I say no! I was against the new domains being added anyways!  Clerics are already major powerhouses, infact the msot powerful class there is.  Now they have even more spells and when I read the new domains I sit back and cry a bit for the other caster classes, especially wizards.

QuoteUgh.

Nerf all these domains, new and old.

Lordy lordy, didn't mean to whip it up so much...  I just think for RP reasons, it'd be cool for Fire domain folks to have a hair of fire resistance...  and maybe a low level offensive fire spell.   The primary thing though would be the fire resistance.  Doesn't even have to be high, maybe just DR 5 for fire.

ScottyB, I love those new domains, don't listen to the haters.  Ever.

I think clerics need to be nerfed too.  Please give them a low reflex save, low base ab and put a lot of Dispell-spamming enemies in the module so that when a cleric buffs up for combat with the ten spells that they need to hit anything, they can lose them all instantly. Please give any class the ability to use each and every combat buff spell a cleric has in a potion form and make most of them widely available and cheap (especially bless, aid, bullstrength and divinefavor).
 
I think these nerfs would really help balance things out.

Yes, Clerics are intensely underpowered.

They are not underpowered, yet they are not overpowered either. They are strong on the offensive (like wizards) and really terrible on the defensive. There's a trade-off. Taking out a cleric really is pretty easy if you go about it the right way. The basic fact is that a fighter/ranger/paladin/barbarian is immensely superior given the abundance of consumables.

I think these new domains are awesome, allowing clerics to properly RP the aspects of their dogmas and duties that they might not have been able to do without them. Nice work Scotty!

Clerics are fighters with lower AB and free buffs.

Quoted for appropriate and good sarcasm.

Quoted for the truth.
