I'm pretty sure there's a feat out there to get, say, cleric spells, but I can't remember what it's called, what it does exactly, or even where it is. Help me out playground.

Arcane Disciple from Complete Divine will let you add one Cleric domain to your list of arcane spells.

Then is there a domain that grants the planar ally spells?

Summoning Domain (http://www.realmshelps.org/cgi-bin/domain.pl?Summoning) has them. All the other spells on it are Sor/Wiz though.

They're still a handful of spells I don't have to get from somewhere else.

Thanks for the help guys.

What would be your recommendations for a conjurer's banned schools?

Depends. Enchantment and Evocation are the usuals, but if you plan on using Dominate-line on Conjured creatures eventually, Evocation and Necromancy is also an option. Conjuration provides you with your damage. Rest are gravy. Abju has key-things to go with Conjurations so can't lose that.

Why would you need Dominate? Aren't the summoned monsters already under your control?

Yes, but Called ones aren't. Can be convenient with Planar Bindings & Gate, though obviously not necessary. The Cha-check is easy enough to force service out of stuff with Planar Binding anyways, and Gate comes with a built-in "you're my bitch"-clause.

You could ban all three for an extra Conj spell per spell level, a la Focused Specialist (C. Mage). Nets you almost as many spells as a Sorcerer.

In 3.5, I advise nixing Ench/Necro. In Pathfinder, Divination/Ench.

What 3 domain abilities would you consider to be the best ones to get through the CC alternate class feature?

Inquisition is the best if you plan on casting Dispel Magic ever. Its a +4 untyped bonus on dispel checks. Its NOT subject to the standard CL10 cap that Dispel Magic is, or the CL20 cap that Greater Dispel Magic is.

Otherwise, Pride is nice for the rerolling all 1s on saves, and Destiny is fair for the ability to make any ally (including yourself) reroll any one save. Luck allows you to reroll ANY roll.

If you're trying to pick up the Planar Ally spells, you should definitely look into the Thaumaturgist prestige class. At the 5th level it grants Planar Cohort, which at the level you'd typically get it (12th) you can have a Ghaele Eladrin as your cohort. That gets 14th level Cleric spellcasting and some useful/strong at-will spell-like abilities, like Hold Monster, Charm Monster, and Cure Light Wounds. Its other abilities make it an extremely powerful melee combatant as well, so it will likely be the most powerful member of your party for quite a while.

That's why I picked it up. I've created a Wizard 3/Master Specialist 10/Thaumaturgist 2 (15 level game) specializing on conjurations.

How are you qualifying for the Domain ACF with Wizard3?

It just says you give up the bonus feats. It's a 1st level ability because it also gets rid of Scribe Scroll.

Nope, strictly the bonus feats and at 5th, 10th, etc..

Level: 5th, 10th, 15th, or 20th.

Oh... ok then, I guess I can't get a Domain ability.
