Cleric Domains

Clerics of Vidius can choose from the following domains:

Magical Patrons/Divine/Domains/Grave - Primary domain, reflecting his role in the transition from life to death
Magical Patrons/Divine/Domains/Twilight - Secondary domain, reflecting the liminal space between life and death, light and darkness
Magical Patrons/Divine/Domains/Trickery - Secondary domain, reflecting his dual nature and theatrical aspects

Each domain provides different abilities and spells that reflect different aspects of Vidius's portfolio. The Grave domain emphasizes protecting the natural transition from life to death, while Twilight reflects the dual nature between opposing forces, and Trickery reflects the theatrical and performative aspects of his worship.

Note: Vidius's dual nature (death, duality, and theatre) means his clerics have a more nuanced relationship with death than typical death domain clerics. Theatre, performance, and the balance between opposing forces are important aspects of his worship.
