  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Cleric Domains, Charisma and Wisdom

Post by Dalek Caan »

Connect the duration/DC of certain seldom-used domain abilities to the Wisdom modifier or divine caster levels instead of Charisma modifier. I am thinking of domains like: war, protection, strength, trickery.

Additionally, or alternatively, allow domain abilities that add to the turn-ability to provide a bonus like... I dunno, +1 to the turn DC for every 5 divine caster level, capping with wisdom modifier or something.

I think these are small perks that even out the field for domains somewhat, without being overpowered. They're single use and I don't see a problem with them being made significantly more effectively. The duration is still relatively short and the effects won't blow any build out of proportion.

I would really like for us to revisit domains at some stage, and introduce those other D&D ones missing from D&D. Our previous 'balance' team, were great at this kind of assignment, having both a coder skilled enough to know what was possible, and enough creatively minded players to come up with the ideas themselves.

I'm not going to approve a switch from Wis to Cha, but if the opportunity arises to really make domain project a reality, we'll do it.

Rejected (for the core suggestion)
