Cleric Domain- Elf

[Svipdag]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert my existing campaign to Pathfinder. One of the clerics has war and elf as domains. While War is present, Elf is not. Looking at the other domains there seems to be a pattern.

Level 1- Low power at-will supernatural ability
Level 2- 1st level 3.5 domain spell list level/per day
Level 4- 2nd level 3.5 domain spell list 1/day
Level 8- Higher Power supernatural ability
Level 12- 5th Level 3.5 domain spell list 1/day?
Level 16- 6th Level 3.5 domain spell list 3/day?
Level 20- 9th Level 3.5 domain spell list 1/day

So the elf cleric of War and Elf will not get weapon focus or point blank shot. He will get the War domain and a domain that might look like this

Level 1- ???
Level 2- True Strike level/per day
Level 4- Cats Grace 1/day
Level 8- ???
Level 12- Commune with nature 1/day
Level 16- Find the path 3/day
Level 20- Antipathy 1/day

Any ideas what the 1st and 8th powers should be?
Also I see that 12th and 16th level spells can be 1/day or 3/day...

Help will be much appreciated :)
Thanks

I'd suggest a supernatural ability with the bow at 1st level granting you 1/2 level in damage with bow attacks. This is similar to many of the other powers. In fact, it might be bit limited and should be applied to any elf weapon. Not sure on that one.

As for level 8: Really not sure here.

I have not looked over this domain. But a nice rule of thumb for the 8th level slot is find a 3rd or 4th level spell on your list that that domain only. then make that a power.

1/2 level to bow attacks sounds good to me as well

In which case I'd suggest allowing use Tree Stride for a number of round equal to your level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive. That's the 4th level domain spell and it makes more sense than Snare for that duration.

Thanks,

they seem reasonable.

1st 1/2 cleric level to bow damage
8th Tree stride for level rounds per day, not necessarily consecutive.

yep sounds good really. The first level ability you could allow it to be used by others but just one time per day per person.

Also what I have been doing is if there are any other spells that is for that domain only. I would allow clerics with that domain to add them to there list of spells.

Anyone with better search foo than me able to find Kaeyoss' thread for putting together domain conversions? I think this should be linked there.
