What does the divination domain do?


Rules Questions


The Ancstral Spirits show Divination as one of their domains. But somehow I can't find this domain.
Can anyone tell me what that domain does or which domain the ancstral spirits should have instead of that one?

BTW I found other pages with write-ups of the ancestral spirits and all of them list the divination domain.


There are a few 3.5 sources featuring a divination domain, but I couldn't find a PF source for it.

According to this ENWorld thread, there is a Divination domains in WotC's Defenders of the Faith and Oriental Adventures, which was renamed as an Oracle domain for Complete Divine and Spell Compendium.

In addition to those, I found a Divination domain in Unearthed Arcana, for the "Domain Wizard" section.

The Spell Compendium Oracle domain featured the following:
Granted Power: You cast all divination spells at +2 caster level.
Domain Spells: 1 - identify; 2 - augury; 3 - divination; 4 - scrying; 5 - commune; 6 - legend lore; 7 - greater scrying; 8 - discern location; 9 - foresight

As for which domain the author of Fortress of the Stone Giants intended, or which domain should be used, that's perhaps best asked in the "Ask James Jacobs.." thread.


Thanks for this answer.


Just for reference, the sourcebook in which Ancestral Spirits can be found was written about 2 years before Pathfinder existed.

I have no idea why that domain was dropped during the conversion from 3.5, other than to hazard a guess that those are the most irritating spells of all time (for many GMs) so maybe the authors didn't want to encourage GM irritation.
