Deity viewer banned domains not showing properly.

Banned domains aren't always listing, some domains are replaced with random garbage.

Otherwise, this information should probably be on the wiki somewhere. When banned domains were first introduced, the information was listed under the deity. But for some reason that was removed at some point. The system has since expanded, and is a nasty surprise mechanic. I've had a few instances where people will tell me their cleric plans, and I'll tell them the domain they want to take is banned for their deity.

I would like add the filtering system has issues.

For some reason, Sess'innek and Shekinester are listed as domains, meanwhile Luck is not there.

Hey I want to bump this, because the deity viewer is still broken. And now deities aren't even showing up, someone asked me this morning about banned domains for Cyric and he's not even showing up. Entries are still garbled too. And some entries are completely wrong. Graz'zt is showing up as lawful good.

It's extremely frustrating trying to help people who want to build clerics because information on banned domains is so obfuscated and this impacts a cleric's spellbook, it impacts core class mechanics.

Something with how the data is loaded in from the server files gets wonky and it doesn't process them right. It requires a kick by an admin with system access to fix it. Typically it's been backlands in the past.

I just wanted to note that I have seen this and have tried a few fixes since it was first noticed (probably six months ago now even before this topic started!) and sadly haven't found a fix that is guaranteed to work. It is proving a bit of a bear and part of the issue comes from how data on that page is loaded from game files. I'll give another stab at it when I get some time here in the new year!
