I hate you forever.
Wizards getting clerical domains is retarded.

Re: Wizards getting clerical domains is retarded.
And you can take it more than once, so now Wizards can gain access to many more domains than Clerics. Praise the Lord.
Re: Wizards getting clerical domains is retarded.
WOOT! No more dipping into contemplative!
Re: Wizards getting clerical domains is retarded.
Well, it appears you ONLY get the spells, not the Domain ability. So Contemplative dipping will continue...

Re: Wizards getting clerical domains is retarded.
As I've said before, there is no balance issue with Wizards getting Cleric spells.
Wizards have an inferior chasis, so from a conceptual standpoint, things are unbalanced if the Cleric gets access to spells that the wizard wants to cast but can't. Not the other way around.
That being said, there are many specific combinations which are laughably unbalanced when you get access to arcane and divine spells. They are more unbalanced by a lot if you port them from Wizard to Celric - but having the same person cast Divine Power and Tenser's Transformation is all kinds of funny.
In the funny-broken kind of way.
Fundamentally, I don't think the Cleric should exist as a separate class. What people actually want from Clerics is to distinguish themselves and have secret spells and such. They should do that by playing Wizards. All pretense of a special "Cleric list" should be dropped.
