Domain spells and Spontaneous Casting


Rules Questions


Other than being a druid, does PF have any way yet to use Spontaneous Casting to cast a Domain spell, instead?


I don't know of one, but a Theologian cleric can fill any of his spell slots with domain spells ... this may be the next best thing. You could always use Channel the Gift (Gods and Magic) to burn off the domain spell slots you have no need of to give other casters in the party a way to cast what they know without losing the spell...


And also not what you asked for, but the Evangelist archetype has a different set of spontaneous spells than just heal/inflict or summon.

Actually, yes.

Heighten Spell followed by Preferred spell (feats) allows you to cast any single spell you can cast, spontaneously; without the normal metamagic penalties for sponataneous casters even.

This is very good for someone trying to run a Cleric as say, a Fireball spammer. Just prepare all 3rd and higher level slots as support/buff/SoD etc spells, and use them as fireballs as needed.

This a great solution in any case where you really just need one (or maybe two) of your domain spells more than once... which for me at least, was most of the time when I was looking at a domain and thinking, "Man, if only I got more than one of spell X!"
