I've suggested this before, and it was ignored largely.

But I believe that giving Sehanine Moonbow Death Domain as well as Repose Domain will not be altering her power level at all. We have very few elven clerics as it is, and each domain would indeed apply to her. In that her clergy oversee the death rites of elves, and that she is responsible for the elven spirits to ascend to Arvandor. Repose in that she opposes strongly the undead, but does not give her clerics much in the way of opposing them other than, "Go smite."

Giving Kelemvor Sun Domain And death domain back will not alter how powerful of a god he is. I believe it was silly to remove such domains in the first place given how much he hates the undead, and how Favored enemy: Undead doesn't increase cleric AB versus the undead. Increasing the turn power of said god will only serve to make such clerics, who are trained undead hunters, more useful when fighting the undead themselves.

Just a few thoughts.

Death Domain is generally themed towards deities who bring death (and either neutral or evil due to the association with negative energy), whereas Repose is themed towards deities who want to make death a peaceful transition, with an "it's time" approach.

Therefore I could see an argument for non-canon addition of Repose to Sehanine Moonbow, but not Death. Kelemvor also doesn't really suit Death.

That said, it depends on how DnD 3.0 or 3.5 you want to be, as Repose doesn't officially exist until 3.5 as far as I know.

With regards to Sun domain, I disagree, as the domain spells are definitely sunlight themed. You could however argue that the choice of Favored Enemy: Undead is not the greatest feat for the custom Repose domain and perhaps attempt to get it replaced with the Sun domain power feat. I actually think a "Racial Power" style feat might be a better choice if it were possible.

I would also point out that the canon Repose domain power is actually closer to a Palemaster's death touch than anything else in NWN. It is considerably less powerful though, so it would not work to replace it with that particular feat.
