03-29-07, 05:59 PM All of the elemental domains give clerics that take them the power to control creatures of that type and turn creatures of the opposite element. My question is, what counts as that type. If I take Water, does it get just water elementals, all aquatic creatures, or some combination?

Thank you for your time.

03-29-07, 08:42 PM I seem to recall that it was mentioned in the Draconomicon that a cleric with the Fire domain could rebuke Red Dragons. So I conclude that the power works on any creature that has the (element) type mentioned behind its name.
