[QUOTE="drdevoid, post: 1551067, member: 5356"] Having tested it only on Clerics, I'd say it's somewhat underpowered. Spontaneous variant druids actually get more spells than their core counterparts, so the tradeoff might be worth it for them. If a PC cleric doesn't have Healing as one his domains, it's virtually pointless, IMHO. One's spell selection is severly limited by needing to learn cure spells and it takes quite a while to have a decent number of known spells. Plus the spontaneous cleric has the same number of spells per day, the only difference being that he has no domain slot which is "locked". I'm not sure of a fix for it, I do like the idea and it's not too far off. You could rule it that the Cleric only had to take 1 of the domain spells (his theological bent, if you will) when he gains a new spell level and could choose a different spell with the 2nd known spell. Or that the Domain spell lists are simply spells he could learn, not spells he has to learn (particularly spells he has to learn before any others and cannot later swap out.) I think that would go too far in the other direction, though. [/QUOTE]
