Coming Soon - Planar Domains

[*Ceremorph]

We should also remember that it's the DM's prerogative to designate a task as
completely impossible. Some things are just so hard to believe, that no matter
what your bluff check result is, no~one will ever believe it. You could have a
total modifier of +100 bluff, and it wouldn't matter.

Unless you're Minsc, in which case everyone "believes" that Boo is a miniature giant space hamster just like you said. Really, we do. Please don't hurt us Minsc.

Mick, there will be no enforcement, simply an assumption that people are going to at least use some sense when they pick domains. Why is your priest of Bahamut throwing around hellfire or summonning a demon? Why is the cleric of Orcus calling a deva to his aid? It's the same answer you'd give now if your cleric of Kossuth decided to pick the water and cold domans, really.

Well, you can justify anything with fluff... you can say that the Hellfire isn't actually Hellfire, just some other kind of really hot fire. And that heavenly lightning would be a good fit for a Stormlord, even if he's evil. Though it's true that the summon would be quite strange.

Also the ones that don't only work vs a specific alignement and that can't be resisted by either saves or elemental protection seem a lot stronger then the other two, or is that just me?

[*Ceremorph]

Actually the alignment-specific ones are stronger in overall power. Note that Wretched blight can do up to 15d8 and stun vs. good, storm of shards up to 20d6 and blindness vs. evil. Heavenly lightning and Hellfire do the same damage vs. everyone, but do only 3d8 +/5d8 +. Oh, and just fyi, wretched blight and storm of shards are divine damage as well.

For the most part, these spells were developed from ones in the Book of Exalted Deeds and Book of Vile Darkness sourcebooks.

I will not live to see the day that anyone can beat Jiros bluff so come at me Clerics!

[*Plaxy100]

I'm sensing a trickery/Diabolical domain cleric in the future maybe with a mix of bard and warlock for good measure.

[*Nerull]

Domains look great.


Time to open up Arcane Scholar to allow for Divine progression folks! (Even NWNDB lets you pick the cleric progression!)

[*Plaxy100]

hehe funny enough in Vanilla pick up alertness and a divine class and you can use ASOC to progress Divine CLs

MT bard/cleric maybe?

Well known as the "alertness bug" associated with MoTB classes (FS, Shaman) and usually fixed by most PWs....

[*Ceremorph]

So, since this is live now... has anyone taken any of the planar domains? I'd like some feedback on the new abilities and spells, including opinions on the Planar Call summonses.
