[QUOTE="Sword of Spirit, post: 7838428, member: 6677017"] That's a rather tough one. My gut instinct is to say (from that perspective), "Everything on the cleric spell list". But I know that's not exactly what you're going for. It's actually rather difficult to come up with some that [I]every[/I] god should have. Spells that involve life and death (ie, bringing back the dead and making things dead)? That makes sense as a divine prerogative in general...but it really seems like it doesn't fit all of them. Most things will fall into that category. I'll give it a shot though. Going down the [B]cleric [/B]list from highest level to lowest level: [I]*Gate Holy Aura Temple of the Gods *Plane Shift *Etherealness Divine Word *Word of Recall True Seeing Planar Ally Forbiddance Sending *Scrying Planar Binding Holy Weapon Hallow Dispel Evil and Good Banishment Magic Circle Dispel Magic *Clairvoyance Protection from Evil and Good Detect Magic Detect Evil and Good Command Ceremony Bless Thaumaturgy[/I] *I put in some planar travel and remote viewing spells, since I see that as fairly automatic, but you might not want those as automatic divine abilities. Going down the [B]non-cleric[/B] list: [I]Imprisonment Antipathy/Sympathy Demiplane Teleport Contingency Dream Counterspell[/I] I kind of think [I]wish[/I] should probably be on the list...but that means "everything of 8th level or less", so it's not very useful in this sort of examination in actuality.
