New Combat Domain

[Asinjin]

1 Master's Touch
2 Weapon of the Deity
3 Whirling Blade
4 Dolorous Blow
5 Dancing Blade
6 Vanishing Blade (this is a little weak) Iron Guard?
7 Brilliant Blade
8 ??
9 Lord of Swords?(really a 7th) Iron Body?

Don't like Iron Body for this domain.

Do all of the spells that say Blade include non-blade weapons?

Lord of Swords id swords only.  Vanishing, Brilliant and Whirling I'm not sure of but I think they are OK.  The others are any weapon.

There are plenty of WotC domains that restrict general spells to a certain type, for instance "resist energy" in the Fire domain can only be used for fire resistance. No reason why you can't do the same thing for "Lord of Swords" but restrict it to the deity's favored weapon.

[Hero]

What's the intent of "master's touch"? The cleric already has proficiency in his deity's favored weapon.

[whitesword]

Master's Touch would allow the cleric to use any weapon available to them.

[Hero]

Not sure how useful that would be, how many clerics use a weapon other than their deity's favored weapon?

How about just using divine favor for #1 for some good old-fashioned bonus to attack/damage?

Also for your consideration, Spell Compendium has a ranger spell called Find the Gap which allows 1 attack/round to be made as a touch attack. I suggest swapping #3 for that.

1 Master's Touch
2 Weapon of the Deity
3 Dolorous Blow
4 Greater Magic Weapon
5 Dancing Blade (this is specific for a sword, but I don't see any reason why it couldn't be any weapon)
6 ??
7 Brilliant Blade
8 ??
9 Black Blade of Disaster

3rd level Whirling Blade (this says only slashing, so we have to find a different spell)

[whitesword]

I really don't like black blade of disaster. It has nothing to do with the wielder's skill.

Did you get the Eberon books yet? Remember none of my lists had access to those books. Did you or any one look at the Rokugan book?

[Zunder]

That's why it's a 9th level spell.  Powerful enough not to worry about skill.

True but it goes against the whole spirit of the domain.

I suggested "find the gap" for #3 in the post directly above yours.

3 Find the Gap
4 Greater Magic Weapon
5 Dancing Blade
6 Touch of Admantium

Thoughts?

I agree with Hero.  I do not like Master touch as the first level spell.

And I hate Black Blade of Disaster
