Mystaran priest domains


Not updated for 3.5

Proposed New Domains for Mystara

SPHERE DOMAINS

The Mystaran multiverse is divided into five distinct Spheres of Power: Matter, Time, Thought, Energy and Entropy. All immortals are associated with one of these spheres and give access to the domain related to that sphere (as described below):

Matter
1 Protection From Chaos
2 Soften Earth and Stone
3 Protection From Elements
4 Death Ward
5 Major Creation
6 Stoneskin
7 Transmute Metal to Wood
8 Ironbody
9 Shapechange

Granted power:

You can generate a "Resistive Ward", a spell-like ability to grant the object or person you touch a resistance bonus on the next fortitude saving throw equal to your level+2. This includes unattended non-magical items that would normally not get a saving throw. Activating this power is a standard action. The 'resistive ward' is an abjuration effect with a duration of 1 hour that is usable once per day.
