Does anyone know of an extant feat, class ability, or the like that would allow a cleric to gain a new domain?
And, if not, does anyone see anything horribly overpowered in allowing a cleric to pick up a new domain with a feat?
My inclination is that it wouldn't be a problem: The slotting of additional spells into the domain spell slot seems like a marginal benefit and most of the domain powers I'm reviewing wouldn't seem particularly overpowered if they were actually feats in the first place. But I wanted to bounce the idea off other people.
For example, the cleric in my campaign who wants to do this currently has Strength and Healing as his domains. He wants to gain the Sun domain. The "greater turning" ability is basically identical to the ability granted by the Disciple of the Sun feat (from Complete Divine) except that the greater turning ability is limited to once per day while the Disciple of the Sun feat requires you to expend two turning attempts to create the effect. So it's fairly equivalent, in my estimation. (If anything, I'd call Disciple of the Sun the better option.)
