Converting Epic Level Creatures

Sounds reasonable, but do we want casting both as sorc and cleric or just sorc with cleric spells? I think I favor the latter, as Nidhogg doesn't seem quite as much of a caster probably.

Let's pare back to sorc casting with access to cleric spells. And what domains? Darkness, Death, Destruction and Evil?

 

[Shade]

Those sound perfectly appropriate.

 

[freyar]

Absolutely appropriate domains. If I get a chance, I may look at paring back the spell lists tonight or later, don't know.
