Message: <blockquote data-quote="gpetruc" data-source="post: 903565" data-attributes="member: 2255">In the standard D&D clerics tend to ve very less focused, even with the domans: many times they will do always the same things, cast the same spell and the only difference is the shape of the holy simbol and a few spells a day.Now, here is my idea:the aim is to have a divine caster that is more focused than the normal D&D cleric.I was considering to slightly expand the size of the domain spell lists, to have them contain:3 spells of lvl 1 to 32 spells of lvl 4 to 61 spell of lvl 7, 8, 9In this way the domain contains more spells. The other changes would be:- Drop the +1 bonus spell from the domain. But you can cast the spells from your domains as normal spells (not limited to 1/day)- Cutting down the "standard list" to a shorter one with the generic spells. Who cares about the domains if most of the spells are already in the list ?- Add a "ritual" list for some spells that are cast only seldom, and in non-combat situations (raise dead, create greater undead, commune with nature and similar spells) (just for flavor, but see the Spontaneous option later)- Keep the spontaneous healing/inflict castingIn this way the clerics would loose 1 spell/day, and have their (large) list cut down a bit, but they will get some new spells (good ones, also from the Wiz/Sorc list)Another idea is to go even farther and have the spontaneous divine caster that has the following features:- Cast as number of spells per day equal to a cleric, but spontaneously chosen from the spells known.- Knows all spells from his chosen domains, and from a very (very!) small "universal" list. - Know a few additional spells picked up at the other levels (but few. let's say 1/level or 1/2 levels), from a list like the general one for the non-spontaneous cleric. (still, a list that is smaller than the D&D cleric one)- (optionally) can cast as ritual some of the "ritual" spells (still to decide how) (just to give them the option to use Resurrection some times, even if they won't probably take it as a spontaneous spell)In this way he will loose his large list of spells, but gain spontaneous casting from a restricted list that should contain most of the focused spells but very few random ones.What do you think of the idea in general ?(I will work at the specific details later, but I have already some expanded domain spell lists using only PHB spells)</blockquote>
