Believer's Boon (Advanced Class Guide p. 142)
This feat (abbreviated) reads as follows:
Believer’s Boon Your deity rewards you for your faithfulness. Prerequisites: Wis 13, alignment must be within one step of your deity’s. Benefit: Choose one domain granted by your deity. Once per day, you can use all 1st-level domain abilities granted to clerics of that domain. You gain access to this one ability only, not the higher-level domain ability, domain spells, or additional class skills that the domain might grant, or any bonus feats that are listed under its granted powers. Your effective cleric level in regard to this ability is 1st level.
The Luck Domain: (CRB p. 45)
Bit of Luck (Sp): You can touch a willing creature as a standard action, giving it a bit of luck. For the next round, any time the target rolls a d20, he may roll twice and take the more favorable result. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
So "once per day" means that the "Bit of Luck" would NOT be used "a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier", right?
Travel Domain: (CRB p. 47)
Granted Powers: You are an explorer and find enlightenment in the simple joy of travel, be it by foot or conveyance or magic. Increase your base speed by 10 feet.
How does this increase in speed work "once per day"? I do not see this falling under "not the higher-level domain ability, domain spells, or additional class skills that the domain might grant, or any bonus feats that are listed under its granted powers". I can see that the Darkness Domain has a Blind-Fight bonus feat that would be excluded by this rule but the Travel domain's increase in speed is not a feat.
You do not get increased base speed. You can once per day use agile feet ability. That's it, nothing more.
It's similar to eldritch heritage feats - you do not get bloodline arcana. Here you do not get passive domain ability.
Well at least that's how I read, understand it.
Such a let down; I was hoping this would give access to the Conversion Inquisition for my Monk without dipping.

I am disappointed as well. What initially sounded as promising turns out to be mediocre at best. Is there any domain that gives a power actually worth taking this boon for?
Trickery Domain can give your martial access to Mirror Image. Still, at only once per day I'm not sure it's worth a whole feat unless you have extra space in your build.

According to what?
Does it not say "you can use all 1st-level domain abilities granted to clerics of that domain"?
That means every ability listed under the domain for 1st-level clerics.
