Bront said:You see, this is why I think we should ignore domains for the Archivist unless he can find someone who can teach it to him from a domain. Makes things simpler, and I don't think that the archivist is unbalanced by getting some spells 1 level higher, given all the other cleric goodies he's giving up.
What do you mean by ignore domains?
I think the solution that RA mentioned could work, prioritize the lists. Cleric, Druid, Domain, (Paladin, Ranger, etc.).
I don't even see a problem with the Paladin or Ranger only spells that others have a problem with. You still have to find or buy a scroll of it.
The Archivist has the difficulty of having to buy or find scrolls to make him even close to as effective as a normal cleric. The added benefit of being able to use spells from any divine list so long as he has a scroll of it is one of the few benefits he has.
