[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 6814999, member: 16814"] Your confidence shows you might have a deeper insight into the rules than I do. If that's not applicable to you, then I think you should stop saying to others. Then clearly you failed to understand my point, as I've followed both rules. Then I have a question for you. Is the Divine Domain class feature, as granted to 1st level Clerics, a "starting proficiency?" Because, if it is not, if the Divine Domain class feature is not a "starting proficiency", then the rule for class features takes over and you get all benefits of that class feature unless specifically noted otherwise under the class feature heading in multiclassing. That one of the mechanics of the class feature Divine Domain may be the granting of proficiencies is irrelevant -- unless the Divine Domain class feature is itself a "starting proficiency" there's absolutely no way the rules for starting proficiencies under multiclassing could possibly apply. It actually appears that you do, if you think that I'm not following all of the rules under multiclassing. You will have to reconcile how Divine Domain is a special case class feature that should be deconstructed and treated piecemeal unlike other class features without any direct instruction to do so under RAW to be able to use your interpretation. The only way the proficiencies under Divine Domain could possibly be considered 'starting proficiencies' is if you treat it specially from all other class features. There is no indication that you should do so. Your choice to do so is contraindicated. [/QUOTE]
