Move Haste from Travel Domain to Cleric's Spellbook

Post by NauVaseline » Fri Dec 13, 2019 5:35 pm

It feels pretty much mandatory to take Travel as a Cleric, primarily for the enormous Quality of Life boost it provides, alongside the obvious advantages of being able to caste Haste. Some might view this as a 'proper tradeoff for something powerful', and I would agree, however I also feel/recognize that by locking it behind this gateway, it also disincentives following your deities proper domains/experimenting with non-standard domains that are often considered 'weak' (justifiably) in comparison.

Pro's I see:
People are more likely to take less-used domains such as Sun or Knowledge

Con's I see:
Haste is in every Cleric's spellbook. But how is that different from things already are? Is that even a con?

What to give Travel Domain: Mass Haste? Flat movement rate bonus? Idk

Cheers

I have already approved a full rework of domains, so this suggestion is invalidated.

Rejected.
