Can a cleric pick more than one sub-domain for the same associated domain?

[Nicodemos]

Can a cleric pick more than one sub-domain for the same associated domain? I have not been able to find anything specifically that says he can't, though there are rules prohibiting him from taking a sub-domain from two different associated domains or from taking a sub-domain as well as it's associated domain.

As an example, for the Glory domain, there are the sub-domains of Heroism and Honor. The replacement powers do not overlap, so one might think that one could take both sub-domains. However, both sub-domains have replacement spells of 6th level, which obviously do overlap. If both sub-domains are allowed, how would the 6th level replacement spell be determined? Player's choice perhaps?

You can't have two sub-domains of the same domain.

I thought that was probably the case - I just couldn't find anything on it.

Ya it comes down to the fact that you can't select the same domain twice and picking a subdomain modifies the associated domain and replaces it. Having the Honor subdomain qualifies you for abilities and feats that require the Glory domain. So in that sense they are the same.

Well, there are two problems:

1: Any overlap in Archetypes disqualifies. Sub-domains are like archetypes, so even the spells overlapping triggers the rule.

2: As RtrnofdMax Stated, a sub-domain replaces the regular domain. Therefore, when you try to take the second sub-domain, the original domain no longer exists to replace, so you can't do it.

By saying that sub-domains are like archetypes, are you saying then that you can't have an archetype and a sub-domain?

No, he's not saying that at all. "Like" doesn't mean "the same as".
