Domain Spells & Powers Each domain’s page gives its available spells, powers and requirements. Use one edition’s rules throughout.
A domain is a sacred sphere of power: the storm a priest calls down, the wound they close, the secret they uncover or the threshold they guard. It shapes both the magic a cleric commands and the duties their faith places upon them.

Using Domains in Play
Use the features, spell lists and level progression from the edition you are playing. A familiar domain name can have different powers in another ruleset. Official rules, playtest options and adaptations are identified where they appear on the individual domain pages.
Pathfinder subdomains refine an associated domain by replacing specified powers and spells. Apply those replacements within Pathfinder 1e; use the separate rules provided for other editions.
Sources & Licensing
Each domain page includes the sources and licensing for its own rules. Consult those references alongside the matching cleric class rules when building your character.
