Title: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Asinjin on February 23, 2012, 10:14:19 PM
The granted power will be +1 to all opposed rolls, as with the old Competition domain.

Here is the spell list:

1 Remove Fear: Suppresses fear or gives +4 on saves against fear for one subject + one per 4 levels.
2 Zeal: You move through foes to attack the enemy you want.
3 Prayer: Allies +1 bonus on most rolls, enemies -1 penalty.
4 Divine Power: You gain attack bonus, +6 to Str, and 1 hp/level.
5 Righteous Might: Your size increases, and you gain combat bonuses.
6 Zealot Pact[X]: You automatically gain combat bonuses when you attack someone of opposite alignment.
7 Regenerate: Subject's severed limbs grow back, cures 4d8 damage +1/level (max +35).
8 Moment of Prescience: You gain insight bonus on single attack roll, check, or save.
9 Visage of the Deity, Greater: As lesser visage of the deity, but you become half-celestial or half-fiendish.

I think Remove Fear is a necessity, but other than that, they could all change.  Those of you with this domain, thoughts?

Why would "remove fear" be a necessity? I think it belongs as part of the Courage domain and not Competition.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Asinjin on February 23, 2012, 10:35:29 PM
I was thinking Courage domain, sorry.

I don't know any on this list that are necessary.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: whitesword on February 26, 2012, 04:53:23 PM
1 Ram's Might
2 Bear's Endurance
3 Freedom of Movement
4 Divine Power
5 Divine Agility
6 Tenser's Transformation
7 Aura of Vitality
8 Iron Guard
9 Iron Body OR Shapechange.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Asinjin on February 26, 2012, 07:15:17 PM
Not Shapechange for 9th level.  Ironbody and Ironguard next to each other, maybe we can find something better.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: whitesword on February 26, 2012, 07:30:31 PM
That's fine and if we scrap one or both of the Iron spells we can use one for the Weapons domain

My lists are all suggestions
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: whitesword on February 26, 2012, 08:45:15 PM
I forgot to mention: when i used the Tools site all of the Eberon pages came up empty.  I was searching by rulebook.  All the lists I have posted therefore were made without considering those spells.  If you see some that look good feel free to chime in.  I also only gave OA a cursory look.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Valdis on February 27, 2012, 08:55:05 AM
How about Foresight or Greater Visage of the Deity for 9th
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: whitesword on February 27, 2012, 09:22:28 AM
I feel like they are kind of cop out spells and I tried to avoid them. I passed on Foresight because it's not a physical spell and I passed on Vizsage because of the celestial component   
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Valdis on February 27, 2012, 04:09:54 PM
Then what about this

5th: Meteoric Strike
6th: Chasing Perfection
7th: Aura of Vitality
8th: Ironguard
9th: Iron Body
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: whitesword on February 27, 2012, 05:29:15 PM
I think DM wanted to avoid both IG and IB. I like Divine Agility but I don't know anything about Chasing Perfection.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Valdis on February 28, 2012, 09:36:33 AM
5th: Meteoric Strike
6th: Chasing Perfection
7th: Aura of Vitality
8th: Deities Roar (as Lions Roar SpC)
9th: Iron Body

Chasing Perfection: (PHB2) grants +4 to all abilities for 1 minute/level

Lions Roar: (SpC)
Evocation [Sonic]
Level: Cleric 8, Courage 8
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 120 ft.
Area: 120-ft.-radius burst centered
on you
Duration: Instantaneous or 1 minute/level
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial or Will negates (harmless); see text
Spell Resistance: Yes or Yes (harmless); see text

You open your mouth and emit a tremendous roar, a sound like a lion but as loud as a mountain falling.

All enemies within the spell’s area take 1d8 points of sonic damage per two caster levels (maximum 10d8) and are stunned for 1 round. A successful
Fortitude save halves the damage and negates the stunning effect.

