Liberation Domain

[mike.xulima]

How do people feel about it? I don't see it mentioned much here, but the Freedom’s Call ability has been making fights that were about impossible (against enemies like Nixie Tricksters) in to fairly easy encounters so long as I keep the entire party in its range.

Confusion is hell of a drug, er spell, but with Freedom’s Call up it's harmless. I'm not really seeing anything else that can protect like that.

Liberation is a solid domain, for sure. The issue is that a couple of domains, like animal and community, are so blatantly overpowered that you weaken yourself comparatively by selecting a domain that is "only" above-average.

My party has a Cleric with both of those domains (Longbow as the Deity's weapon is just icing on the cake).

So I took Liberation for my Inquisitor. Has saved my party's bacon a few times and turned nearly impossible (for level 8ish characters anyway) battles in to cake walks.

It's funny how unbalanced the domains are. Some are actually harmful to use most of the time ("if you waste a standard action you produce a minor effect which isn't nearly strong enough to compensate for your wasted action"). And then there are Animal ("gain an extra party member which gets fully healed/resurrected/restored whenever you rest!") and Community ("faceroll any fight once/day!")... and you can even get them both at the same time.

This is of course an inherent problem with the pathfinder ruleset, not with the computer game itself.

OT: Yeah, Liberation is cool, one of my favorite domains.

You guys are forgetting abadar nobility domain and trickery that is the only real way for a divine caster to get any semblance of melee viability for most of the game. Also luck is ok.
