Sep 30, 2010 23:30:24 I'm currently playing a cleric of Kelemvor and we may be switching over to using essentials classes. So my question is which best suits kelemvor? The Sun Domain to reflect his hatred of the undead? Or the Storm Domain to reflect his unaligned nature?

Sep 30, 2010 23:51:04 I'd say go with Sun. Choosing the Sun domain itself doesn't make you automatically Good/Lawful Good, and the fact that Radiant is basically a huge anti-undead element is more than enough justification for a Warpriest of Kelemvor to have it.

If thats not an option Id try to work something out with the DM and hombrew it in there, or just use the non-Essential variant. It was my understand that they worked together so you could use Essentials stuff for non-Essentials characters and vice-versa.

Oct 01, 2010 19:48:20 There is no Death Domain in essentials, only Sun and Storm. What I'd do is use the Sun Domain, but refer to the Cleric as a Doomguide, with radiant powers that were specifically crafted the hunt undead, but that can serve other purposes as well.

Oct 01, 2010 20:39:53 the essential sun and storm domains only over writes the core domains of the same name.

and then only if the DM allows them.

nice day to you, and may Kelemvor's Embrace take you when your time comes.

Oct 02, 2010 5:36:51 I expect to see alot more Domains in the coming future of DDI articles and such. There is a domain "feat" for Death, but the Essentials Cleric gains alot of at-will and encounter prayers from a chosen domain. Heroes of the Fallen Lands offer two distinct options: Storm or Sun.

Personally I'd go with Sun as well and it actually works well with the Doomguide as most of it's attack powers have the Radiant Keyword. That being said, the specific Doomguide paragon path is rather pathetic, so you might want to work with your DM on the Doomguide's powers (making them either all Strength based or Wisdom based).
