Caster Level and Domain Powers

[Jim Callaghan]

The domain powers are listed per caster level, instead of cleric level. This seems to mean that a character who takes a prestige class which increases caster level gets the higher level powers, instead of preserving these powers for single level clerics who dedicated themselves to the class for 20 levels. Is this correct?

Hey I would like an official answer to this one too, as I'm not sure how to handle that.

Thanks in advance.

I think this problem will be adressed when prestige classes are discussed. Not sure if I would prefer a more restrictive approach or not.

If the text trumps table rule from 3.5 is still valid it's the class level, not the caster level.

The cleric’s (or druid’s) level is used when determining the caster level of these effects. The DC for any save is equal to 10 + the spell’s level + the caster’s Charisma modifier.

But honestly I'd really wish for some clarifications regarding domains.
