Double check: Multi-classing Clerics and Druids


Rules Questions

Scarab Sages

If I've got one class with a selected Domain and I add a level of another class with domain access, does one class restrict/alter my Domains from the other class?

Example. Druid has no deity, but takes the Fire Domain. During play, I find my faith and become a cleric. Is the cleric obligated to also pick the fire Domain, Do the stacked domains stack levels? Or am I unable to pick duplicate domains?

For example. Druid has +5 wisdom modifier. I take fire Domain. That's 8 uses of Fire Bolt (Sp) per day. If I take a level of cleric, do I effectively have 16 uses of Fire Bolt per day, or do the levels stack for domain purposes, or am I unable to pick the same domain twice on the same character?

PS: if it matters, this is a Core PFS character. He's still level 1, so I've got a few sessions to figure this out.


I would say this FAQ is relevant.

No—unless an ability specifically says it stacks with similar abilities (such as an assassin's sneak attack), or adds in some way based on the character's total class levels (such as improved uncanny dodge), the abilities don't stack and you have to use them separately. Therefore, cleric channeling doesn't stack with paladin channeling, necromancer channeling, oracle of life channeling, and so on.

Since the Domain ability doesn't specify it stacks with other classes, you must track it separately.

For Domain choice, you would follow the restrictions of each class you are picking a domain for, and one would have no bearing on the choices for another class.
