[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5926431, member: 92511"] So that bit I read somewhere around here in this goulash, about "Domain Clerics" (like "Specialist Mages") being an "Advanced Theme" that comes into play at 6th level has been chucked? Or we don't know? While I very much like the flavor of Domain clerics...and see them as possible (either optional modularly or as a houserule) and I agree that reigning in the clerics spell lists (given their weapons and armor and other specialty skills) makes for a LOT of sense, I was rather enjoying the idea that you are a "cleric" until you reached the certain echelons of your temple/church/religion to "specialize" in your deity's domains. That was good/different flavor to me. Now, naturally, it would fall to the players to make choices that made sense for their deity at any level (assuming a common/generic clerical spelllist). The cleric of the god of night is not going to use "Radiant Lance". Though, if they wanted to take it, I would just re-fluff it to be a bolt of pitch black energy twinkling with stars...doing perhaps Divine [Radiant?] and cold damage instead of light and heat. I'll do it anyway, but a note in the DMG or PHB about that sort of thing being "allowed" or "encouraged" wouldn't be a bad note. But I'm getting a bit off track here. Point is, do we know if Domains are in from day one or they come later [6th...or any other level]? --SD [/QUOTE]
