[QUOTE="erf_beto, post: 3199172, member: 47533"] that´s a good idea, Engilbrand. My main concern while reading was the high number of spells this Specialist Priest would get at 1st level ... but then again the warmage is kinda like that too, right (i can´t remember...). At 1st level, a 12 Wisdom Cleric would get 6 known spells (2 he can swap every day, and 4 from his Domains), but how many times can he spontaneously cast them? 3 times (like the regular cleric 2+1Domain)? That´s a lot of spells known, and as much spellcasting as the sorcerer (plus 4 granted domain powers). Though the warmage faces a similar experience, I don´t remember him getting 2 'floating' spell slots - but depriving a cleric of the miracleworker/handyman wide spell selection would be too much, i guess... clerics should be versatile, but purpose driven (hence the Domain Spontanous Casting variant). Of the top of my head, i´d limit the number of domains at first level and increase them later, with every N-th level. (on a more personal note, my players are mostly novices, and preparing spells is a bitch... :\ I love sponteanous casting but always feel like divine casters get the short end of it... i was considering a feat that sacrifices a sponteous slot to gain a prepared spell slot to allow more versatile divine casters - wich is why I love your idea so much ;) in fact, an spontaneous wizard plus your idea sounds just like what I wanted for arcane casters too :p ) [/QUOTE]
