cast this cantrip as a cleric cantrip.
Primal Weaponry (level 1)
Also at level 1, your deity causes your more primal aspects of your physiology to come to the forefront, enhanced by the divine power. You gain claws or a bite attack that does 1d6 (slashing for claws or piercing for bite). Due to the divine origin of these modifications, you use wisdom for your attack and damage modifier on this attack. You are proficient with these attacks.
Channel Divinity: Primal Roar (level 2)
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to create a primal roar. As an action, you present your holy symbol and invoke the name of your deity. Doing so imbues your lungs and vocal chords with divine energy allowing you to create a primal roar of challenge against an opponent. For the next minute, all attacks by that opponent that are against someone else other than you are made at disadvantage.
Primal Enhancement (level 6)
At 6th level, all attacks with your primal weapons are considered magical for the intent of overcoming resistances. Also, your primal Weaponry is enhanced to do 1d8 damage instead of 1d6. Additionally, you can choose one other trait to sharpen as well. You may choose a second trait at level 14.
