Nonclass ways of gaining a domain?
« on: June 04, 2010, 03:58:54 AM »
Are there any?
I'm asking because I would like to make a fighter based off luck rerolls, and if I can get luck domain, that's an easy 3/day reroll for anything, the ability to fix low rolls, bonuses to AC...
Also, is there any way short of homebrew/high level magic that a fighter could gain bonus featsnot on the fighter list.

Please answer; this will be helpful.
[spoiler]Fighter: "I can kill a guy in one turn."
Cleric: "I can kill a guy in half a turn."
Wizard: "I can kill a guy before my turn."
Bard: "I can get three idiots to kill guys for me."

On a strange note, would anyone be put out if we had a post about people or events we can spare a thought for, or if its within their creed, a prayer for? Just a random thought, but ... hells I wouldn't have known about either Archangels daughter or Saeomons niece if I didn't happen to be on these threads.
Sounds fine to me.
probably over on "Off-topic".
might want to put a little disclaimer in the first post.

This is the Min/Max board. We should be able to figure out a way to optimize the POWER OF PRAYER(TM) that doesn't involve "Pazuzu, Pazuzu, Pazuzu".

Stealing or Bribing would be a non - class way to get one.  :D

I know of one way to gain the Domain power (which is want you want anyway)...

The Feat - Planar Touchstone (The Catalogues of Enlightenment)

It requires an object from the plane Clockwork Nirvana of Mechanus worth 250 gold and 8 ranks in Knowlege of the Planes. ... it also requires that you reach the plane and go to the Catalogues of Enlightenment and win a debate with a philosopher there ( 25% chance each of Knowledge Arcane/nature/religion/the planes). The philosopher has a +18 to his roll.

This might seem a pain but in reality it should be easy to get a bloated bonus to your check if get help from the party. Getting there will require an arcane caster or gold to buy a hop over there.

However you gain the Domain power of one Cleric Domain you choose and can cast a spell from that domain once a day. Not a bad deal.

** Beat to the punch!

Domain Draughts from MIC too, albeit only temporarily.
I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle.  The book doesn't even exist!

Why would you even do this? It hurts my eyes and looks like you ate your keyboard before suffering an attack of explosive diarrhea.

If using Genesis to hide your phylactry, set it at -300 degrees farenheit.  See how do-gooders fare with a liquid atmosphere.

Thanks!

Say, can you give me more information on the Domain Droughts? I don't own the MiC, so I can't look them up.

Wait, when that drought runs out, can you drink another one to act like you hadn't used it up in the first place?

Sovereign Archetypes are in Dragons of Eberron.
Hood - My first answer to all your build questions; past, present, and future.

Speaking of which:
Don't even need TO for this.  Any decent Hood build, especially one with Celerity, one-rounds [Azathoth, the most powerful greater deity from d20 Cthulu].
Does it bug anyone else that we've reached the point where characters who can obliterate a greater deity in one round are considered "decent?"

Damn it, I don't own DoE.

Can you give me a detailed explanation, cutting out the flavor so that the lawyers can't stop you?

True dragons can select a from a few archetypes, which have effects such as adding a couple of domains (or druid casting) to your spell list, at the price of removing cleric casting or racial hd size or whatever.  There are a lot of them, of which loredrake is the most notorious.

HMMM, intriguing...
Any way you can get a human to count as a dragon, for the pur[ose of obtaining an archetype?
Also, how goes the "Unlimiting fighter bonus feats" project type thing? (Review my OP).

Nope, you have to be a True Dragon to take them. Dragonwrought Kobolds work however.
