03-01-06, 05:38 PM Hi there, I'm trying to figure out a domain that would fit in a Dwarf pantheon (ie, Moradin or one of the other gods that helps him) that gives the Iron Will feat as a bonus feat... any idea what that domain would be called or what spells it would have?? Is there any domain thats already like this? Thanks!

03-02-06, 12:41 PM The Dwarf Domain from the Players Guide Faerun gives Great Fortitude as a bonus feat. You could use the domain and swap out the free feat (either would serve the flavor of the domain; and it's not as though you are increasing/decreasing the domain's power).

However, if you are player and not the DM, that may not be an option. I don't know; you should ask your DM in that case - "What domain could I have that I could substitute the Iron Will feat for the existing domain power?".

But a warning: as a DM I would frown on someone asking me that question (and most likely not grant it). I believe a player should take domains already granted, or add domains to their god's portfolio for a reason - and adding, or creating, a domain because a player wants a specific, free feat (especially if the player wanted it to qualify for a PrC or wanted to offset a low wisdom score) would not be a good reason to me. But, that's how I do it; doesn't mean that's the way it is or that you can't try.
