Can I change a domain (not a deity)? If so, when and how?

[TechieMoe]

I have a third-level Cleric of Sarenrae with the Healing and Fire domains. Fire hasn't really proven all that useful to me, so I'd like to rework it to something else, maybe Glory.

I've seen threads on changing deities, but not on changing domains while keeping the same deity. Is it legal to change domains? Does it require GM approval or something like an atonement?

You might want to check the retraining rules for relevant info.

[Jeff Merola]

Changing Domains is legal if you own Ultimate Campaign and follow the outlined retraining rules, paying the listed gold cost and an additional 1 prestige per day it would take.

Ah! I see the section on that. Thanks.

Also, the reason Fire hasn't been that great might be that you're not high enough level to start chucking fireballs yet. Just sayin'.

Yes. My Paladin with the Fire Domain absolutely loves it. Nothing is quite like a Paladin stepping up and saying "Don't worry, I can handle the swarms." and letting loose with Burning Hands and Fireballs.

The Fire Domain was extremely entertaining for my spouse's PFS Druid.

Also fire resist 10 at level 6 is pretty sweet. And produce flames is a really good spell, even at level 2.

Does fire bolt work against swarms? I'll keep it if that's the case. Common annoyance with the groups I play - no one has anything to deal with swarms.

No, but almost all of your Fire Domain spells work on them (barring fire resistance or immunity).

Ah, good to know.

Quite right. I've yet to encounter a swarm that enjoys being fireballed.

That's because that scenario is retired.

[Victor Zajic]

Burning Hands, Fire Ball, and Wall of Fire all work on swarms.

Why? Can you explain?

Not sure about Victor's reasoning, but getting a ranged touch attack is never a bad thing.

And I think there may be a swarm in a non-retired scenario that wouldn't mind fireball, but I haven't read the scenario, just experienced it, so far.
