[QUOTE="Malin Genie, post: 206643, member: 1058"] [b]Sage answers to questions about Sacred Fist[/b] I can't access the Wizards' boards from work (and I don't think I have a login there anyway) so again please feel free to copy this over there (following which I can delete this post if it's taking up too much room.) I've asked on various message boards and looked on various FAQs, but have never found a clear answer to this question: The Sacred Fist picks a domain 'from his deity's list' at 1st level. (The exact quote is "Upon adopting the Sacred Fist class, the character chooses one domain from his deity's list.") Can this be a prestige domain, or are only 'normal' domains allowed? [b]It has to be a regular (not a prestiege) domain. Skip Williams RPG R&D[/b] 1. If the Sacred Fist has cleric levels (and thus access to domains,) cant the Cleric/Sacred Fist choose the same domain as a cleric *and* as a Sacred Fist? [b]There's no rule against it. [/b] 2a. If the same domain can be chosen twice, then using the example of a Cleric 6/Sacred Fist 10 Does the character get that domain power at 16th level (So with the Strength domain would gain +16 Strength with their Feat of strength, but with the Luck domain would still only get one reroll per day?) OR Does the character get that domain at 6th level *and* at 10th level (So with the Strength domain would get two Feats of strength, one at +6 and one at +10, and with a domain like Luck without level-dependence, would get to use it twice per day?) OR Some other way? 2b. If the same domain can't be chosen twice, what happens to Cleric/Sacred Fists of a deity (such as the Greyhawk hero-deities) who only have two domains? [b]The usual rule when you have two classes that give you the same ability is to stack the class levels, so option 2a is correct. Note that you're really screwing yourself in terms of domain powers and access to domain spells if you go this route. Skip Williams [/b] [/QUOTE]
