More a technical question now - does Scalykind domain's "turn animals like undead" power actually do anything in game? Rolled up a potential 2nd PC, I had wondered if there'd be a feat to drag off the character sheet about that topic to the quick-bar thing, and there wasn't. Unless just clicking the "regular" turn undead does some kind of checking if you're a scaly guy (or elemental turning guy or spider turning guy or whatever, several domains talk about "you can turn (something else!)")
If NWN2 kept the same mechanics in this regard as NWN1 then you will always use a regular Turn Undead attempt to turn animals as well. There's no separate feat or spell-like ability for that.

But ooh, Scalykind. Do I sense a certain dragongod cult on the rise? ;)

Why isn't there a "Spell" domain for my future Mystra Cleric? :(

SPELL DOMAIN
Forgotten Realms Deities: Azuth, Mystra, Savras, Thoth.

Granted Power: You gain a +2 bonus on Concentration checks and Spellcraft checks.

Spell Domain Spells

1. Mage Armor: Gives subject +4 armor bonus.
2. Silence: Negates sound in 15' radius.
3. Anyspell: Prepare any arcane spell up to 2nd level.
4. Rary's Mnemonic Enhancer: Prepares extra spells or retains one just cast.
5. Break Enchantment: Frees subject from enchantments, alterations, curses, and petrification.
6. Anyspell, Greater: Prepare any arcane spell up to 5th level.
7. Limited Wish: Alters reality—within spell limits.
8. Antimagic Field: Negates magic within 10'.
9. Mordenkainen's Disjunction: Dispels magic, disenchants magic items.
pragmatic (adj.)

is sensible, grounded, and practical.

I dunno!

Maybe you should offer to help tech put it in. Seems a lot more likely you would see it in there that way.

The domains added were primarily low-hanging fruit, with extra effort only directed toward domains that would fill out domain lists for specific deities if said deity would not otherwise have enough domains. PC hides were not/are not stable or reliable, thus arbitrary skill bonuses couldn't be easily added, and Mystran clerics have enough domains to be clerics already.

Reposting the definition doesn't improve that circumstance any. Rest assured that everyone on tech has Google, and the Wizards of the Coast website still hosts all of the FR-specific 3.5 domains.

Reposting it was to show the absurdity of retarded spells on the list.
