Salient Divine Abilities Revised

Most of these revisions will affect only the prerequisites for the listed abilities. We are doing this because looking at the prerequisites they seem both arbitrary, and limited in inappropriate ways.

Some SDA’s now list ‘Domain’ as a prerequisite. This means a character must have at least one domain or sub domain with a theme appropriate to the listed Salient Divine Ability. See the ‘Suggested Portfolio Elements’ under all the SDA’s in the book for ideas on what is appropriate. With that said the listed portfolio elements are not necessarily the only Domains that might be applied. Work with the DM to determine if a particular domain is appropriate or not. A few SDA’s list a specific domain prerequisite, which must be possessed by a deity seeking access to the ability in question.
