Cleric domain powers


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade

For all those cleric domain powers that give people bonuses by touching them, can the cleric buff him/herself with those powers instead of someone else?


Yes.

Note, however, that any with a duration of one round will expire right before your next turn. Which is lame.

LOL

Ok, I missed that part. Glory domain still works on yourself, but it rules out using the Good and Luck domain powers on yourself, among others.

Right. Or the protection domain power -- as you would merely have to waste a standard action to take your resistance bonus to saves from yourself and give it back to yourself. :P


Well... if I know it's coming, I can at least luck myself up for a couple of saves. Or some AoOs...

It is lame. We house ruled that a Cleric can use it on themselves as a swift action, but its a standard to use them on anyone else

That is an OUTSTANDING rule. Just like LoH. Holy cow.

Stolen!

I like that houserule. Mirrors the Paladin's Lay on Hands ability.


I would think that the designer was fully aware that it couldn't be used on the cleric as well, so they were meant to be support, not buffs.

But I do like it for reasons others have mentioned.
