A feat to gain a domain?

[Alzrius]

I thought there was a thread about this, but I can't seem to find it.

I'm basically looking for a way for my druid to grant himself a +4 inherent bonus to an ability score. Unfortunately, druids can't cast miracle, and can't use the old planar binding on an efreet trick (since they don't have that spell). I can't use a ring of three wishes, since he needs at least four uses of wish/miracle to get a +4 bonus, and using UMD and a scroll isn't a viable option either.

The only solution that I can figure out is if he can somehow gain the Luck domain, which has miracle for a 9th-level spell. Taking a PrC isn't an option (he's already 17th level), but since he gains a feat slot next level, is there a feat somewhere that lets him get a domain? WotC products only on this one; third-party stuff has been banned.

Have you considered a +4 Manual of [Ability]?

Ways I know to gain access to Luck Domain:

Take a level in Cleric, KoK Shaman, OA Shaman, or other divine casting class that uses Domains.

Take a level in Wizard with the Domain Wizard AltClass Feature (CompChamp) and Cleric of a deity with Luck as one of his Domains.

Take Arcane Disciple, which adds a domain's spells to your arcane casting class' spell list.

And at 17th level, you can't take enough of any to gain access to Miracle.

Then again, Psionics has a bit of help for you:

Animal Affinity
Egoist 2/PsyWar2
Duration 1 min/lvl

"You forge a psychometabolic affinity with an idealized animal form, therby boost in one of your ability scores (choose either Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis or Cha). The Power grants a +4 enhancement bonus to the abiliyt score you choose..."

If you weren't so advanced, you might have taken:

Psychofeedback
Egoist 5/PsyWar5
Duration 1 rd/lvl

"You can readjust your body to boost one physical ability score at the expense of one or more other scores."

I second to Hypersmurf. If all you want is inherent bonus to your Wis, buy a book. Save money and buy the best one (+5) once and all is the way to go.

The Book sounds like the way to go to me too.

If you really want the luck domain, you could take the Contemplative prestige class if you have (or can reverse engineer) 13 ranks in knowledge religion - it grants a bonus domain, spellcasting progression, and immunity to all diseases including supernatural ones at first level; however, it would cost you wild shape progression. The envy domain grants wish, incidentally, if you're curious.

And as to the ring of three wishes: you could use two rings, if for some reason the tome of understanding isn't available to you.

 

[Alzrius]

Hm, I don't know why I didn't consider a tome to begin with. Thanks to everyone who mentioned that option!

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Argh! I can't believe I forgot the Contemplative!

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Argh! I can't believe I forgot the Contemplative!

Of course, as I recall, the Contemplative can only give access to domains the PC's god actually has access to.

Is there any particular reason you couldn't just buy a scroll of Miracle or Wish and just have another high-level caster cast them on you?

And, by the way, Miracle can't, by the RAW, grant inherent bonuses to ability scores.
