Madness Domain

You embrace the madness that lurks deep in your heart, and can unleash it to drive your foes insane or to sacrifice certain abilities to hone others.

Granted Powers

Vision of Madness (Sp): You can give a creature a vision of madness as a melee Touch Attack. Choose one of the following: attack rolls, Saving Throws, or skill checks. The target receives a bonus to the chosen rolls equal to ½ your Cleric level (minimum +1) and a penalty to the other two types of rolls equal to ½ your Cleric level (minimum –1). This effect fades after 3 rounds. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Aura of Madness (Su): At 8th level, you can emit a 30-foot aura of madness for a number of rounds per day equal to your Cleric level. Enemies within this aura are affected by confusion unless they make a Will Save with a DC equal to 10 + ½ your Cleric level + your Wisdom modifier. The confusion effect ends immediately when the creature leaves the area or the aura expires. Creatures that succeed on their saving throw are immune to this aura for 24 hours. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.

In addition, the creature takes a penalty on Will saves made against Fear effects equal to 1/2 your Cleric level (minimum –1). This power is a mind-affecting effect.

Truth

Replacement Power

The following granted power replaces the aura of madness power of the Madness domain.
Dawning Realization (Su): At 8th level, you can impart a shared vision of unfathomable ineffability to a living creature you touch as a Standard Action, after which your turn immediately ends. You are Dazed and the target Confused for 1 round by what you both learn. On the following round, you are both Staggered for 1 round by the ramifications of your discovery. On the third round, you are Confused and the target Dazed for 1 round as you attempt to regain your bearings. Each round, the target can attempt a Will Save with a DC equal to 10 + 1/2 your Cleric level + your Wisdom modifier to negate that round’s effects for both of you, though the effect does not end until the end of the third round. This is a mind-affecting effect that you can use a number of times per day equal to 1/2 your class level.
