Giving it to specific ones made it a bit more thematic. BTW, I meant to give Death clerics the command undead ability, but I forgot - that's why they have death touch as a granted power instead. Sun clerics will have turn undead. I'd like to give turn/command to another couple domains, so they're not exclusive (undead are pretty prevalent), but I can't think of which ones. I'd originally considered Good and Evil, but when I was thinking about the alignment domains a few days ago, I decided to go with turning/banishing outsiders of opposing alignment - a Good cleric, for example, can turn or banish demons; a Law cleric can do the same for slaadi; etc.Hmm. I'll have to think on that.How so? Even with overlap, there simply aren't enough (cleric) spells in the PHB to cover all the spheres equally.Yeah. I think this will be a bit less complicated, in the end.I was thinking on this last night, and I came to a realization: There's really no difference between granted powers and the others, since they're all straight-up abilities now, instead of spells. I was thinking of making the granted power an "always on" effect, like a bonus feat/skill points, or a low-level at-will ability, and all the other abilities would be limited use. This would, of course, move turn/command undead to the first level ability, but it's not a big shift - they'd still gain it at 1st level. Thoughts?</blockquote>
