I have a few questions regarding this Prestige Class lets say that one would enter as a Cleric and have the Prestigious Spell Caster feat.
It has a feature called Focused Class Feature.
Focused Class Feature: Choose one of the following class features: animal companion, bane, bardic performance, blessings, channel energy, domain, favored enemy, favored terrain, sacred weapon, or wild shape. The character adds his Dawnflower anchorite class levels to his effective class level in one class of his choice for the purpose of determining the effects of the chosen class feature. This credence can be selected twice, but the Dawnflower anchorite must select a different class feature each time.
It says domain not domains.
I can read this a few different ways.
One it's a typo and both your domains go up accordingly.
Two, it says domain and it means one domain. It also counts as a separate class feature for each domain as it's specific to that domain and thus you can take it twice to get both domains.
Three, it say domain and it means one domain and you can only take it once as domain is a class feature.
Yeah I could have worded that better but you know what I mean.
If the answer is one I have no further questions.
If the answer if two or three then how do you do your domains spells for the domain not advanced? Remembering that I would take Prestigious Spell Caster.
I suspect it is option 1. There is no cleric class feature called "domain". There is only a class feature called "Domains". I would expect the wording to be more specific if it meant to split a single class feature into multiple class features the way you are describing for options 2 or 3.
Unless the Cleric class features were organized such that each domain was listed as a separate feature, they all fall under the heading of a single class feature, "domains" and the text in Dawnflower Anchorite is simply a typo.
It's definitely option 1. We can prove this using the War Blessing feat from the ACG:
Prerequisites: Mystery or domain class feature.
Benefit: Choose two warpriest blessings when you take this feat. Each of these blessings must be tied to a domain granted by your deity or to one of the two domains that represent your spiritual inclination and abilities. Twice per day, you can call upon the minor blessing from one or the other of your chosen blessings. This ability otherwise acts like the warpriest blessings class feature. Your effective warpriest level is the highest level that you have in the class that has the mystery or domain class feature.
The bolded text refers to how non-theistic clerics use the domains feature. CRB:
Domains: A cleric's deity influences her alignment, what magic she can perform, her values, and how others see her. A cleric chooses two domains from among those belonging to her deity. A cleric can select an alignment domain (Chaos, Evil, Good, or Law) only if her alignment matches that domain. If a cleric is not devoted to a particular deity, she still selects two domains to represent her spiritual inclinations and abilities (subject to GM approval). The restriction on alignment domains still applies...
Ergo, the "domains"(sic) feature MUST be considered the same as the "domain"(sic) feature.
Apologies I forgot about this thread on the weekend.
I thought it was most likely option 1 but I just like to be as sure as possible.
Thanks. Much appreciated. :)
