Rune Domain

In strange and eldritch runes you find potent magic. You gain Scribe Scroll as a bonus feat.

Granted Powers

Blast Rune (Sp): As a Standard Action, you can create a blast rune in any adjacent square. Any creature entering this square takes 1d6 points of damage + 1 point for every two Cleric levels you possess. This rune deals either acid, cold, electricity, or fire damage, decided when you create the rune. The rune is Invisible and lasts a number of rounds equal to your Cleric level or until discharged. You cannot create a blast rune in a square occupied by another creature. This rune counts as a 1st-level spell for the purposes of dispelling. It can be discovered with a DC 26 Perception skill check and disarmed with a DC 26 Disable Device skill check. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Spell Rune (Sp): At 8th level, you can attach another spell that you cast to one of your blast runes, causing that spell to affect the creature that triggers the rune, in addition to the damage. This spell must be of at least one level lower than the highest-level Cleric spell you can cast and it must target one or more creatures. Regardless of the number of targets the spell can normally affect, it only affects the creature that triggers the rune.

Legislation

Replacement Power

The following granted power replaces the blast rune power of the Rune domain.
Prohibition (Su): As a Standard Action, you can command a creature within 30 feet to refrain from committing a particular action (including any referenced in the spell Forbid Action). If the creature performs the named action before the beginning of your next turn, it takes 1d6 points of damage + 1 point for every 2 Cleric levels you possess and the effect ends. This is a language-dependent effect. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
You can attach a spell effect to the prohibition as if it were the spell rune domain ability; the spell takes effect if the creature performs the named action. This spell must be of at least 1 level lower than the highest-level Cleric spell you can cast, and it must target one or more creatures. Regardless of the number of targets the spell can normally affect, it affects only the creature that triggers the rune. Attaching a spell in this way extends the duration of the prohibition by a number of rounds equal to the spell’s level, or until it is discharged.

Replacement Power

Warding Rune (Su): At 6th level, when a creature is damaged by your blast rune, it cannot attack you for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your Cleric level unless it succeeds at a Will Save, as per the spell Sanctuary. Using this ability is an Immediate Action when a creature triggers one of your blast runes. The ability does not prevent you from being attacked or affected by area of effect spells or abilities. You can use this ability once per day at 8th level, plus one additional time per day at 14th level and 20th level.
