3. Clerical Domains by Deity

Clerical Domains by Deity


  • Well, straight out of the Faiths and Pantheon Selune's domains are Chaos, Good, Moon, Protection, Travel. Her portfolio consists of Good and neutral lycanthropes, moon, navigation, questers, stars & wanderers.

    Basically she's a Moon Goddess, so to grant her the Sun domain doesn't really make sense either literally (Why would a moon deity have the sun domain?) or functionally in that she isn't overly concerned with the undead which is pretty much the focus of the Sun domain. Likewise in an IC sense I don't think Healing fits with her portfolio.

    And now to the OOC. Those two domains are commonly seen as the most overpowered. Sun Domain turns a cleric into an undead turning behemoth and Healing Domain… well; free empowerments? With earlier access to stronger spells? Back before domains were enforced through scripting I believe it was common to see all the powerbuild clerics with both Sun and Healing. Though if this were sanctioned then I can garauntee we'd see an upsurge in the number of clerics of Selune in the mix. 😄


  • Hi,
    Just want to throw into the mix concerning selune ((who else)). I have been surfing a nubmer of other sites concerning this goddess and have noticed that Sun and Healing have been added to her portfolio. I'm wondering about the choices of Protection and Travel for her in Narfell.

    I find that both the Sun and Healing are both truely applicable portfolios for Selune. First for the Sun, Selun if you recall brought Light to the world by igniting a celstial body at great expense to herself; a sacrafice that left her weaker for the firece battle with her dark twin Shar. As for healing from what I've read in storys about Selune in the FG her priestess wander the lands mostly, healing the wounded and caring for the down troden and mentaly ill.

    The post is not meant to insult any DM's, Developers, or Players who do not agree with this line of reasoning but is merely observationale with a request for some kind of dialogue on this. One point of reasoning for having these domains now and not before is that Selune was a weaker diety before the time of troubles when she was subservent to sune ((though her priestess were still know for thier compasion)). Now according to what I have read Selunes power is growing again ((possibley due to her defeat of the mortal form of Shar who was impersonating her during the ToT event)), and may not have even reached "fullness" yet.

    Anyway, thoughts, comments, angry jibes…...

    @a84d746c10=Baynoor:

    I have always wondered this but could Kelemvor priests have access to the sun domain to represent their inherit power in turning undead that is not represented correctly by the death domain in NWN?

    Clerics of Kelemvor don't have access to the death domain anyways. I have never heard of them having any more power in the turning of the undead than other priests.. unless Kelemvorite priests typically have higher charisma than most, which has the most effect on undead turning.

    In PnP, clerics of Kelemvor can have the Repose domain, which is like a "good" version of the Death domain and is very anti-undead.

  • @c33e1971a9=Valshan:

    bah i think there is something wrong with being a cleric of Kelemvor it says in the book that sun is another domain but that doesnt work ive tried protection but that doesnt work ive tried all sorts from death to good to knowledge what are kelemvors domains so far only travel has become valid and it says in the game that protection is one but when i choose protection it says invalid

    As you see in the link, or in the post above yours…
    Kelemvor Lawful Neutral LE, LG, LN PROTECTION, TRAVEL, Fate, Law, Repose

    The CAPS ones are implemented in NWN. So... it looks like protection and travel. If protection and travel dont work, post in the Bug Report forum.

  • I have always wondered this but could Kelemvor priests have access to the sun domain to represent their inherit power in turning undead that is not represented correctly by the death domain in NWN?


  • Eh, didn't even bother to look in that forum. A suggestion then:

    Since the more important parts of the New Adventurer's Inn have been moved to the Tome of Knowledge–and indeed, it seems to possess some of the more vital information on the functions of Narfell than most of the other forums--the Tome should probably be listed above the Inn on the forums list to give it a higher priority. Personally, if I was a new player, I'd be more likely to visit the "New Adventurer's Inn" than the more euphemized "Tome of Knowledge." Apparently not many people either really noticed the Tome (like myself) or just don't bother to visit it for information for lack of constant posting (like the General Discussion) and the small number of posts over-all--I've heard several people asking about the clerics domains, so I'm pretty sure this is a common mistake.


  • I believe there is a thread that has the cleric domain info, in the Tome of Knowlege…

    http://nwn.black-flag.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=13222

    Is there something lacking in that sticky that you want added?


  • Agreed. I only found it accidentally myself.


  • Ya see that's what confused me… :oops:

    And surely 'New Adventurers' wouldn't need a rebuild? 😄

    Maybe a slight topic change to that one would cover it then :?:


  • The list is already in a Sticky at the top of this forum alread, albeit, in an indirect way, in the Cleric Rebuild thread.


  • bumpage

    ::requestage for stickiage::


  • I think only TN gods can have TN clerics. Mystra allows LE because the old mystra used to allow LE, and she still does it out of respect for the old mystra, or something like that.

  • A

    I just can't understand how Mystra, as a NG deity, can allow LE clerics but not TN. :? :? :? Anyone?


  • double post


  • Mystra Neutral Good CG, LE, LG, LN, NG GOOD, KNOWLEDGE, MAGIC, Illusion, Rune, Spell

    There you go. you have GOOD, KNOWLEDGE, and MAGIC to pick from.

    Go off the one in the first post, NOT khira's. It seems alternates are only put in if they don't already have at least two NWN applicable ones


  • Tried spiritually testing my cleric for mystra compliance:
    and failed cause Healing was invalid.

    here's some information about mystra:

    @3a834d4a88:

    Mystra is the goddess of magic, which makes her one of the most powerful deities in the Realms. Known also as the Lady of Mysteries, she is said to have taught the first spell caster of the Realms, and to have enabled many of the races to use magic.
    During the Time of Troubles Mystra was destroyed and replaced by a mortal named Midnight who took the mantle of goddesshood and the goddess's portfolio. At this time Mystra's stated alignment shifted from lawful neutral, maintaining the balance in use of magic, to neutral good, reflecting the mortal's attitudes towards the uses and purpose of magic.

    In the field, all priests of Mystra wear armor, and bear the symbol of Mystra on their shields as a display of their faith. They can use all bludgeoning weapons and the same magical items allowed by both clerics and wizards, except wizard scrolls.

    The standard spell selection for priest of Mystra consist of the following spheres: major access to All, Astral, Charm, Combat, Creation, Divination, Elemental, Guardian, Healing, Necromantic, Protection, Summoning, Travelers, and Wards. Minor access is granted to the spheres of Animal, Law, Plant, Sun, Thought, and Weather

    @3a834d4a88:

    Mystra: Good, Illusion (Trickery), Knowledge, Magic, Rune (Sun), Spell (Healing)

    So the question I pose: what are the limitations on domains for Mystra?


  • BUMP!

    Since it's now in, you all should refer to this when you are picking your deity and domains.
