Has anyone converted the domains from the Forgotten Realms to Pathfinder? The closest thing my search turned up was this.
If not, I'd appreciate suggestions for the Hatred, Tyranny, Pestilence, Suffering, Undeath and Retribution domain powers (and spells, if you're feeling generous). I'd like them to be dissimilar to existing domain powers while remaining balanced - balance is my big Achilles' heel.
Of course, if FR isn't your thing, feel free to post conversions of other domains in this thread, too! :)
Here's a quickie attempt at several of those domains. The Undeath domain is already in pathfinder in the form of the Undead subdomain for the Death domain (in the Advanced Player's Guide)
Hatred Domain
Granted Powers: Hateful Fervor (Su): Pick one opponent. As a swift action, you can gain a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls, saving throws, and armor class against that creature for 1 round. You can use this ability for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. These rounds need not be consecutive.
Imbue loathing (Su): At 8th level, you can give a weapon the bane weapon quality for a number of rounds equal to half your cleric level. You can do this one time per day at 8th level, and an additional time per day for every 4 levels beyond 8th.
Spells: Unchanged from the FR Player’s guide, p. 87.
Suffering Domain: Touch of Pain (Sp): You can cause a creature to become sickened as a melee touch attack. Creatures sickened by your touch also take a -2 morale penalty to Armor Class. This ability lasts for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your cleric level (minimum 1). You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Share the Pain (Su): At 8th level, when you take damage, you can, as an immediate action, transfer half of this damage to another creature within 30 feet. This power also transfers any effects that accompany the damage. A will save negates the entirety of this effect. You can use this ability once per day at 8th level, plus on additional time per day at 14th level and 20th level.
Spells: Unchanged from the FR Player’s Guide, p. 91
Tyranny: Kneel Before Zod (Sp): With a successful melee touch attack, you can compel a creature to kneel and grovel before you as a standard action. The creature receives a Will save to negate this affect. If the save fails, the creature may not take any other actions for 1 round as if you had cast command (halt) on it. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to half your cleric level (minimum 1).
Aura of Repetition (Su): At 8th level, you can emit a 30- foot aura of repetition for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. All enemies within this aura must make a Will save each round or repeat their action from the previous round (if possible). Creatures that attacked on the previous round attack again on the following round, although they may change their target. Creatures that moved the previous round must take the same move action again, although they may change their route. Creatures that drank a potion must do so again, even they can only drink from an empty bottle. Actions that cannot be repeated are wasted. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.

That is awesome, thanks you guys! I think I'd like something more "Kneel Before Zod"-y for the 8th lvl power of Tyranny, though. Any suggestions?
Anyone want to help me with the other domains I mentioned? They don't seem to be at clff rice's links.
thanks wasn't sure how to do that.
Have you got access to the Advanced Player's Guide? They have several "Sub-Domains" that might work.
Makes me wonder if a druid with a nature bond of another domain can take a sub domain.

It's on the FAQ board. The answer is yes.
Here's a stab at the Pestilence domain:
Pestilence Domain
Granted Powers: You are immune to the effects of disease, however, you are still a carrier and transmit disease through all the normal methods.
Touch of Filth (Su): As a standard action, you can coat a weapon with filth fever by touch. This disease lasts 1 round, or until discharged by a successful melee attack. You can do this a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wis modifier. The Fortitude save to resist the filth fever is calculated as per your domain cleric domain abilities, rather than the base save of the disease itself.
Aura of Illness (Su): At 8th level, you can emit a 30-foot aura o sickness for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. Using this ability is a swift action. Enemies in the area gained the sickened condition. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
Tyranny: Kneel Before Zod (Sp): With a successful melee touch attack, you can compel a creature to kneel and grovel before you as a standard action. The creature receives a Will save to negate this affect. If the save fails, the creature may not take any other actions for 1 round as if you had cast command (halt) on it. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to half your cleric level (minimum...
I would suggest doing Tyranny as a subdomain of Nobility (Tyranny is just the leadership of the nobility taken a step in a dark direction). Use Dreaming Psion's Kneel Before Zod or a variant thereof as a substitution for the normal ability gained at 1st level.
Sub in Command as the 1st level spell.
I think I'd like something more "Kneel Before Zod"-y for the 8th lvl power of Tyranny, though. Any suggestions?
For the Zhentil Keep campaign I am running I used the following for the 8th level Tyranny domain power.
Aura of Menace (Su): At 8th level, you can emit a 30-foot aura of menace as a standard action. Enemies in this aura take -2 penalty to AC and on attacks and saves as long as they remain inside the aura. You can use this ability for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. These rounds do need to be consecutive.
Ironically this was 'stolen' from the Azata subdomain but fits the fear effect 2nd Ed. specialty priests of Bane had.
Great stuff
This is brilliant! Thanks for your input, guys! I was especially struggling with the Pestilence domain, so thanks for that, Dreaming Psion. :D I'm definitely going to use these ideas!
This is what I did to two of the domains I need for my Forgotten Realms / Pathfinder Campaign.

Sword of Hatred (Su): At 8th level, you can give a weapon touched the Bane special weapon quality for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your cleric level.

You can use this ability for a number of times equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Force of Will (Su): At 8th level, you can emit a 30-foot aura of tyranny for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level.

These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
