06-16-06, 06:37 AM How does a cleric gain a third domain from the beginning? I understand four feats at 1st level -- one regular, one human, two from taking those penalty things in Unearthed Arcana, but where does the third domain come from?

06-16-06, 06:43 AM A cloistered cleric (from Unearthed Arcana) gets the Knowledge domain as a bonus domain. That's one way.

06-16-06, 06:46 AM There is an epic feat which lets you gain an extra domain. Also, there are a few prcs which grant a bonus domain. :)

06-16-06, 09:44 AM Other than Cloistered Cleric, you usually get the third domain from prestige classes.

Complete Divine has a few, Divine Disciple (Player's Guide to Faerun) has one of choice, the Draconomicon has a couple....Contemplative and Divine Disciple are the only ones I can think of offhand that give you a choice in the domain.

06-16-06, 10:27 AM I have a cohort who has 5 domains despite him really only using the healing domain since he's a Radiant Servant.

A lawful good elf folower of Bahamut could have 8 domains by 11th level.

1 Cloistured Cleric: Combat Casting
2 CC
3 CC: Skill Focus (Knowledge: Religion)
4 CC
5 CC
6 Divine Oracle:
7 Divine Oracle: (mainly for evasion)
8 Seeker of the Misty Isle
9 Church Inquisitor:
10 War Priest
11 Contemplative

Protection, Glory, Knowledge, Inquisistion, Travel, Luck, Oracle, and Nobility

06-16-06, 02:54 PM This can't been done from 1st level but if you are using splatbooks you might want to look in the Champions of Darkness book for the Ravenloft setting (tis a Sword and Sorcery book).

It has a feat called Extra Domain. It needs Wis 18+, Knowledge (Religion) 10+, and Divine Caster Level of 7+. It lets you choose another of you gods domains or any domain if you already have all of the ones that belonged to your god.

Not WOTC but I hope it helps.

so cloistered cleric doesn't grant a bonus domain? it just makes you pick knowledge as one of your domains?

No, it grants the Knowledge Domain as a bonus domain. So you have three... whatever you would normally take + the Knowledge Domain.

No, I meant that the option I was presenting could not be done from first level. It was not meant as a blanket statement, just a qualifer for what I was presenting.
