I can't see any reason not to take a +one spellcasting level type PrC as soon as possible, unless it has a bad BAB. Its just so...well, boring. In addition, I don't like how few of the domain abilities scale... you get a special at first level and then just keep it. So I'm considering trying to address both of these concerns at once by getting rid of domain spells and instead having a steady progression of domain abilities. Some would still be one/day spell like abilities and thus not very different from the current domain, but at other levels you might get extraordinary or transformative* abilities. It would give a definite incentive for continuing the cleric class as opposed to taking a clerical PrC.*(a catch all for inherent bonuses, size increases and decreases, etc)Things I haven't quite decided yet would be if at each level where you gained an ability you would choose which domain to take it from, or if there would be only 4 or 5 abilities per domain which you would gain at alternate key levels. (one other nice bonus to this would be that you could gain the domain abilities at levels where you don't gain a new level of spell instead of the same one as it is now... would make leveling a cleric more consistently worthwhile IMHO) Any thoughts? anyone already done it?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Kahuna burger</blockquote>
