Cleric domain power descriptions?

Remove all ads!

Okay, I posted this in another thread, but hard to tell if it'll get read by those who can answer...
The instruction manual that comes with ToEE makes cleric domain powers into fine print... it lists all the spells but none of the powers... does anyone have a link to the info, or can write out the powers for me?
I already know that Sun gives improved turning (but I don't think it gives the feat... I was able to take the improved turning feat with the sun domain, before I realized there WERE domain powers in the game), War gives weapon focus in the god's favoured weapon, and Destruction gives a Paladin's Smite. So I definitely know at least two powers are different from NWN (as most D&D things tend to be).
Thanks in advance for any help.

 

I believe you can access all of the domain power desciptions by clicking on them in the creation screen. It gives you a list of all domains, then click on each to get associated powers, free feats, skill mods, and spells.

 

The domain list is buried in the help section -- you have to click on "Classes", then "Cleric", and then "Domains". To save you the trouble, here are the domain powers in one handy location:


TURNING BOOSTS

Air..... Turn Earth elementals, rebuke Air elementals
Earth..... Turn Air elementals, rebuke Earth elementals
Fire..... Turn Water elementals, rebuke Fire elementals
Water..... Turn Fire elementals, rebuke Water elementals
Plant..... Turn plants and fungi
Sun..... Greater Turning once per day

There are lots of fungi in the lower levels of the Temple...


SPELL IMPROVEMENTS

Chaos..... Anarchic spells get a +1 level boost
Evil..... Evil spells get a +1 level boost
Good..... Good spells get a +1 level boost
Healing..... Healing spells get a +1 level boost
Knowledge..... Divination spells get a +1 level boost
Law..... Axiomatic spells get a +1 level boost

Maybe Healing isn't so worthless after all, with the +1 level boost.


CLASS SKILLS

Animal..... Knowledge (Nature) is a class skill
Plant..... Knowledge (Nature) is a class skill
Knowledge..... All Knowledge skills are class skills
Travel..... Survival is a class skill
Trickery..... Bluff and Hide are class skills

As far as I know, no Knowledge skills were left in ToEE, so Animal, Plant, and Knowledge are worthless in this regard.


BONUS FEATS

War..... Free Martial Weapon Proficiency and Weapon Focus feats

Weapon determined by deity -- in ToEE, limited to longsword, longspear, or morningstar.


TACTICAL BOOSTS

Luck..... Once per day, automatically reroll a failed roll
Protection..... Once per day, add cleric level to a single resistance check
Strength..... Once per day, boost Strength by cleric level for one round
Travel..... Freedom of Movement is dynamically and automatically applied for one round per cleric level per day

Travel is unusual in that the power isn't a one-shot deal -- it gets reapplied over the day, as long as "rounds" remain. A L10 cleric could fend off a 5-round Slow in the morning and then another 5-round Slow in the evening.


TACTICAL THREATS

Death..... Once per day, use "Death Touch" -- multiply cleric level by 1D6, and if greater than target's HP, target dies. No save!
Destruction..... Once per day, Smite opponent -- +4 attack, +cleric level in damage

Death Touch can be very effective because it has no save. Save it for boss characters once their HP are worn down.


ARCANE CROSSOVERS

Magic..... Able to use arcane scrolls, wands, etc. as if player has wizard levels equal to 1/2 cleric levels

Keep in mind that with the level cap, this means that a L10 cleric could only use scrolls like a L5 wizard -- not impressive.

Is it possible that the Animal domain gives Survival as a class skill instead?

Thanks for the info!

 

That's a great idea, ratwhowouldbeking...but I just checked, and it doesn't. Neither Knowledge (Nature) and Knowledge (All) give you additional class skills. But Trickery does give you Bluff and Hide, so it isn't that the game is bugged -- it just doesn't have any Knowledge skills, so there's no way to award the (existing) bonus.

Maybe a modmaker will want to tweak the game? Survival does seem like a good stand-in for Knowledge (Nature).
