Adding domain spells to spell list

[GLBIV]

Greetings all,

I'm working on adding the Nightcloak prestige class from FR Faiths and Pantheons, and I'm stumped by the very first class ability.

The Darkness Spells ability allows the cleric to cast any spell from the darkness domain, like darkbolt, in normal spell slots.

Any ideas about how to rig that up without getting validation messages?

Also, what's the exp-req for a domain prereq? #hasdomain?,

Also, what's the exp-req for a domain prereq? #hasdomain?,

I don't believe there is a #hasdomain expression. How I've seen the pre-req "must have access to cleric domain x" handled in the past is to use a script to require the minimum cleric levels required to have access to that domain, thusly:

tagcount[Classes.Cleric] >= 1

That said, Darkness should be adding a tag to the hero called "Domain.Darkness" when selected. However, a quick look shows that the "new" version from the community set over-writes the original and doesn't do that. If you are using the community set, I would recommend going into the file "Spell Comp Domains.user" and modify the Darkness2 entry to add that tag (if you need an example of how to do this, do New (Copy) and select Darkness). Then, you should be able to run a check for the Domain.Darkness tag to validate. In the meantime, I'll take a look at the domains and make sure all domains are adding tags appropriately.

As for your first question, I don't have an answer to that right now. I can try taking a look, but I won't have time until next week at the earliest.

Thanks very much.

So far, so good.

Now, the class requires the character to have either Tenacious Magic or Pernicious Magic, so how can I write a an exp-req for that?

#hasfeat[fPernicMag], or #hasfeat[fTenaciMag] <>0 ?

I'm new to this, if you can't tell.

Try this:

#hasfeat[fPernicMag] + #hasfeat[fTenaciMag] <> 0

I also recommend searching for feats and/or prestige classes that have similar pre-reqs. Most of what you want to do is probably done elsewhere (although some of the domain stuff you want to do might not be).

I've worked around the Darkness domain spell issue by simply ignoring it!

I decided to go with the nightcloak prc that's in the Complete Divine errata release. It has a different power called Might of Darkness that adds +2 caster level for spells with the darkness descriptor. It's probably better to go with the 3.5 version anyway. That was easy.

I'd still like to figure out how to write a feat or ability that allows access to (or adds) spells from other class lists so I could get the FR initiate feats written.

Anyone know anything about that?

Scratch that. I can make the spells and add

#hasfeat[fxxxx] <>0 as an exp-req. That should work.
