I didn't notice a recent suggestion regarding domains, so I thought just posting about it.
Any chance of new domains being added anytime soon? just a handful would be useful to those playing clerics with only a few domains (or only one domain they can actually select in Neverwinter Nights), and could be a really nice perk to check.
Alternatively, changing some domains to their effects to be close to P&P could also be a bit better. Domains like Strength and War are quite powerful, and a character with both is quite very strong even in low levels just with casting them - both or alone - even once per day.
What do you think?

Domains can't be added without haks, only reason luck was added was because it was in the original nwn it was just never activated for some unknown reason in nwn. The override grants access to it though.

Whats actually in the LUCK domain abilities wise?
Also law and chaos were ALMOST completed by bioware also, they have STUBS in the domains.2da.
Theres even spell icons and spell slots in other 2das for various spells that were never implemented to do with those domains.
I'm still suprised to this day that they were never finished but were started. They didnt have an appearence in SOU or HOTU either.
Theres still the chance that a PREMIUM module MAY introduce them since the stubs for them are definitely there.
Also I did post a message regarding changing the domains to better reflect PnP domains but the fact that domain spells aRENT just one slot per spell level like they should be means you can fill your spell level up with a domain spell (which is overpowering if the spell is strong)
Even now a cleric with MAGIC domain can have their level 2 slots ALL melf's acid arrow.. can have all their level 4 slot STONESKINS.
I would have liked domains to be better but it just seems like theres a wall in the way.. and even NWN2 doesnt look like the problem is gong to be fixed there.

I am, however, still pretty sure there is a hak that could do this, or a 2da or something of the sort - there are, after all, PRC haks, Racial Change haks and things much more complicated.
I'm still waiting for a coder/DM answer, if possible to recieve one(?).
By the way - We have a Luck domain? really? :shock: I didn't notice when I made my cleric. That's odd.

You need to download an over ride file to use the Luck domain.
Same would apply if any other domain was implemented; if its possible even.

Will this modification give stoneskin as a spell in at least one of the domains of every cleric? ;)

Thats because stoneskin effectively only adds X hitpoints to your total (and only to physical injury) Having said that it's very powerful in it's own right especially against singular foes and when you have other ways of avoid damage also like any sort of concealment or a good armor class.
Cleric domains as per the collated 3.5 rules are mentioned and explained here on this crystal keep file.
http://www.crystalkeep.com/d20/rules/DnD3.5Index-Spells-ClericalDomains.pdf
As a sidenote: Stoneskin appears in the EARTH and STRENGTH domain here as a LEVEL 6 spell .. not level 4 or 5.
In addition the non-standard domain of Endurance gets it as a level 5 spell.
P.s. Great stuff arkov I look forward to seeing what sort of success you've achieved. :D
