we have some new domains in the Daemonforge world and we would like to have ENWorld's pool of experts tear these aprart and tell us if it's balanced or not. All questions, comments, and concerns, are appreciated and welcomed.
Hive Domain:
Granted Powers: You can breed with any species, and your children will be born as members of the Rattling Race and will spawn in only one month.
Spells:
1- Venomous Being
2- Carapace Armor
3- Spawn Vermin (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~dnd3e/u...TML/000934.html)
4- Summon Monster IV (Vermin only)
5- Dominate Vermin
6- Royal Jelly
7- Ravenous Horde
8- Creeping Doom
9- Shapechange (Vermin Only)
New Spells: Venomous Being gives you highly poisonous saliva which you can drip on to your weapons. Enemies hit with a weapon treated with this or with a bite attack must save or be affected.
Carapace Armor: Like Barkskin, except with a different cosmetic effect.
Spawn Vermin: Follow the link.
Dominate Vermin: Like Dominate Monster except it can affect as many HD of vermin as your Hit Dice at one time and only affects vermin.

Ravenous Horde: As Destruction except those who fail their save are devoured by invisible and ethereal insects, leaving no trace.
Shapechange: You can only turn in to vermin, though no matter what size they are they have your Hit Dice. This can result in much weaker colossal vermin or much stronger small vermin.
