Druid: Select one cleric domain power at 1st level that is normally usable a number of times per day equal to 3 + the druid's Wisdom modifier. The druid adds 1/2 to the number of uses per day of that domain power. For half-elf druids whose nature bond gives them an animal companion, add +1 skill rank to the animal companion. If the half-elf ever replaces her animal companion, the new companion gains these bonus skill ranks.
Okay, so we had a debate when one of my players was making a Druid. He wanted to use this ability except he wanted to select the Healing domain. Can he do that or is he restricted to the just one domain from the domains that a Druid can select per the Core Rule book, or does this let him choose a second domain off the cleric list with no restrictions?

The favoured class bonuses don't grant you new abilities they simply add to an existing one granted by your class.
have a look at any other favoured class bonus none of them give you an ability you don't already have.
so no, he doesn't get to pick a new domain ability he can simply increase his existing one if he wants.
It does not grant new domain power - it only grants additional uses of domain power already possessed. "Select one clerical domain power at 1st level..." part refers to the fact that some domains can have more than one effect at 1st level (and probably is just a copy-paste matter from corresponding elven racial favored bonus concerning wizard school).
Thanks, that's what I thought. I just needed to have it clarified, because he was like "... but the rules say.."
hehehe one of 'those' players, just remember its your game and GM overrules ALL rules, your well within your rights to house rule anything which doesn't feel right, just be consistent and avoid changing things more than once.
also with that kind of player try and get him to lay out his character build concept so you can address any issues now rather than in 8 levels time when he picks something and and says now I can do "THIS" which would break your game, you say no and yeah .....
