[QUOTE="Flynn, post: 3439311, member: 1836"] Even though I've posted this to my main discussion thread on my efforts to create a streamlined system for my new home campaign, I figured I would also post the following material for this thread as well. Enjoy! * * * * * After attempting to start a conversation on domains in this streamlined system, I think I'm going to go with using the domains as they are in regards to spell lists, and dropping the granted powers, turning them into feats for those that wish to have those powers. Removing the granted powers that are improvements to caster level or simply feats that the character can select anyway, this essentially creates the following new feats for this streamlined system: Charismatic Blessing [Priest] Prerequisite: Ability to cast divine spells, Charm domain as one of your character's selected domains Benefit: The character can boost his or her Charisma by 4 points once per day. Activating this power is a free action. The Charisma increase lasts 1 minute. Calm Emotions [Priest] Prerequisite: Ability to cast divine spells, Community domain as one of your character's selected domains Benefit: Use calm emotions as a spell-like ability once per day. Gain a +2 competence bonus on Diplomacy checks. Death Touch [Priest] Prerequisite: Ability to cast divine spells, Death domain as one of your character's selected domains Benefit: You may use a death touch once per day. Your death touch is a supernatural ability that produces a death effect. You must succeed on a melee touch attack against a living creature (using the rules for touch spells). When you touch, roll 1d6 per Priest level you possess. If the total at least equals the creature’s current hit points, it dies (no save). Feat of Strength [Priest] Prerequisite: Ability to cast divine spells, Strength domain as one of your character's selected domains Benefit: You can perform a feat of strength as a supernatural ability.

This Benefit is a supernatural ability.
