Cleric of Asmodeus Fire Domain

[Bunibuni13th]

Thinking about playing a LN gnome cleric of Asmodues with Fire Domain, using the Theologian Archtype and taking the Pyromaniac racial alternative.

Pryomaniac is treated as one level higher when casting fire descriptor spells or granted powers of the Fire Domain.

Theologian has Focused Domain which treats all level-dependent effects of the granted powers as if you were two cleric level higher.

Does Theologian & Pyromaniac stack to make it three levels higher? The first level Fire domain spell is burning hands. Would I be casting it at first level as if I was a 4th level cleric or not?

I think that would depend on what type of bonuses they are. WIthout my books in front of me, I'd assume the Pyromaniac gives a racial and Focused Domain is something else (sacred or profane, perhaps.) If that's teh case, then yeah, they should stack. The wouldn't if they were the same bonus type, however.

This would also mean you'd get an extra +1 on your fire bolt damage.

Again, this is without books in front of me.

Hope that helps.

One is racial trait the other is Class feature. I don't see why they wouldn't stack to be 3 levels higher.

Well Pyromaniac is a Racial Alternative Trait. Theoloigian is a new cleric Archtype but it doesn't specify what kind of bonus it is. Domain bonus maybe?

Theologian treats the domain powers as two levels higher, Pyromaniac treats the domain powers and fire spells as if they were one level higher. Fire blast(domain power) as a 4th level caster, burning hands as a 2nd level caster.
