Protection and War.

I truely like the Feats of the War Domain and I like the bonus of level to Saves of the Protection Domain. However my Cleric playing is limited to one Cleric, so I am not really a good judge.

My current character is a skillmonkey cleric of Xan Yae (Complete Divine) with Knowledge and Celerity Domains. Celerity is from Complete Divine and gives +10' move.
 

Magic and Strength.

I like Magic for the Identify spell and ability to use arcane scolls and devices. Strength for the large variety of domain spells and the cool granted power.
Unfortunately it is a rare diety that has these two.

Heh. My girlfriend's playing a deity with just those 2 domains! ;) Seriously, she is. The campaign is about to end and the PCs have ascended to deities; I'll just run them through a couple more sessions to let them enjoy their new powers and tie up all loose ends. She started out as a sorceress, but then became a dragon disciple (T&B version, the campaign started long before 3.5) and now she's basically a draconic melee expert. Hence the combination of Magic and Strength.

To get back on topic, I had a really hard time picking just two domains. My #1 favorite is luck, but then I had war, destruction, travel, magic, sun and strength tied for second place. :lol:
 


Never have PnP'd a Cleric before, but I am prepping one for a new campaign right now. The thing that almost threw me was the RAW restriction to a given dieties domains. The homebrew I'm making this char for only has 4 elven gawds. I am planning on making this char a descendent of a planar creature, Celestial, so Travel was a given. Luckily, the only LG in the pantheon has Travel as a domain, and as this char is LG (reflecting his Celestial heritage) that worked just dandy.

Picked Knowledge as his second domain, mainly because this particular deity did not have Sun in her/his [gotta luv them Elves] portfolio.
 

I checked more than 2 because I play clerics with 1 intent, getting more domains. That and its a balance of what I like and what I want. If I could, Luck twice.
 

Have not played a cleric in a while, but that is going to change soon. My tw short sword wielding female dwarf is a follower of Tyr (renamed Volcon for the Homebrew world). The only difference between Volcon and Tyr is that Volon's avatar is that of a Phoenix at the top of a mountain and that Volcon has fire as one of his domains. So, my dwarf is eventually going to multiclass as a first level cleric, then after that will be gaining levels in prestige paladin......so therefore I voted for Fire and Protection.
 

like some others said, it always depends on the type of character i'm going after, and the campaign. i just came up with a chaotic good dwarf cleric of kord with strength and luck. but if were picking my favorites, i would probably go with animal and luck.
