Just a revival for this particular domain, inspired by thomas' Sehanine post.

Happy that the suggestions plus more from this old thread: http://www.escapefromunderdark.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21945 were implemented.

The custom domain list is fantastic, am really happy with the flavour of all the new ones. The one from that old thread that I really think suits the setting and we're still lacking is Moon domain.

My suggestion:
Deities: Eilistraee, Hathor, Malar, Sehanine Moonbow, Selune, Sharindlar

Power: Turn lycanthropes

If this is a remote scripting possibility, as I imagine it should be with the whole Command Lizards/Vermin. Might be nice to have Good/neutral clerics with Moon (eg. Selunites) turn, and Evil clerics with Moon (eg. Malarites) command lycans.

Spells:
(Not suggesting all of the following, just a list to pick a few from. PnP inspiration in brackets)

2: Searing Light (Moon beam) or Prayer (Good Hope)
3: Bless weapon (Moon blade)
4: Confusion (Insanity)
5: Greater Sanctuary (Moon Path)

Other possibilities might include anything that might counteract Darkness (since Ultravision was changed, not sure if this is desirable or possible).

Drop Greater Sanctuary and Confusion and it seems pretty good!

Don't think we need clerics running around with bless weapon unless some other domains are revised with it as well. Those such as Jergal's or Lathandaer's.

Yeah I'm wary of Bless Weapon as well. As Paladins get it at level 4 at the earliest, I thought Clerics getting at five seemed alright, but I would also consider giving it as a 4th circle spell just to make it more of a special perk.

Finktank

The difference in Paladins getting it at L4 and Clerics getting it at L5 is that Paladins have WAY less spells/level than a cleric. Giving it as a 4th circle spell might be a good solution to that though.

It'd be cool to see this (and the other domain suggestions, and spell suggestions for that matter) implemented.

Bless Weapon as a 4-5 circle spell instead.  Drop Confusion and Greater Sanctuary.

derfo

bless weapon as any level cleric spell seems pretty crazy, otherwise seems like a pretty cool idea

Hoooooooly shite this would be an absurd domain with those spells.  T_T

Greater Sanc. is pretty much the most overpowered spell in the game.  Bless weapon and confusion are also ridiculously good.  It could never be done with that list of spells.

As noted in my original post, the list is not the final suggestion, but a list of possible choices of which I would pick two at the most.
 
My preference would probably be 2: Searing Light and 4: Bless Weapon.

Bless weapon and searing light sounds good to me, blessweapon as a level 7 spell.

I'm against anything that encourages players to enjoy playing elves.

Racist fag.

Off topic:
I can't tell if you are being ironic or not Thomas. To call someone rascist while being discriminatory in other ways... a bit hypocritical, even if said in jest, no?

Either way. Can we stick to the topic please!

I was originally working on a Moon domain, but I figured that "Moon-on-a-stick" domain (what it would appear as IG) was just too tacky. Stormlord for Storm and such is OK, but really, "Moon-on-a-stick" or "Moon - Ambient Light" is just too embarassing.

Enigma

Why should Malar have the moon domain?
