Message: <blockquote data-quote="Viktyr Gehrig" data-source="post: 5759915" data-attributes="member: 9249">Thank you, Thotas. I had been hoping to catch an example question, and this is a good one to start off.It's times like this that I'm thankful for the weird little voice in the back of my head-- the one that nags me until I check my car keys, the one that won't let me sleep until I've checked the oven for ninja assassins, and the one that doesn't let me answer questions with "well, duh".Because, as it turns out, while it seems inconceivable to me that a Cleric could not apply metamagic feats to her Domain slots it turns out that's almost what the rules say. Key word here is "almost".A quick perusal of the rules in question gives us this, from the <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/cleric#TOC-Domains" target="_blank">PFSRD</a>:A quick check of the printed text itself (mine's from the second printing) shows that the wording is identical, as is the wording from another highly popular-- but utterly irrelevant-- fantasy roleplaying game."Each day, a cleric can prepare one of the spells from her two domains in that slot."It's easy to read that as "each day, a cleric can prepare one of the two spells from her domains in that slot", but that isn't what it says. "One of the spells from her two domains" would also include all of the other spells from her two domains, and the rule itself doesn't say anything about the level of the spell. By RAW, you can prepare lower level Domain spells in those slots, including lower level Domain spells that have been modified by metamagic feats.I love it when the rules actually say what they should say, even though this would have been the perfect opportunity to show off my "this is house rules" editorial voice.</blockquote>
