Love
Love Clerics give Life Clerics a bad name whether they intend to or not. Their love can take the form of narcissism, sexual desire, or charity towards their fellow man or nature. Their feelings of love can bend the will of heaven to protect what they love. Some can be mindful and contain their feelings and use them righteously, but there is always the temptation to let their passions rage along with their faith.

Subclass Features
Being of Passion
Passion permeates your faith and your beings. You gain Expertise in Deception, Intimidation, or Persuasion checks.
Instinctual Protection
You can pull on the heartstrings of others to help them see your feelings and act on them. You can use your Channel Divinity as a reaction to compel a creature within 5 ft or you or an ally to take a melee or ranged attack for you or another target (A ranged attack must take the form of a line attack such as an arrow or Scorching Ray). On a failed CHA save the target jumps in front of the attack and the attack now hits or misses based on their AC.
Domain Spells
Your connection with the divine ensures you always have certain spells prepared. You know the following spells and they do not count towards the number of spells you can prepare.
Loving Embrace
Your faith and love can mend even physical wounds. You can use your action to target yourself or a creature within 5 ft and they regain hit points equal to your Cleric Level plus your CHA Modifier (Minimum 1).
You can use this feature times per long rest equal to your Proficiency Bonus.
Love Outlasts All
You can never allow love to die, your passion pushes you past normal limits. Whenever you would fall to 0 HPs and have a creature Charmed by you within 30 ft you can use your reaction to end the Charmed condition on them and your life total becomes your Cleric level.
