Domain Oracle (Apath)

Unofficial rules compendium

Some oracles express their vision in domains rather than through a mystery. Domains grant more known spells, but less powers, creating something closer to the cleric.

Domains

A domain oracles has two domains, much like a cleric. An domain oracle's deity influences her alignment, what magic she can perform, her values, and how others see her. An domain oracle chooses three domains from among those belonging to her deity. An domain oracle can select an alignment domain (Chaos, Evil, Good, or Law) only if her alignment matches that domain. If an domain oracle is not devoted to a particular deity, she still selects three domains to represent her spiritual inclinations and abilities (subject to GM approval). The restriction on alignment domains still applies.

Each domain grants a number of domain powers, dependent upon the level of the domain oracle, as well as a number of bonus spells. These spells are added to her list of known spells as well as to her spell list if they are not already on the oracle spell list. A domain oracle casts these spells using her normal spell slots, there is no such thing as domain spell slots for a domain oracle.

In addition, a domain oracle gains the listed powers from both of her domains, if she is of a high enough level. Unless otherwise noted, activating a domain power is a standard action. Any domain ability normally based on Wisdom is instead based on Charisma for a domain oracle.
