Message: <blockquote data-quote="Omand" data-source="post: 1408635" data-attributes="member: 14344">Hello,So, I have been working on the cosmology of my home-made campaign and have been thinking about portfolios of deities, etc.This has, of course, brought on thoughts about cleric domains to match portfolios.I am a conservative buyer of books compared to many on the boards here, so I am looking for some help/advice/ideas from others.  Plus, I am just throwing out ideas for people to chew over.To the point. Three questions, basically:1)  Which domain concepts do you feel really should have been in the core rules (general)?  Supplemental to this, which domains should have been core that are not (from existing WotC or other products)?2)  Which domains should be consolidated in the upcoming Complete Divine to have a one stop shop for domain hunters like myself?3)  Which existing domains just don't really work, or need to be re-worked?I'll start:1)  I think Darkness, Pain/Suffering, some form of Weather/Storm domain, some form of Skilled/Crafting domain, a good "Death" or Afterlife Domain, some form of Justice domain and some sort of Beauty/Charm type concept shoud have been core.Now OK, most of those have been added in other products, but I hate flipping through three books to find them all.In terms of what should have been core - Artifice from D&DG, Community from BoED (and other sources), Repose from D&DG.2)  I think the three I have just mentioned above should be consolidated in Complete Divine, along with concepts as listed at the top.  I would also like to see some form of Plague/Disease domain, a Pain domain that does not rely on the Liquid Pain idea in BoVD, and one unified Darkness domain, as opposed to the three WotC versions currently in existence and who knows how many others (see FRCS, BoVD, D&DG).3)  Well, I think I have the most problem with the Pain domain in the BoVD.  It just does not work for my campaign, but I do have a God of Pain and Suffering and would love to give him something more appropriate than Destruction or Strength.Ok, lots of rambling there.  Hopefully people can make sense of it all.Cheers  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
