[QUOTE="RogueJK, post: 123003, member: 170"] I *would* use the Nystul's trick, if anybody in my group could cast it, and had Heighten Spell. :( Sadly, it is a Sor/Wiz only spell, and none of the Arcane casters have it. For domains, my cleric has War, Retribution, Knowledge, Inquisition, and Celerity. That's not the most domains that a cleric can have, but I'm pretty sure it's close. :D In case you were wondering, Claudius is a Cleric5/Divine Disciple5/Inquisitor4/Contemplative1 of Tyr. (I just gained another level, and I'm trying to decide whether to take a level as an Inquisitor or Contemplative.) I've only taken one level in Contemplative, so I can't really comment on the class. It doesn't seem too overpowered to me, since it has a minumum level of 10 to get in (13 ranks in Knowledge: Religion), you only get a d6 for Hit Points, and you have a Wizard's BAB progression. The access to two extra Prestige Domains is really the only powerful part of the class, and that depends on which domains you choose. Some are overly powerful, and others are less powerful than some regular domains. The Celerity domain is fairly powerful, but not nearly as much for a low Dex, heavy armor guy like Claudius. The Initiative bonus is really all that I benefit from, since he rarely, if ever, uses a ranged weapon, and the bonus to speed only applies when wearing light armor. It is nice having a cleric who can haste himself, though. Out of the Prestige Domains, I'd say that Summoning is the most overpowered. It doubles your caster level for all Summon Monster spells. That's just crazy... Divination is pretty nice, too. It gives you +2 to your caster level for all Divination spells. Most other domains only give you +1. Combined with the Knowledge Domain, you could have +3 to your caster level for all Divinations! [/QUOTE]
