Repose Domain

[Asinjin]

For the ability, we need to decide between:

Using HD of destroyed undead to power spells

OR

Life touch to heal or destroy undead.

Thoughts?

I like the second ability.  The first ability channels negative energy and seems more evil (for lack of a better word).

[Asinjin]

Granted power: Once per day, the cleric can deliver a Touch of Repose.  If the cleric touches and undead creature, roll a d6 per cleric level of the caster.  If the total is equal to or greater than the undead's total hit points, it is destroyed.  Alternatively, the cleric can use the touch on a living creature.  The living creature gets healed 1d6 hit points per cleric level.

I like the first one. Channeling evil dark energy for good seems ideal  


if we are going with the second one, please make sure a touch doesn't end up in a negative level.

We have one vote for each.  There's at least three others who can vote.

[Asinjin]

So far:

2 votes for the 'life touch'

1 vote for the 'spell channel'

Need Malchia, Master Po, Valdis, and Hero to vote.

[master po]

I like the 'life touch' ability.

[whitesword]

My vote has disappeared. Life touch.

[Asinjin]

You voted on the wrong thread.  The count is now 3 to 1, yours included.

[Valdis]

After weighing and considering both options, I'm going with the Life Touch ability.  The 'Spell Power' ability would make them too much like a Sorcerer and I don't want to even think about the overpowered-ness of a Sorcerer/Cleric with this domain should that power prevail

[Asinjin]

It is settled then, the life touch power it is.

[Zunder]

It is settled then, the life touch power it is.

How many times a day, and will you loose a level be touching a nasty?

[Asinjin]

Once per day, to match the death touch.  You do not suffer the effects of another creature's touch attack when you make the touch attack (in 99% of instances)

[Asinjin]

With the ability settled, as well as the spells, I will lock this thread unless anyone has any issues by tomorrow.

I was thinking after using the ability last night that it might be cool to add that any healing above and beyond your total HP would be added in as temporary HP.   This will make it a little more powerful and at least closer in power to the death touch ability.  Just wanted to see what everyone thinks and also if I missing something that might make this a bad idea.
