Eloquence Domain
The Eloquence Domain turns persuasion, enchantment and irresistible speech into divine power. The version preserved here is third-party d20 material from Green Ronin’s Book of Fiends, not an official D&D SRD, Pathfinder, 5e/2014 or 2024 domain.

Granted Power
Once per day, when an opponent succeeds on a saving throw against one of your mind-affecting Enchantment spells, you can force that opponent to reroll the save. The second result stands even if it is better for the target. This is an extraordinary ability.

How the Eloquence Domain Plays
This domain is built around landing enchantments when they matter. Its once-per-day power is strongest against a target that has just resisted a crucial charm or compulsion, while the spell list steadily escalates from social influence to broad magical domination.
Who Should Grant the Eloquence Domain?
Use it for powers whose established portfolios genuinely include rhetoric, persuasion, beguilement or supernatural speech. The old page linked only to Ipos, but patron eligibility should follow the live deity or outsider page rather than an inherited one-name list.
What Are Eloquence Priests Doing Now?
Eloquence priests are negotiating impossible settlements, infiltrating courts, exposing false prophets, manipulating rival cults and hunting speakers whose words carry magical compulsion beyond ordinary persuasion.
