Repose Domain

[Asinjin]

I don't like the death touch as the granted ability with where we are going with this domain.  Zunder, what are some of the anti-undead powers you've seen in other domains?

1st - Hide from Undead
2nd - Gentle Repose
3rd - Speak with Undead
4th - Death Ward
5th ??
6th - Undeath to Death
7th ??
8th ??
9th ??

Thoughts?

- Extra Turning, 
- Extra HD to Turning,
- If you destroy a undead you can absorb it's HD levels and use them to power spells
Just what I can remember off the top of my head.

I agree. We should distinguish it from the Glory ability.

[Asinjin]

I think the using destroyed undead to power spells is appropriate for Falan and different from Glory.  Where is that ability found?

[whitesword]

Sorry, I meant I agree it should not use the Death Touch. You could give them a positive energy touch that destroys/harms undead and heals living creatures as the paladin lay on hands ability.

hahah, I can't remember, i'll have to talk a look around.  I believe it was in Libre Mortis, but I could be wrong.

I believe it was something like this. 
 - If you destroy  undead, you can absorb the HD as spell levels and use them to power any spell you have.  The total HD of the undead destroyed must be equal to or greater then the spell being cast.   
   - I believe it was only good for the next round
   - I don't think you needed the spell prepared.. Just something in your spell book.
   - if you used to to cast something you had memorized, you still retain that spell

Keep looking, need it by next Tuesday.

For the domain power, how about the ability to critically strike undead?

No one likes my Life Touch?

Many cleric's aren't going to be fighter based.

I passed over it at first.  It is good.

Not bad!!

Many cleric's aren't going to be fighter based.

By design, clerics are intended to be melee fighters. They are given armor and shield prof, decent hp, good BAB. Lots of cleric spells augment personal combat abilities (righteous might, divine favor, divine power), often making them better fighters then true fighters. Examples: Koth, Haas, Nathan, Monteron, Kovar. Maybe not Harrick or Claude, but still the majority.

While that might be true.  They mostly don't have good critical strike abilities. That's the domain *wink* of fighters.
