Can a Favoured Soul choose Domain Spells? [Archive] - Wizards Community

It states that a Favoured Soul can choose from the Cleric list of spells. Does this include the Domain Spells too?

Would an undead themed Favoured Soul with Field of Ghouls as a spell choice be legal? (Field of Ghouls is from the Hunger Domain in Libris Mortis).

Thanks for any help.

The spell progression is almost the same, but the spells known are limited by the 2 domain spells at each level (IIRC). Also, the class gets 1 additional domain (plus spell known) every 5 levels.

I think the FS was just a try to tone the Evangelist down.
