Why should a divine spellcaster who is becoming a god in his own right be worse off than a barbarian or rogue?brad2411 wrote:I would say a N cleric would still have to take 2 domains that his god had.

You only will gain the domain power if you have the abiltiy of domains.</p>
<p>2) Any neutral character (NG, LN, N, CN, NE) gets to choose one (or two) domains. A true neutral character gets to choose any two domains it wants, since their aren't any Neutral domains.</p>
<p>3) Looking at subdomains in the APG, you only need to pick a domain as the subdomains come along with the ride. The last sentence is premised on the mythic character not picking an alignment domain (since each alignment domain has three subdomains associated with them). I say this because a Neutral character could be generous and pick all 4 alignment domains.</p>
<p>4) Yes, by taking a class that includes the casting of spells from a domain as a class feature. You already have access to the domains as per the sixth and seventh sentences of the ability.</p>

</p>
2) Can a neutral aligned character select any two domains he wishes, or do they still have to be alignment domains?
<br />
3) Can the original 2 domains you choose be subdomains?
<br />
4) Can the user of this ability choose to venerate himself as a deity and therefore grant himself domains? Or can he only grant other people domains?
<br />
5) What does "you may change your spell domains to those you grant others" mean? Does it mean you can still only have 2 domains, or does it mean you can change the domains you give others? Wording here seems really clunky.</p>
<p>My 2 copper... seems like a pretty solid ability either way. Especially if you can grant yourself domains.
