Need help chosing a Domain for a Bad touch cleric. Narrowed it down to 3.

[meeko]

So I'm making a gestalt Brawler/cleric for a pbp.

Bad touch cleric with Domain strike. looking for a good domain. I'm probably going to pick up Theologian to buff it.

Chaos: The domain power is great, but the spells are meh.

Charm : dazed is great, and the spells would be good for the Theologian's metamagic feats

Madness: The domain power is neat, you give them a bonus on skillz and then negatives on comabt stats. the spells are very DeBuffy and powerful.

If you think of another Domain that i might have missed, let me know. Ive never made something like this before.

If it's high level, I'd go Madness.
Low level probably Charm.

We are starting at 1st.

Madness. It's the best debuff in the game, has no save, and will help you land your save or sucks.
Edit: and since you are a brawler, you can damage with it as well via domain strike.

What about the ferocity sub-domain from the strength domain?

I'm also always a big fan of the travel domain, even though it doesn't give you any offensive abilities. It does give you +10 movement speed, and dimension door, fly, and teleport as a cleric.

Of the three you have listed, I would go Madness.

I'd probably go Charm. Dazing creatures without a save is quite powerful at low levels, even with an HD limit, and it remains relevant later on. You can attack a creature, daze them with Domain Strike, and use the rest of your flurry attacks against that creature or others.

And the spells you get are both powerful and quite fun to use.

Madness is also very good, but it will be a while before you have spells powerful enough to fully take advantage of it. And since you're gestalted with Brawler, any creature that ends up adjacent to you most likely won't remain alive long enough for the 3 turn duration to be much of an advantage.

Madness is ultimately both the best debuff in the game and also a fantastic buff for you if needed. Hit the enemies with negatives to hit and save, your spells crush them and they miss all the time, out of combat you need to pass a skill check? Buff your skill checks, no one cares about a hit or save penalty as you're not in a fight! It's incredibly powerful and versatile, definitely worth it (and also stacks very nicely with the Theologian archetype, slapping the Focused Metamagic on Confusion at higher levels essentially means it's fantastic for casting at ranged without needing to use Vision on them).

[Renegadeshepherd]

Madness is weak in the beginning but is insanely good later on and has better spells than the others. Theologian is very good for that but have you considered an ecclisitheurge if you madness? The reason I ask is because the ability to spam confusion and phantasmic killer would make you a boss killer of epic proportions and you could still have another domain.

If you think that you will not go into double digit levels I would stick with charm though. It's pretty solid.
