[QUOTE="Nareau, post: 96554, member: 969"] [b]Some different answers[/b] I've never seen a rule on this, but here's my opinion. I would allow a Domain Slot to be filled by a Metamagicked Domain Spell of the correct level. So a 5th level cleric with the Strength and Protection domains could replace Magic Vestment (his 3rd level Strength domain spell) with a Silent Shield Other (his 2nd level Protection domain spell). He could then prepare a normal Bull's Strength (Str 2 domain) or Shield Other (Prot 2 domain) to fill his 2nd level Domain Slot. I don't think this would hurt anything gamewise, but I might be wrong. It would allow someone who doesn't like a particular domain spell to be more flexible (in my example, this cleric will have considerably more options when he gets 4th level spells. Str 4 and Prot 4 domain spells are both Spell Immunity. He could, for example, prepare a Heightened Sanctuary as his 4th level domain spell.) Again, I don't know of any rule that specifically addresses this. I would argue that he gets a +14, simply because of the way it's worded. If it said, "The caster casts Dispel Magic as though he were a caster of 4 levels higher," I would say the +10 cap would remain. I know I've seen the Sage address this, but I can't find a link. Can someone help me out here? I think it's reasonable to say that such a spell would indeed take effect immediately. The monster would appear at the end of your action, and be able to act. However, you would not get your extra partial action. Obviously not everyone will agree with me (or the Sage, or anyone else). But I think that's a fair solution. Ah-HA! Finally, something I can answer with a page reference! PHB, 121 So yeah, it's up to the DM. Remember though, that technically you can't take Free Actions all the time. It has to be while taking another action...which generally means it has to be your turn. However, experience shows that people often are able to cry out when they're being hit with a sword (despite the fact that it's not their turn!) Sorry for all the conjecture and speculation.
