Death Domain feats disappearing

[SocratesBastardSon]

I am running a build that was inspired by Pyroxis on Khyber that he used to get his racial reincarnations done. He did an unusual Cleric build that focused on necro insta-kill, RS, and one level of arti for repeater when he wasn't healing or using Slay Living/Destruction. Anyway, with Death Domain making this an even more useful build, I decided to try it out.

When I got to level 2, I selected Death for my domain. Then when I got to level 5 in Cleric I looked for Necrotic Ray to add to my spell bar, but it didn't appear in the feat list. In fact, the Death Domain wasn't there either. I went to Fred and he couldn't see it either. So, it seems to have deleted. I mentioned the arti portion of the build because I wondered if taking another class first caused the bug, but when I spoke to a fellow guildie he had no such problem.

And yes, I started the character after the Cleric domain roll-out. Or at least, I selected my domain at level 2 after the roll out. So, I still have the lesser heart of wood. I'll use it, although I would rather have saved it for something more useful than dealing with bugs.

Just putting it out there as a bug.

Latest patch did not change things on my cleric 5/arti 2; still no Domain feat.

I have two characters that are Clerics with a 2-level splash of Arti, and both are using Death Domain.
Did an eTR of my level 30 - he's now 26, and everything went fine with the Domain selection at all the
expected levels, and he's happily blowing stuff up.
My level 14 used the LR heart. He's currently 15, and so far, so good (he gets Destruction at 16).

One thing to note - you should have had to select Necrotic Ray as a Domain Feat at Cleric 5 level-up
(so character level 6 or 7, depending on when you took your second level of Arti). You don't mention
selecting it at level-up, things maybe went off the rails even before then. You probably have the
free LR heart that you get at character creation - you could try that, just keep an eye out for the
domain feat selections as you're re-leveling.

Yep, that's what I'm dealing with. I took 2 levels of Arti, and 5 levels of Cleric. At Cleric level 2, I selected Death Domain, and didn't worry about it again until I hit level 7, i.e., Cleric 5. At level up I was not prompted for or notified about the level 5 domain feat. I then looked for the Necrotic Ray SLA under feats (and everywhere else) and at that point realized there were no Domain feats whatsoever.

I think you're right, I'll have to use the LR stone to repair the problem. I'm waiting until I finish all the level 5 quests (3BC, etc.) before doing it because I'm banking a level at this point. When I do I'll post the results.

One thing I discovered when I went to use the LR heart is that you can't have any levels banked.
So, plan accordingly.

You are correct. I was aware of this, which is why I had to wait a bit.

I did use the LR heart they gave us and selected the Domain again, and this time it awarded the level 6 SLA when I got there. So the stone fixed the problem, but I was hoping to save it for a later respec. Oh well.
