Below are the various Domains you may select from. Each deity allows access to certain Domains, so be sure to check what your selected deity allows before choosing. The POWER listed under each Domain is the granted power that the deity bestows upon you for choosing that Domain. The SPELLS are what the deity grants you access to upon your gaining access to each spell level, usable once per day each.
If you are confused on how spells work, because you are a first time gamer, or do not play spellcasters often, PLEASE read this ERRATA on how to read spells. It is extremely useful and is written by D&D official, Skip Williams.
Changes from the FORGOTTEN REALMS Campaign Setting
The list of deities for each domain includes a few changes from the domain list in the FORGOTTEN REALMS Campaign Setting. The addition of the Cold and Repose domains (the latter introduced in Faiths and Pantheons) requires some slight shifting of domains. The affected deities are:
Auril: Air, Cold, Evil, Storm.
Jergal: Fate, Law, Repose, Rune, Suffering.
Kelemvor: Fate, Law, Protection, Repose, Travel.
Osiris: Good, Law, Plant, Repose, Retribution.
Ulutiu: Animal, Cold, Law, Ocean, Protection.
Urogalan: Earth, Halfling, Law, Protection, Repose.
We use D&D domains as well as other d20 systems, so if it is wrong in your D&D book, it is because we have added new domains from other books, some have the same domain name. Please choose which domain you'd like to use. Sometimes they can be completely different from each other (having different powers AND spells).
If the DM wishes, this rule may change or be omitted entirely, so please ask if you are unsure, he may want you to use D&D spells only, so it's important to ask.
