Expand the number of Cleric Domains which changes your Summoning Theme

[herald_of_heat]

Currently I believe only the four primordial domains, plant, and animal actually affect your summoning theme, it would be splendid if more had this. Just looking at the list of domains, these jump out as easy to correlate with an existing theme. I have not tested all of these, but I am fairly certain that the first five do not change themes. Some of these themes are pretty strong, but the domains that match up (Law, for example) aren't gamechanging in their own right, near as I can tell. Rather than buffing them, which I do think some domains need, I think this would be an easy(?????) boost to cleric diversity.

Chaos
Death
Evil
Good
Law
Illusion
Darkness
Spider

I am all for adding summoning themes to domains

[Nezgul]

This sounds like a lovely suggestion. Adding more flavor and diversity to some domains is sorely needed.

[Zooxanthelle]

That would be brilliant!

[Diz-e]

I can affirm that the last time I checked Death does give Spirits (same for Evil, IIRC) and Darkness gives Shadows.

I did try Law at one point and was disappointed it did not have the (relatively new) law theme.

I seem to recall Good providing the Celestial theme? I don't know about the others (aside from elemental domains, those do work as expected) but I definitely agree it would be really good to see the appropriate themes applied.

Keep in mind that the 1st domain chosen at creation is the one that determines any applicable theme change!

Bob and I have tried a cleric with both animal and plant domain, and you can't take plant theme and I don't remember if you get an animal-themed summoning theme.

[bobofwestoregonusa]

It doesn't, I've tried it.

[Zooxanthelle]

The Animal theme is the standard summoning theme. If you take animal domain (and not another domain that would change your theme..) it will also be +1 - tested now to make sure.
