domain question????

[mikebr99]

The Fleetrunner of Ehlonna PrC grants an addition domain at first level, but it specifically states that you have to have domains already to get another...

This is not true at all. Most of the PrC that give prestige domains don't have any requirements related to having domains.

Whoops, you're right. Oh well, my opinion of the WOTC splatbooks just went down another notch. I didn't think that was possible.

You should probably include the FRCS and the Manual of the Planes in that statement, because they also have PrCs that grant extra domains without requiring any previous domains.

Out of curiosity, why is offering Domains to characters with no previous domains bad?

Why should a Prc that grants a new domain have some other domain as a prereq?

Most of the new domains have something to do with the class that the they come with.

Most of the Prc domains have spells that are included in other domains as well.

Nothing is so special about any of them as to require that a specific domain has to be had before someone can get them.

Because it gives rise to threads like this one.

sorry I didn't realize I offended you

the other thread that I started was about a specific question which got me thinking about this question....as far as I see it these were two seperate topics....

One was about warpriest....
The second is about domains.....

Sorry for offending the downunder....

Only reason I can think of is that it's a free power boost that benefits nonclerics more than clerics.

If a cleric gets a third domain, even a prestige domain, he gains the domain power and access to the new domain's spells as bonus spells. He still only gets one bonus domain spell per spell level. Moreover, clerics have such a huge spell list that the domain spells are unlikely to add THAT much diversity to their spell selection.

A druid, paladin, or ranger who gets a domain, OTOH, gets a bonus spell per spell level that the character didn't have before. Moreover, these classes have correspondingly smaller spell lists than the cleric, so the increased spellcasting diversity is comparatively a bigger bonus for them than for the cleric.

A sorcerer or wizard is benefited by gaining access to some divine spells, which can really be a boost if those spells include some healing spells. Moreover, getting a bonus spell known per spell level is a HUGE benefit for the bard and sorcerer, whose main spellcasting restriction is number of spells known.

Don't worry about me too much. I'm just bitter and twisted from too many years online.

Please, if it wasn't for threads like this one do you realize how bored at work I'd be right now?
