Clerics and domain spells in Pathfinder


Races & Classes

Liberty's Edge

I don't know if this has been addressed, but do clerics in Pathfinder still have access to the domain spell lists from the 3.5 PHB? I've noticed there are a few domain spells that can only be cast by clerics with the appropriate domain. It seems wrong to me that a cleric devoted to a sun deity shouldn't be able to eventually cast Sunburst or that a cleric devoted to a god of travel shouldn't have Teleport.

I like the domain powers, but I think the domain spells should at least be added to the individual cleric's spell list based on their domains if they aren't getting the old +1 domain spell from 3.5.

On July 18th the Blog entry said one of the changes in the Beta will be "Cleric domains and wizard schools now grant bonus spells instead of spell-like abilities (although they maintain their supernatural abilities)."

I'm hoping for the return of cleric domains returning to what they were of not that and something else.

Maybe I missed it, but I've got the Beta and I haven't found these bonus spells of which they speak. Does anybody know where they are?

I haven't noticed it, but no reason it couldn't be a house rule if desired.
