Ecclesitheurge domain mastery and spontaneous cure spells


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade

Because of the domain mastery ability, an ecclesitheurge can prepare a domain spell from their primary domain in a non-domain slot. Can they lose that domain spell in a non-domain slot to spontanously cast a cure spell? The wording of the spontaneous casting ability says 'non-domain spell,' but that was written before any clerics could cast domain spells in non-domain slots.

The Exchange

i would say yes. it is a spell slot just filled with an unusual spell.

Silver Crusade

I'm going to bump this once, so that hopefully more people will see it.


I saw it, I just didn't really have anything more to contribute.

My opinion is the same as Jeff's.

No. Most of the similar classes that allow domain spells to be prepared in non-domain slots also speficially ban sacrificing them for spontaneous spells. The Theologin, for example.

The Ecclesitheurge doesn't suggest that this changes, so your stuck with the rules as written. Could still ask your GM to houserule it - nothing broken about changing it, just not what it says.


I agree with Murdock. Regardless of the slot you use a Damoain Spell is a Domain Spell and you can't 'lose' it to spontaneously cast Cure/Inflict X Wounds.