In addition, all allies within the spell’s area gain a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and saves against fear effects, plus temporary hit points equal
to 1d8 + caster level (to a maximum of 1d8+20 temporary hit points at caster level 20th).
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Asinjin on February 28, 2012, 01:02:53 PM
1 Ram's Might
2 Bear's Endurance
3 Freedom of Movement
4 Divine Power
5 Divine Agility OR Meteoric Strike
6 Chasing Perfection
7 Aura of Vitality
8 Deity's Roar
9 Iron Body

Any other thoughts?  Perhaps some of the Tyrogatore spells from Magic of Habololy.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Asinjin on February 28, 2012, 01:05:45 PM
3rd level: Kordan Dominance:

Enchantment
Level: Clr 3
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Touch
Target: One creature
Duration: 1 round / level
Saving Throw: Willpower (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes

The target of this spell may combine his fighter, ranger, paladin, monk, and berserker levels for purposes of determining his unarmed damage and armor class if he has any levels in monk.  The target’s base attack bonus is equal to the total of his monk, fighter, ranger, paladin, berserker, and cleric levels.

Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Asinjin on February 28, 2012, 01:18:47 PM
Tyrogatore’s Sanctity of Unarmed Combat
Enchantment
Level: Clr 3
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft. / 2 levels)
Target: 1 creature
Duration: 1 round / level (see text)
Saving Throw: See below
Spell Resistance: Yes

Developed by the faith of Tyrogatore to promote what they consider the purest form of combat, this blessing temporarily inhibits an opponent’s ability to use manufactured weapons. If the target has a melee or ranged weapon drawn when this spell is cast, he must make an opposed disarm check against the caster or drop his weapon. This disarm attempt does not provoke an attack of opportunity, and the caster uses his caster level in place of his base attack bonus, his wisdom in place of strength, no size modifier, and no modifier for weapon type. The target uses whatever modifiers normally apply for an opposed disarm check. A separate opposed roll is made for each weapon held. If the maintains possession of at least one weapon held, the spell ends.
   Each time the target attempts to pick up a dropped weapon or draw a new one, he must make a Will save. Failure means he cannot do so, but is otherwise unhindered and is free to attack with natural or unarmed attacks or take any other action. Success on this Will save ends the spell.
   This blessing has no effect on natural weapons or objects that are not being used offensively to physically attack (such as spell components, wands, shields, etc.). If the subject attempts to use an object not initially affected by the spell as a weapon (such as a shield bash or an improvised weapon), that object is immediately subject to the disarm attempt (if already in hand) or the Will save (if the target is attempting to draw or pick up) described above.
   For the duration of this blessing, the caster cannot wield a manufactured weapon in combat. He automatically drops any object intended to be used in such a manner.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: whitesword on February 28, 2012, 03:17:29 PM
It sounds like Chasing Perfection and Aura of Vitality do the same thing? May need to check that.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Valdis on February 29, 2012, 08:38:54 AM

I think they both work for the domain.  You can think of it as the Aura is an evolution of the Chasing prefection
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Asinjin on March 07, 2012, 01:07:51 PM
1 Ram's Might
2 Bear's Endurance
3 Tyrogatore's Sanctity of Unarmed Combat
4 Divine Power
5 Divine Agility
6 Chasing Perfection
7 Aura of Vitality
8 Deity's Roar
9 Iron Body

The theme of this domain is clearly self enhancement for combat; with one attack spell and one area of effect spell.

Thoughts?
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Valdis on March 07, 2012, 01:21:31 PM
Sounds about right.  Not many cooperative martial arts/unarmed fighting styles.  It would stand to reason that the deities who have this domain would be in favor of a domain that boosts their clerics physical prowess.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: whitesword on March 07, 2012, 06:14:06 PM
I would like to lose Divine Power in favor of Freedom of Movement. I think it is the essential defensive spell for this Domain.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Windblade on March 07, 2012, 06:48:29 PM
I don't care either way about freedom of movement being there but I think divine power is one of the premier cleric combat spells and should absolutely be in there.

