Divine Domains

In The Domains of Dread, every class using the Divine spellbook selects upon character creation two divine domains. One divine domain must be from their ideoligion's associated divine domains but the second is free for the divine caster to choose so long as it is not anathema to their ideoligion, or unique to a different ideoligion. Paladins have access to Good as their first divine domain and either Protection, Strength or Light as their second divine domain only.

Spells awarded due to divine domain selection are added as spell-like abilities which may be cast once per rest, the caster level substituted for character level and cast as though the earliest spell circle of appearance.
