Looks like Necromantic Focus is working from your screenshot; you've got a tab for the Life sphere. Go to that tab and see if you have any bonus talents available (the first one needs to be spent on the sphere itself).

Domain talents do indeed appear to be broken. I've got a long day ahead of me.

Necromantic Focus gives you Life or Death, not both. It doesn't care which deity you worship.

[TheIronGolem]

A lot of things that give bonus talents are broken as well, like the various ART's from Expanded Options that give some fraction of a bonus talent. Working on it.

[TheIronGolem]

The Cleric domain talents issue is strange. It relies on domains being given Sphere tags through the Extend Thing mechanism, and that was definitely working before. For some reason it doesn't look like Extend Thing is working for me anymore; I get no errors from it but none of the Things I extend are getting the tags I assign.

I've filed a bug report with LW just in case, but I'll keep investigating.

EDIT: Witches are affected, too.

I just checked the ones I am using and they appear to all be working. That is really strange as I can't think of anything that should prevent that feature from working....

[TheIronGolem]

Well, this would be a good time to point out a new feature I forgot to mention: There's a new Adjustment that changes your talent count with a specific sphere. It's called "Magic Talents Known (Sphere-specific)". chaoscowboy (and anyone else with a Sphere Cleric/Witch), you should be able to use this to get your character properly set up while I figure out what's going on here.

I'm saying there's no option for negative necromantic focus. No option to get death sphere instead of life sphere. So it's still not working as intended. And also not getting the spheres from my domain(s).

Can you post your .por file? NF is working for me in that it switches between Life or Death depending on whether I choose to channel positive energy or negative. If that's not working for you then I need to inspect your character more closely.

EDIT: Also, I'm not 100% sure from your description/screenshot, but the solution to your problem may be in this post, if it's the issue I'm thinking of.

I love the new interface.

I've moved talents out of 'Magic Talents', and have selected them on the new 'Sphere Abilities' tab.
That then lists them under each sphere specific tab.
That makes it a lot easier to see what you have for a given sphere.





When I use 'Blank Form' on an alteration shapeshift, I'm getting the wildshape paw icon on armor items.
So they're being absorbed into the form, and their bonus disappears.

I believe this would be desired behavior for most forms, but not so for 'Blank Form'.

[TheIronGolem]

Dammit, Blank Form! I spent a lot of time making sure you worked right; I don't appreciate you sneaking in this kind of thing on me!

But readding those spheres caused the Magic Talent tab to reappear, showing both the base abilities of the sphere. Same goes for Alteration, Dark, Destruction: Admixture, Divination, Light, Easy Focus, Focus Casting and Magical Signs. Although the latter three originate from my racial caster, so that might another bug. Which brings me to:
* Racial caster hit dice seem to be broken right now. The fixed magic talents aren't fixed anymore, instead I could delete them from the magic talents tab. I suppose this thread needs an update.
* Destruction sphere doesn't show the increased damage cost anymore for 1 SP. Which would be nice to see in addition to the usual damage on the char sheet. Explosive Orb would be nice to include the same variant for, if you have Orb Expert. Speaking of which, does it really work? I have the feeling that the DC isn't increased at least.

Haven't been able to reproduce this one; when I check the increased damage box it displays the correct damage. The other issues are fixed in my current build.

EDIT: Fixed the Blank Form issue as well.
