I didn't want to come up with a new Nature domain turning ability, plus improved turning for such creatures was a bit overpowered.-Added/clarified a few designer notes. Speaking of which: One note I didn't add is sort of discussed below. Unlike the warlock's bonus pact spells, the hierophant adds domain spells as bonus spells known, instead of merely adding them to their spell list. The reason for this is that many cleric domain spells are already on the cleric's spell list, and I wanted to make using existing domains as easy as possible. I believe the warlock is a little underpowered in this regard, so I think it's fine. I suggest houseruling the warlock so its pact spells are bonus spells known. If you are disinclined to do this, then the other option would be to make hierophant domain spells work like warlock pact spells, and just strike all domain spells from the hierophant's spell list. This, however, is rather drastic, as it involves removing spells like cure wounds and bless.-I did not add any of TwoSix's suggestions in the post below. They are good suggestions, but I didn't have time to come up with new benedictions, plus I simply forgot to reword Hospitaler <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/blush.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":blush:" title="Blush    :blush:" data-shortname=":blush:" />.
