Talk:Infiltration (3.5e Cleric Domain)

Does anyone have any comments on this domain?--TheDarkWad (talk) 18:40, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Well, while greater dispel magic shouldn't be a higher spell level than dispel magic, that doesn't mean you're not seriously changing the game by putting it at an even lower level.

Also, not sure about greater invisibility, since I got the impression that this domain was supposed to be about sneaking past objects. --174.61.170.65 19:45, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

I'll chime in since you asked. I'm getting some concern about the inclusions of greater dispel and antipathy at such low levels. I'm also trying to figure out how antipathy fits in thematically. So, care to explain what you were thinking here and why you made these decisions? Also, gaining Trapfinding as a reddish cosmetic used highlight the cheeks seems like a weird inclusion. You might want to reconsider that ability. Now, a rogue's Trapfinding might be better. --Ganteka Future (talk) 20:58, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

I'm a little down on the domain power. Trapfinding is an OK premise, but I always thought the SRD's execution of it was kind of poor. And then giving bonus class skills as a domain power is pretty boring, as well. I honestly don't have a ton of suggestions, although I think if you wanted a much stronger and more useful domain power (which I think is more of what they should be like because the SRD ones are so god-awful) Hide in Plain Sight is a good place to start.

As for the spells, I totally agree with greater dispel magic at level 1. Dispel magic having an arbitrary level cap on its dispel bonus is just flat-out stupid, and GDM can just replace it for all intents and purposes as far as I'm concerned (although perhaps sans the break enchantment bit). Knock makes most of your bonus class skills obsolete as soon as level 3, further supporting the idea of a new domain power.

Antipathy seems an odd fit, not so much because of the level (although I think it's more of a 4) but because it doesn't seem to gel all that much with the infiltration theme unless you are trying to steal something and get everyone the hell away from it. I understand that that is a potential use, but I don't know if that alone merits its inclusion in the domain. If you are looking for replacements, true darkness is a homebrew possibility while detect scrying and major image could be SRD alternatives.

Greater Invis is fine for me. Phantasmal Assassin kind of deviates a bit, but can work. If you want another option, mislead seems to fit. Everything else seems legit. - TG Cid (talk) 01:57, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