Part of my concern is we have so many ability enhancing spells that nothing will stack.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Asinjin on March 07, 2012, 07:20:15 PM
1 Ram's Might (We need a replacement for this, it essentially provides the Imp Un Strike feat, which most clerics with this will already have)
2 Bear's Endurance (+4 enhancement bonus to Con)
3 Tyrogatore's Sanctity of Unarmed Combat (prevent weapon attacks)
4 Divine Power (BAB = cleric level; 1 temp hp per cleric level; +6 enhancement bonus to STR)
5 Divine Agility (Reflex save = rogue level; +4 enhancement to Dex; Spring Attack)
6 Chasing Perfection (+4 enhancement bonus to all ability scores)
7 Aura of Vitality (+4 enhancement to Str, Dex, Con)
8 Deity's Roar (stunning roar)
9 Iron Body (lots, but relevant +6 enhancement Str, -6 Dex)

I think we should replace chasing perfection with a spell that doesn't confer enhancement bonuses.

Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Valdis on March 07, 2012, 07:31:05 PM
I would consider keeping Chasing Perfection and swapping out Aura of Vitality.  Here's why, Chasing Perfection not only gives you boosts to your physical abilities, it also boosts your mental abilities, helping to raise the DC of your spells, raise your own saves, etc..

The Aura only boosts your physical abilities.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Asinjin on March 07, 2012, 07:39:27 PM
I am fine with replacing one or the other, lets determine it by which level replacement spell we find that fits better.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Windblade on March 07, 2012, 07:41:44 PM
I would replace 1, 6, 7.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Valdis on March 07, 2012, 07:50:38 PM
What about something like Sakkratar's Triple Strike  http://www.imarvintpa.com/dndlive/spells.php?ID=6350 (http://www.imarvintpa.com/dndlive/spells.php?ID=6350), but for unarmed strikes and/or natural weapons
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: whitesword on March 07, 2012, 08:06:47 PM
 
I would replace 1, 6, 7.
Why would you change 6 and 7?

The argument for keeping both of them is that they stack.  One is a morale bonus the other enhancement.  If we are keeping one I would go with Aura of Vitality.  It has the Morale bonus so it stacks with most of the other spells and applies to the physical abilities only, which is more appropriate for this domain.  We could then put Freedom of Movement back for Divine Power and Tenser's Transformation for Chasing Perfection.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Asinjin on March 07, 2012, 08:19:12 PM
I don't think Tenser's is a good fit.  It is not a 6th level spell for clerics, since it improves them less than it improves a wizard.  It requires a potion of Bull's Strength as a component, which I don't think works well for a domain spell.  You also lose your spellcasting ability, which isn't good for a monk cleric.

according to what was posted they were both enhancement bonus so they don't stack with all the other enhancement bonuses we have in the other spell slots.  If one of those is a morale bonus then I would keep the one that is a morale bonus and get rid of the one that is an ehancement bonus.

I like Tenser's transformation too.

I take it back I don't like tenser's after reading that.  I forgot what it did.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: whitesword on March 07, 2012, 08:37:49 PM
  • Aura of Vitality is a morale bonus to Str, Dex, and Con for 1 creature/3 levels for 1 round per level
  • Chasing perfection is an Enhancement bonus to all stats for 1 creature touched for 1 min/level

I think they both work for the domain.  You can think of it as the Aura is an evolution of the Chasing prefection
In response to Windblade's post: this from Valdis is all I have to go on.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Windblade on March 07, 2012, 08:42:41 PM
1 Ram's Might (We need a replacement for this, it essentially provides the Imp Un Strike feat, which most clerics with this will already have)

3 Tyrogatore's Sanctity of Unarmed Combat (prevent weapon attacks)

6 Chasing Perfection (+4 enhancement bonus to all ability scores)
7 Aura of Vitality (+4 enhancement to Str, Dex, Con)
8 Deity's Roar (stunning roar)
9 Iron Body (lots, but relevant +6 enhancement Str, -6 Dex)

I think we should replace chasing perfection with a spell that doesn't confer enhancement bonuses.

I was going by Asinjin.  So if Valdis is right then I would get rid of the enhancement bonus one and keep the morale bonus one.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Hero on March 07, 2012, 09:03:17 PM
Divine Power is the clerical version of Tenser's Transformation.

