Not seen these in the UK yet. Local games stores don't have them on their distributors lists. Usual UK online suppliers don't list them and cant even find them on Amazon.
Hope these don't go the same way as the Skull & Shackles set which I was never able to order in the UK.

The Gory Details
Returning to base to recover after defeating the main threat in "The Mother of Flies" the party encountered a couple of events in the streets.
The horde of Lemures melted in 2 rounds as the priestess of Asmodeous used her negative channel.
The 4 Erinyes herding slaves onto a barge however devastated the party with their Unholy Blight at will power, plus their ability to fly. While the fight lasted a number of rounds and 2 of the Erinyes were felled, every single member of the party (except the Monk who was neutral and had good saves) was slaughtered. Unable to shoot the monk (high AC + deflect arrows) or really hurt him with the Unholy Blights, the remaining Erinyes retreated.

End of campiagn. 2 of the most expensive encounters ever purchased and a real anti-climax.

As a simple rule of thumb:

If you add a number to your damage, then that number is multiplied on crits. But if you roll extra dice and add that to your damage, then those dice are not multiplied on crits.

Off-hand, I cannot think of any exceptions to this rule.

Thanks for clearing that up. Power attack Great Axe crits just got a whole lot scarier :)

I thought I knew which damage got multiplied on a critical hit, and which didn't. Now I'm wondering if I'm still stuck in 3.5 mode on this.

The section on Critical Hits (p184) specifies sneak attack and weapon special properties damage is not multiplied. Thats fine and how I've always played it. Looking at the Power Attack and Deadly Aim feats however, there is no mention of it being precision damage, nor any exemption for it from crits. I was sure power attack damage was not multiplied on a crit. Is this something that I've overlooked in the 3.5/Pathfinder change over?

What about a Rangers Favoured Enemy bonus? Its no longer listed as precision damage, so does it multiply too?

I'd appreciate if anyone could clear this up for me.

The way it reads, the Domain info starting on p176 is a list of the Domain powers, not bonus spells.

To quote p22

This seems to imply the info listed from p176 onwards are the powers, but there are additional spells granted as well. Has the list of 9 spells that 3.5 used for each domain, that count as domain spells, been removed from this version of the game?

This becomes particulary important when you start looking at prestige classes that grant boosts to any Domain Spells that you cast (Radiant Servant of Pelor for example).

Can anyone tell me whats happened to Domain spells for Clerics?
The section on Domain Powers (p22) states that both powers and bonus spells are granted by a Domain. I cant find any lists of the bonus spells though.
Is this an oversight or have the bonus spells been removed in this version?
