Subdomains and Prerequisites

[Dresdran]

So I was looking around on the Archives of Nethys when I ran into a feat called Spontaneous Nature's Ally and one of the prerequisites is that I need the Animal or Plant domain. My question is if I took the Feather or Growth subdomain would it still count or would I be s!+$ out of luck?

[Rysky]

Well since Subdomains jut modify rather than outright replace I would say yes.

I would say they count for prereqs unless they replace an ability needed for the feat in question to work.

Subdomains:

Subdomains are treated as equivalent to their associated domain for any effect or prerequisite based on domains.

No hedged language or table variation about it, subdomains definitely count as their parent domains for the purpose of meeting prerequisites and any other effects.

Also this.

Ah, didn't see that. Thanks for that. I've been contemplating a Kami Cleric of sorts, a cleric that uses the Ring of Natural Attunement(Kami) to summon Kami. Good to know I can pick up the Growth Subdomain, the Plant Domain abilities are kind of crap.

Presto revivo, I've got another question regarding subdomains. This time it's the Divine Paragon archetype. Can I have Divine Paragon's ability that replaces one set of domain abilities affect a subdomain?

Why not? A subdomain is still a domain offered by your deity.
