If the DM were a deity what would their domains be?

[Naez]

Title. And I don't mean your DM I just mean in general.

The reason being I want to involve a small cult in my games that worships Gi'em, the controller of creation.

I'm thinking Creation, Fate, Knowledge, Law, and Luck. What do you guys think?

[Invader]

I would say planning.

[Darkweave31]

Community, planning, knowledge, lust in the case of DMing for a lover

[Honest Tiefling]

I would say planning.

You guys clearly don't have DMs like most of the people I've played with. Personally, I'd say the Law Domain, because without that, well, the games can get troublesome if the DM is not careful.

[AmberVael]

Madness and Suffering probably fit in somewhere. :smalltongue:

[Invader]

Domination

[Milo v3]

Trickery maybe?

[Xalos]

All of the Above. . And all of the Below.... And all of the sideways, upsidedown and inverted. The DM owns all domains!

[DrMotives]

We've all had those DMs with vengeance domain in their portfolio.

[Vinyl Scratch]

Earth.

Rocks fall, everyone dies.

[bekeleven]

Destiny hasn't been mentioned. ALL HAIL THE ENGINEER, FOR YOU SHALL KNOW HIM BY HIS RAILROAD TRACKS.

[Kid Jake]

Most DMs wield the custom domains of Fiat and RAW. Fiat's domain power allows a secret +/- 5 to a single roll to avoid a TPK or if what you're trying to do just sounds badass. RAW mostly just lets you start fights that go nowhere.

Earth.

Rocks fall, everyone dies.

Sometimes you just have to open a gate to the paraelemental plane of falling rocks above someone's head.

[Inevitability]

I'd add Time.

But TBH, a better question would be what domains the DM doesn't have.

[Saintheart]

If Lord Ao has a domain, the DM probably has it.

[Vhaidara]

You guys clearly don't have DMs like most of the people I've played with. Personally, I'd say the Law Domain, because without that, well, the games can get troublesome if the DM is not careful.

As a GM who seems to be having decent success, I laughed at this. My GMing is like an exercise in Chaos Theory.

For my domains...Fiat, Chaos, Badassery, and Other.
