A Froggy Cleric's 2nd Domain


Advice


I'm going to be playing a Grippli Cleric of Gozreh in RotRL soon, and I can't decide on a second domain. My first domain is Frog.

I've been leaning toward Weather or Wind, but I need a little help thinking it through.


Bump. Maybe I need to provide more info?

Scarab Sages

I'd go with Swamp, personally. Very Thematic for a Grippli, and Blindsense/sight is pretty useful, even if it is limited to fog, vegetation, and water.

Dark Archive

Animal, to get a frog animal companion eventually?


The animal domain might be fun. You could ignore optimization and grab another Frog that way.

If you take the Animal domain, see if Animal Archive is an allowed book. The Boon Companion feat is very useful for rangers, animal domain clerics, and sylvan sorcerers.


@Imbicatus, I love the spells with the Swamp Domain, but the first ability is almost entirely useless for a Cleric, especially since none of my other players will have a companion.

@Victor, Javaed, and Castarr4, I like the Animal subdomains better than the domain itself, but my DM was a little weird when I suggested it. He didn't like the idea of me having both a familiar and an animal companion.

For a little background on the character, he grew up in the Mushfens, tribe was wiped out by boggards, left for Magnimar where he was a servant on a few ships, met a Cleric of Gozreh on a few voyages and learned about the faith from him, then was shipwrecked near the Eye of Abednego. He was eventually rescued by a merchant ship and ended up in Sandpoint. He lives just south of the town now, and spends most of his time fishing.

I was thinking Oceans or Wind might make sense, but I've never played a Cleric before.

It does give you double uses of Channel Energy though. You can use them to power a Grayflame weapon.

Hmm, interesting point. I wonder if I could use it for feats or other abilities.


Actually, would you be able to use it with a channel focus?

They're jungle-dwellers ordinarily, so Plant seems like it would be a natural choice. Entangle is nice to have.

Oh, wait. Gozreh... don't think it's an option for him/her. Water??

Plant and its subdomains are available to Gozreh.
