DOMAINS, POWERS, & SPELLS
1/ Glory Domain/Honor
Granted Powers: You are infused with the glory of the divine, and are a true foe of the undead. In addition, when you channel positive energy to harm undead creatures, the save DC to halve the damage is increased by 2.

Honor Bound (Su): With a touch, you can remind a creature of its duties and responsibilities, granting it a new saving throw against each enchantment (charm) or enchantment (compulsion) effect that currently affects it. If the saving throw is successful, the enchantment effect is ended. This power only affects effects that allow a save. If you fail a save against such an effect, you can use this ability as an immediate action to grant yourself an additional save. Once the target (either you or a touched creature) has made one additional save per effect, this ability has no further effect on that particular enchantment effect. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.

Domain Spells: 1st > Shield of Faith

2/ Protection Domain/Defense
Granted Powers: Your faith is your greatest source of protection, and you can use that faith to defend others. In addition, you receive a +1 resistance bonus on saving throws. This bonus increases by 1 for every 5 levels you possess.

Deflection Aura (Su): Once each day, you can emit a 20-foot aura for a number of rounds equal to your cleric level. Allies within the aura gain a +2 deflection bonus to AC and combat maneuver defense.

Background:

Duvall was born and raised in the small community of Helm’s Hold. His father, Justin, served in the local militia, while his mother, Miriam, served as a low-ranking priestess in the temple.
His father is a trapper by trade, and Duvall worked the nets and lines with his father all his life, plying their livelihood along the banks of the Neverwinter River.
An only child, Duvall was protected by his parents and watched closely, especially out in the wilds. Feeling stifled, Duvall always longed to explore Faerun on his own, to get out from under the “thumbs” of his parents.
At 17, Duvall left home, following his heart and using his wits, in pursuit of his dreams. He followed the river to Neverwinter, spending a year in the city where he worked at odd jobs, making barely enough to eat.
Again he felt smothered and again he took his meager belongings and returned to the river, following its winding course into the depths of Neverwinter Woods. Duvall spent several months combing its outskirts, and eventually ended up in the isolated town of Thundertree where he and his father had spent many a night while working the lines. While wintering there, Duvall became more and more attune to the populace and more and more concerned by the crime and injustice he saw among the good folk of the town. His mother’s prayers and teachings came back to him often and with a clarity that shocked him at times.
Late one evening as he huddled along the side of the river fishing, he began pondering the strange dreams he’d been having. This spiritual tug made him uncomfortable and he didn’t know what to do about it until…the sun broke over the mountains and startled him awake. Not remembering when he had fallen asleep, the startled young man was blinded for several seconds and confused. Suddenly, he thought he heard a voice, his mother’s voice, praying for him, for his safety and well-being. He could even almost picture her kneeling by her bedside, her face lifted toward the ceiling, eyes closed.
A few seconds later his vision cleared, and so did the jumbled thoughts in his mind. Taking the light for a vision, he returned to his small room, packed his belongings, and left town.
It was long walk back to Helm’s Hold, but Duvall managed it, the vision of his praying mother leading him onward. When he arrived back home, he offered himself in service to the church of Helm. He trained his mind and his body and took up the mantle of his church with pride. His life’s mission became the dogma of Helm: “Be vigilant. Stand, wait, and watch carefully.”
