| | | That is exactly what i mean, but just a thought can you actually have a goblin et al. as a domain? I thought domains were more philiopshies your god followed and less with respect to their actual followers.

This pretty much functions in a similar way as those domains do. The FRCS and 'Players Guide to Faerun' do list these in their entirety.
Note: PGtF is for 3.5 Edition, so there are some differences (mainly in spells) between each incarnations of these domains. |

| | Sorry for the delayed response. I have a question then, can anything under the sun be a domain? Because that would make the concept of domains rather weak. I have a domain in getting drunk, like the chinese art of "drunk fighting".
Also any progress on the rest of your domains? Once you have listed some more we could help you out and find some spells.

| It's possible, but then again, you also might want to consider the fact that some domains have to have some boundaries:
- What spells will this domain have?
- What is the domain power?
- How powerful will this make a Cleric with this domain?
- Which deity provides this domain?
- How significant is this portfolio/domain concept to the world of Faerun?
- Could this domain idea possibly be covered by a different domain? For instance, multiple deities have the Protection domain, but their emphasis may be for a different reason. Two orc deities, Gruumsh and Ilneval, both have the War domain. Gruumsh focuses on battle without civility, while Ilneval focuses on a more strategic war (also a reason why he has the Planning domain). So, to say that War is War in the case of the deity's emphasis is not entirely true.
One deity having a similar domain to another deity does not mean they have to copy the portfolio of another deity. It may be the same domain, but there are different reasons for each deity to have their domains.
You really have to consider if there are really deities that insist upon making some concept a part of a deities power, or just their lifestyle. For instance, the core D&D deity Olidamarra does have wine-making in his portfolio, but not exactly emphasized in a domain. Then again, the Dungeon Master would have to really judge what could be approved, in the end. Quote: |

I've been kept busy with college first and foremost, this being the toughest semester of all. On the topic of "helping me find some spells," I would be curious where you intend to find these. It might help, but overall I'm pretty much letting this whole matter slide as I deal with my increasing workload off of the computer.  |

The Vigilance Domain seems to have a underpowered power compared to other domains. |
I think the power on this Domain is great, these are some of the best skills in the game to have and few classes get them, plus couple it w/ an elf w/ Alertness feat, you'll catch everything, the spells are a little weak though, maybe make some available earlier.. |

| | | Well, after a long hiatus...
As I promised, here's a new domain for those dastardly Dwarves of the Underdark. 
Duergar Domain
Deities: Deep Duerra, Laduger
Domain Power: You gain 'Iron Will' as a bonus feat
Domain Spells -
Level 1: Magic Weapon
Level 2: Invisibility
Level 3: Invisibility Sphere
Level 4: Greater Magic Weapon
Level 5: Fabricate
Level 6: Wall of Iron
Level 7: Mass Invisibility
Level 8: Mind Blank
Level 9: Gate (Can traverse planes, but can only summon Devils)
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any suitable spells for levels 6 and 7 in ANY of the books I have now. Gotta get the Player's Handbook, at this point.

| |  Good news
Well, as of now, the Duergar and Vigilance domains all have spells.
I just got the PHB today, so that should make things MUCH easier.

| | I was kidding ofcource. 
Yeah, Christmas, all of December is a financial disaster anyway...
How about Meld into stone on level 3?
Invisibility is good but Duergar get that spell for free. This way they have 2, perhaps Darkness or Knock (although this is a wizard spell). or Soften Earth and Stone or Shatter?

I was thinking about Magic Vestment instead, but w/ having Magic Weapon and Greater Magic Weapon, I thought I was starting to make the domain look a bit too much like the War Domain.
I haven't heard as much about Gray Dwarves dealing with stone as much as metal, so I'm thinking I might need your counsel a bit more on the level 2 spell.
And don't forget, a number of those spells are actually Sorcerer/Wizard spells anyways.

| |  Walking tall... and kicking arse.
Well, in the meantime, here's the start of the other domain I promised
Giant Domain
Deities: Annam, Grolantor, Hiatea, Iallanis, Memnor, Skoraeus Stonebones, Stronmaus, Surtr, Thrym, Vaprak
Domain Power: You gain Power Attack as a feat.
Domain Spells -
Level 1: True Strike
Level 2: Bull's Strength
Level 3: Shatterfloor (Magic of Faerun)
Level 4: Crushing Despair
Level 5: Wall of Force
Level 6: Bull's Strength, Mass
Level 7: Symbol of Weakness
Level 8: Earthquake
Level 9: Power Word: Kill
Is it me, or the Domain Power the shakiest part of it?

Plus they have the Stonecutting feat, this means +2 search for unusual stonework, they get a automatic search check if they move withing 10 feat of unusual stonework as if he was activly searching, he can find stone traps like a rogue and he can intuit dept sencing his approximate dept underground.
Darkness is probably a bit lame because Drow can already do that. I'd pick Soften Earth and Stone or perhaps Shatter.

Because of their natural armor?

Edit: Changed Level 3 Giant spell.
