[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 903008, member: 53"] The Death domain is one of those domains that is very good a putting a scare into players, but not one overpowered in a way that makes player characters want to take it. From a PC POV, it's good at taking out opponents that are weak or already weakened. Also, it's all or nothing. The spell list is somewhat average. However, if an NPC has the domain, the PCs could be running scared. If one gets weakened and hit, or the opponent gets a lucky roll at the time, not only is the PC dead, he is [B]DEAD.[/B] No wimpy "Raise Dead" is going to bring them back from the dead, you need to bring out the big guns. For most low-level and medium-level campaigns, this means the character is gone from the game. IMO, this does exactly what it should, it makes death an important part of the game. It also means that clerics of death gods will put the proper fear into PCs that they should. Indeed, a powerful one should probably be the first target for any competent PC group in a large battle.
