[QUOTE="Phlebas, post: 3207512, member: 23810"] Hmm, thats an interesting call - if you assume all domains are balanced (though i have my doubts...) then having some Domain abilities straight changed to faith points, and then some other Domains that give bonuses, AND then some additional abilities seems to be illogical, and runs the risk of being unbalanced. Not that i don't like the idea, just think you need some limits on it... My pref would be - Each domain ability is turned to a once per day equiv - (means you lose skill bonuses as well) Each Domain has an advanced ability (or several - eg weapon spec and enhanced spec, or a continuous ability (eg +1 caster level) - to access these advanced abilities you need to use one of your extra domain slots and so lose the gaining of extra spells. You gain extra domain slots 1/4 levels there are some ways that you could prevent abuse 1. Levels in champion don't stack with cleric for PrC's 2. Domain abilities from cleric levels don't stack - in fact you HAVE to take the same domains and once per day powers are either just that (or +1 faith point if you're generous) 3. Feats that gain extra domains don't work! Looking at it, i think the major area of abuse is if you multi-class - a raging barbarian with strength and smites and maybe some magic protection ! When are you going to start playing the character? [/QUOTE]
