Cleric Domain that gives Favored Enemy?

[Veyr]

Does any exist? I haven't found one, but it seems fitting for a Domain-granted ability, so I'm hoping there's one out there that has it...

[Ernir]

I don't know of one.

You could search through Curmudgeon's domain list (http://home.comcast.net/~ftm3/ASMoNM/domains.html) yourself to see if I missed anything.

[Veyr]

:smallfrown: Ctrl+F doesn't find it... How comprehensive is that list?

[TroubleBrewing]

Pretty comprehensive. Can you work something out with your GM? Worship a custom "Herne the Hunter" style god that gives you the ability?

[Chuckthedwarf]

I think that many of the domains that gives you the ability to turn or rebuke some type of creatures would make sense giving Favored Enemy against something opposed.

For example, Water Domain could give Favored Enemy against Fire things, etc.

I don't think there are any non-homebrew domains that provide Favored Enemy...

[The Cat Goddess]

I would say "no" because it's simply trying to get around the requirement of taking Ranger levels to get into a Ranger PrC.

Maybe; I wanted to avoid asking cuz I feel like I've already bugged the DM in question enough, hah. Especially since he's semi-anti-homebrew and knowing myself that'd just open the floodgates.


I would say "no" because it's simply trying to get around the requirement of taking Ranger levels to get into a Ranger PrC.
That's precisely why I want it, hah. Of course, Rangers are awful, I'm not sure why you'd feel the need to foist them upon anybody.


Ways to gain a Favored Enemy:
Thank you, I'll look through that.

Knowledge Devotion feat gives you something that is functionally equivalent to Favored Enemy (and is generally better - wider array of opponents, and is to hit as well as damage). You can trade away the Knowledge Domain to get the feat, too...

[Veyr]

Heh, Knowledge Devotion is the reason I'm dipping Cleric in the first place... I hadn't considered that reasoning, though. I doubt my DM'd go for it, though, especially seeing as, ya know, I was doing it anyway.

In reality, I'm not sure it matters. The more I think about it, the more I feel like I probably wouldn't bother with the PrC in question anyway.

[Curmudgeon]

You can trade away the Knowledge Domain to get the feat, too...
You can do that, but you'd lose the skill benefit if you did so. Knowledge's granted power is what lets you learn all the 6 skills you need for Knowledge Devotion. Mostly I've seen this done with builds for a higher-level one-shot game, where you max out those 6 Knowledges for all the levels of the build, then do the conversion. (You don't lose skill ranks retroactively.)

Typically I use the Education feat to get all Knowledges as class skills for all classes, and then convert Knowledge domain to Knowledge Devotion.

[Coidzor]

What PrC do you even want?

[Veyr]

Impure Prince, which does have the alternative requirement of Gatekeeper Initiate, but that feat would be senseless for the character (since it's in Eberron and the character is very definitely not a Gatekeeper).

But more importantly: I'm not sure I'd even bother, even if I found a way. It's primarily a question of my own interest, which is why I've shied away from "Ask the DM" type solutions - if I really wanted it, I would, but it's more that I'm curious to see if it is an option.