I propose:
#2 Tyrogatore's Mastery replaces Bear's Endurance
#3 Refreshment replaces Sanctity
#6 Greater Sanctity replaces Chasing Perfection
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Asinjin on March 07, 2012, 09:27:33 PM
1 ???
2 Tyrogatore's Mastery
3 Refreshment
4 Divine Power (BAB = cleric level; 1 temp hp per cleric level; +6 enhancement bonus to STR)
5 Divine Agility (Reflex save = rogue level; +4 enhancement to Dex; Spring Attack)
6 Greater Sanctity of Unarmed Combat
7 Aura of Vitality (+4 enhancement to Str, Dex, Con)
8 Deity's Roar (stunning roar)
9 Iron Body (lots, but relevant +6 enhancement Str, -6 Dex)

6 Greater Sanctity of Unarmed Combat
7 Aura of Vitality (+4 enhancement to Str, Dex, Con)
8 Deity's Roar (stunning roar)
9 Iron Body (lots, but relevant +6 enhancement Str, -6 Dex)
I still think Freedom of Movement is a better choice than Divine Power. 
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Hero on March 07, 2012, 10:54:23 PM
I think FoM is a good for its benefit vs grapplers, but the immunity to things that impede movt doesn't fit the theme of the domain. Tyro's Mastery provides the opportunity to boost the clerics grappling bonus.

Do all the deities with the Unarmed domain give access to stunning fist? If no, then Tyro's Mastery might not be useful to those that don't.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain

They do not all give stunning fist.

The answer is now yes.

We can close this one out if we can find a 1st level spell.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: whitesword on March 18, 2012, 10:36:13 AM
Ram's Might was the best I found. Bull's Strength?
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Asinjin on March 18, 2012, 10:50:59 AM
I originally ham Ram's Might, but half of the usefulness of the spell is making your unarmed attack not provoke an AoO, which most clerics of this feat won't find useful, since they will have Imp Un Att.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: whitesword on March 18, 2012, 01:33:37 PM
If you don't want to use Bull's Strength how about the Combat Readiness I suggested for Time and Hero suggested for Weapons?
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Windblade on March 18, 2012, 02:07:05 PM
Bull Strength is second.  How about enlarge person or true strikeor divine favor.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Asinjin on March 18, 2012, 04:56:28 PM
Of those, I like combat readiness.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Windblade on March 18, 2012, 05:36:25 PM
I don't like combat readiness.  I don't think it is very useful especially since you don't allow the flanking bonus for winning initiative.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: whitesword on March 18, 2012, 08:15:43 PM
winning initiative is always important.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Windblade on March 18, 2012, 09:02:31 PM
But not as important as the rules initially intended which I think down powers the spell.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain

Unless we come up with something else, that will be it.

Why not enlarge person that is so useful for unarmed fighting.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Windblade on March 18, 2012, 09:43:28 PM
Also why don't we vote on it like the other ones if combat readiness  wins then it wins.  So far we have 2 votes in favor of it.  I vote for enlarge person, divine power or true strike.

I really like Lesser Vigor for the 1st level spell.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain

Mighty Wallop is a good one for this domain.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain

I don't know if it would work with unarmed attacks.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain

Mighty wallop sounds cool.  You can make an argument that a unarmed strike is a melee bludgeoning weapon.

We have two votes for Mighty Wallop and two for Lesser Vigor.  Valdis, Malchia, Zunder...break the tie.
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Valdis on March 21, 2012, 10:51:17 AM
We would have to build some mechanics for Mighty Wallop (unless I'm just not seeing the duration, range, and casting time, etc... on the tools site) but that would be my vote
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Asinjin on March 21, 2012, 11:26:56 AM
The tools say that the spell has a duration of 1 minute a level.  Touch range.  Standard action casting time.

3 for Wallop

2 for Vigor

Malchia, Zunder, Master Po?
Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain

Title: Re: Competition / Unarmed / Martial Domain
Post by: Asinjin on March 21, 2012, 01:35:15 PM
It says a blunt weapon, but that could be considered a fist with the imp unarmed combat feat.

Okay, Mighty Wallop wins.

Unless there are any other comments, this one will finally be closed tomorrow.
