[QUOTE="Engilbrand, post: 3199690, member: 44184"] I cleaned the idea up a bit more and posted it on the Wizards boards. It didn't get much thought. Instead of 2 times current bonus spells, I just went with the normal number. A 10th level cleric with a 20 Wisdom would receive 2 bonus 1st level spells and 1 each of 2-5. Part of me also wants to make these spontaneous. The cleric would have access to his own domain of spontaneous spells, plus 2 extra 1st level spontaneous spells chosen from the whole cleric list, 1 2nd level spontaneous spell, etc. Back to domains: Earth turns/rebukes air creatures. That was my bad. I don't agree with the idea that religion is immediately tied to undead. Why should Kord necessarily care about sending undead away? A Cleric of Kord, with those domains, would be about buffing himself and just destroying the Undead with pure, unadulterated power. Some domain abilities might need some major changes to make a bit more sense or be a little stronger. +1 to chaos spells doesn't help much if you only have a chaos spell or 2. The Sun domain, currently focused on turning Undead, would probably be where I would put the ability to Turn Undead. If there's an Undeath domain, that might be a good place for Rebuke Undead. Or it can just go into the Death domain and you get rid of the death touch attack. I might approach the DM for the game that I'm going to play soon with this new idea. It could be cool. If things go well, I'll keep you updated on how it finally looks and plays. [/QUOTE]
