Cleric Question

[GoblinGilmartin]

When a cleric levels up, does he loose access to the previous level's domain spell? (ex. Strength domain, a cleric with Bull's Strength cannot choose Enlarge person as their domain spell)

[tyckspoon]

..that's a bizarre interpretation. No. The domain spells are a permanent part of that cleric's spell list; the only difference is that, if the domain spell is not part of the regular Cleric list as well, the Cleric can only prepare a domain spell in his bonus domain slot.

You know you get a domain slot of each (non-orison) spell level you can cast, right?

[GoblinGilmartin]

the way they wrote it was confusing me, this makes sense now...

As I understood it, a Cleric gets the spells per day for its level, plus any for its Wisdom score, as general Cleric spell slots, in which it can prepare any spell on the general Cleric list of its spell level or lower. Simultaneously, for spell level one and up, there exists a domain spell slot, in which a Cleric can prepare either of the spells of that level or lower from its domain(s) list(s). There is nothing stopping a 20th-level Cleric from filling its domain slots from first to ninth with a level one spell.
