1.can the runeforger ability be used on natural weapons?
2.im confused,why is there spells on the "steel spells" list already on the cleric spell list like shatter?
3.can armor runes be inscribed on clothing?(im feeling no but i just want conformation)
1) Though it seems like it should be restricted to manufactured weapons, nothing in the rules of the ability actually states that it must be. Natural attack would be valid targets as they are weapons.
2) Because domain spells aren't always good. Look at healing domain. All of those are on the cleric spell list. Good domains typically give you spells that aren't on your normal list.
3) Clothing is not armor. The only time we see clothing counting as armor is for Magic Vestment. That being said, I would allow it. Especially since literally everyone can wear a haramaki. It costs 3 gp, provides +1 to AC, has a max dex of 10, no armor check penalty, and no arcane spell failure chance. There is literally no reason that you couldn't be wearing at least this as armor.
2. so those count as domain spells to use, not locking me down to the crap artifice spells?
3.well if your a monk you dont want any armor
Actually, rereading that archetype the Steel Spells ability is quite s@~$ty.
I was going off memory, and thought that the archetype gave you a specific sub-domain that granted different spells. But the way the ability is written it actually just adds spells to your spell list. Which doesn't do anything for a cleric if the spell is already on the cleric spell list.
Well, that's really quite terrible. So no, you still have to use the crappy artifice domain spells.
As for enchanting clothing...the only semi-useful enchantment you could place would be Invulnerability. However, it's DR/magic. Which by level 8 most things are going to ignore (remember any +1 weapon ignores it or any natural weapon who's possessor also has DR/magic).
well artifice spells arent ALL s*@! major and minor fabricate has numerous uses, and i always wanted to turn a locked door into a useless wooden ball with wood shape so i can just roll it out of the way
the artifice domain's POWERS on the other hand are s%+! smearingly awful
