• New domains added
• Existing domains refreshed/amended

From NWN2 the idea might be to make some actual feats available via. the domain feat, like Uncanny Dodge or similar.

We'll detail some ideas below. Note that unless such functionality was added, limiting domains to specific classes or alignments or deities isn't easily doable.

Existing Domains

Thoughts on Turn XXX

These are powerful so any amendment is a fairly big nerf - in certain instances at least (mainly if such creatures populate the module).

It might however be actually pretty boring and multiple different domains have it as their "USP" with the spell selections for those ones tending towards practical but boring (eg Earth) completely naff (eg: Evil), middling (eg: Fire) or wtf (eg Poison in Water)

NWN2 made amendments to many of these to give basic feats out, which why not?

Thoughts on Spell Selection

Overhaul will add lots of new spells, and the expansion spells are not seen in domains, is it time for a refresh?

Or we could go ham have the full 9 spells for each domain but restrict one slot per level to be a single domain spell through scripting. This is kind of a blessing and a curse...some domains have frankly nowhere near 9 spells to grant Why after all this time? Mainly the opportunity with the additional new spells, feats and abilities that will be added. Characters will have to be generally rebuilt - or in the case of domains, there currently isn't any feats granted that lead to other feats, so it's a relatively benign change overall. Maybe a few spells will need redoing in spellbooks is all, and an active feat may change to a passive one (hopefully ELC won't mess it up, but a bit of GFF conversion could be done...!)

There's a lot of domains that could be added, both official and made up.

For now let's use NWN2's as an inspiration: https:/The NWN2 ones include the remaining SRD ones and other ones - possibly not the most interesting but still worth a think how they did them - https://nwn2.fandom.com/wiki/Domain

From 3.0 Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting p62 onwards. Most of these seem sensible. Some are duplicated from the NWN2 ones above.
