[QUOTE="LiL KiNG, post: 5935654, member: 83799"] Now I know the topic is completely subjective based on what you want your Cleric to do; healers want the [I]Healing[/I] domain of course and undead fighters are probably looking at [I]Glory[/I] and [I]Sun[/I] among others. For a combat orientated Cleric though, what are some good domains to snag? [I] War[/I], if your deity has it (we're in the FR setting, but any setting's material is allowed), always seems good for the weapon proficiency and free Weapon Focus feat. +1 to hit is always a good thing and as a bonus feat that is so much better than wasting a level feat slot on it. [I] Retribution[/I] seems fun for the 1/day maximized damage on an attack (wish this was powered by Turning!). The large +2 greataxe this cleric is using would be nasty with this ability. I don't recall the name but there is a domain I saw that grants Uncanny Dodge as its power - awesome, but the monster I'm going to give a level or two of Cleric to has Natural Cunning which already prevents it from being flat-footed. Imp. Uncanny Dodge would be nice but I feel like I've seen a vision based feat that prevents flankers from getting an attack bonus, or a reduced bonus or something. I realize he could still lose his Dex bonus to AC from being immobilized or attacked by someone invisible, so Uncanny Dodge is still a decent option at least. So, for your battle themed Clerics, which domains do you prefer? [I should mention casting, beyond self buffs/heals, won't be the focus of this Cleric. So domains that add +caster level are not preferred, looking for domains that will directly benefit him in combat as his Cleric level(s) will only give him one or two 1st level spells a day anyway.] [/QUOTE]
