    Exactly as the title states. Cleric ... choice of domains: Which one would YOU choose?

    I like the silverstar of selune (I think that is what it is anyway), mainly because of the level 9 damain spell, elemental legion. This spell is awesome, especially for HoF.

    Oghma's, hands down. The reason should be obvious enough.

    I don't know much about the domains. Is there anywhere that tells you what their unique spells are?

    Actually, the reason for Oghma fandom isn't obvious to me...care to explain? Curious.

    I think there's something wrong with my domain spells. I haven't had to choose any since level 1. The only one I have is Faerie Fire (I have a Silverstar of Selune). In all the times I've played the game, I don't remember ever having domain spells beyond the first level. Anyone know what's going on?

    Just go to your spellbook and press the Domain tab and then the numbers down the side. The available spells should be there.

    I like Battleguard of Tempus the most.
    A straight and plain cleric with a nice combat bonus, not a pseudo-mage.

    Bane!! Cool attitude, nice with an evil god and a good bonus!
    But Lathander, Talos and Oghma has slightly better domain spells.

    The Bane bonus is a pretty big benefit to taking that Domain. Most overlooked domain seems to be Demarch of Mask.

    Well said Harbourboy!
    My favourite is the Demarch of Mask - the tank in my 2 man party is part Demarch. As this character is Drow, part Rogue and part Monk, the domain attributes match my character nicely.
    I like the fact that every domain spell can be an arcane spell.

    He is the patron god of Bards. :p
    The low level domain spells of the clerics of Oghma include a variety of spells like Dispell Magic, Invisibility Purge, Identify and Malison. These spells are useful throughout the game, but oftentimes we simply can't burden our arcane casters with these so we usually end up skipping them.
    The high level domain spells are mostly offensive-type - testaments that knowledge is indeed power. Executioner's Eyes, Wail of the Banshee and the Symbol spells number among them.
