Ampersand: Domains and Divine Power

[Kaodi]

• The talk about a plane that is pushing the envelope and could become a key component in nearly any D&D campaign.

The Paper Plane?

Hmm, such a simple concept: changing at-wills with feats. Yet it really has been quite a popular approach and, I must say, I quite like it.

At-wills can be quite a defining characteristic so being able to change them can really alter the flavour of the character. I really like that this is how they went with domains as, in my opinion, that's what domains are all about: setting the cleric apart from his peers.

Now I'm hanging to see the arcane powers book so that I can see what sort of at-will changes there will be for bards

So Domains are god-specific versions of the Fighting Style feats. Maybe we'll see Schools as arcane versions?

The Domains of Dread would fall into this category. Dark Sun would not. PlaneScape would... but think they are already incorporating it into 4e.

But I personally don’t think this is the hint… I think he forgot to put on in. (or he is really evil)

Well, he's the boss of D&D, so he could well be evil... But I bet there's no hint in there, either.

hmm ... I bet you got it right. Can't wait to find out!

This is like, the fourth different type of "Modify at-wills" subsystem we've seen.

I really wish WotC would settle on one or two and go that route.

This is the same system used for the Fighting Styles previewed in an earlier article. I see them as an evolution of the "modify at-wills" styles first introduced in the Gladiator article.

I think it's the reverse. Or rather, I don't see these as the evolution.

The ones in the Gladiator/Art of the Kill article, imho, are better. The modifications to the At-Wills are better.

These seem like a devolution compared to the Gladiator ones.

Can't argue with you there.

There were some others in the Acecerak issue, like - iirc - Zombie Veteran or Ghost Touched or somethingsomething.
