Some of the deities are hard to cover for, particularly Finder Wyvernspur. The domains available in NWN don't seem to mesh well with his domains at *all*. While in the case of Talona, substituting the Chaos domain for Death makes sense, it doesn't make sense in Finder's case since he's about renewal and transformative art. I don't see a suitable replacement for Renewal and Scalykind, but one could argue that the Charm domain could be substituted with Trickery or Renewal with Healing (albeit rather loosely). Would Animal be a good substitute for Scalykind, or would that be an insult to the Saurials?
Gond is another one that was pretty restricted. He has only the Creation and Knowledge domains, which makes only 1 NWN domain available. On his page, however, there is a list of previous domains he's had, such as Earth and Fire. Considering only one of his current domains exists in NWN, I didn't have any qualms about choosing the old Earth domain for my Gondar cleric Fortunata. Besides, aren't golems supposed to be earth elementals infused into the golem?
The water domain with Talona could actually work. Consider the different ways disease spreads. Waterborne diseases like Cholera are a real thing, and could easily cause a nasty pandemic in a medieval town. Sure, Talona might not exactly control water itself, it could be argued that it can be contaminated and then used by her clerics to punish those that speak ill of her faith. Since NWN is a little restrictive, I think taking the Water domain would, mechanically-speaking, work.
(On a side note, now I want to play Plague Inc. again.)
I'm wondering if Magic might be a suitable substitute for Charm, given the plethora of Enchantment spells which enthrall enemies.
I tend to go with 3rd Edition's Domains, but dipping into 4th Edition (and its heresy) might work in some cases. Earth, Fire and Knowledge would work for Gond, I think, with Knowledge to come up with some new invention and both Earth and Fire to get to the forge and hammer it out.
Good point. Waterborne diseases are the reason why survivalists aren't advised to drink water from a stream or a lake without boiling it first; there was that episode of Naked and Afraid in Borneo, where Puma drank water from a stream and had to get pulled out of the challenge after he contracted an intestinal bug or somesuch. I suppose that Water might work on some level, even if I don't see Talontar summoning or Turning water elementals over that.
"Plague Incorporated," huh? Do tell.
