Domain Spells on PRC classes

[Necro]

It seems that domain spells are not near as nice on PRC classes as on the NWN base classes.  On NWN classes (Cleric), the domain spells become part of the spell list and can be cast as often as spell slots are available.  For PRC classes (EX: Templar), you get one casting per rest per level and that is it.  Shouldn't we be able to cast our domain spells as often as spell slots allow (especially for spontanious casters like the Templar) just like the cleric?

Nope, works as intended.

Deity, Domains, and Domain Spells

A cleric’s deity influences his alignment, what magic he can perform, his values, and how others see him. A cleric chooses two domains from among those belonging to his deity. A cleric can select an alignment domain (Chaos, Evil, Good, or Law) only if his alignment matches that domain.

If a cleric is not devoted to a particular deity, he still selects two domains to represent his spiritual inclinations and abilities. The restriction on alignment domains still applies.

Each domain gives the cleric access to a domain spell at each spell level he can cast, from 1st on up, as well as a granted power. The cleric gets the granted powers of both the domains selected.

With access to two domain spells at a given spell level, a cleric prepares one or the other each day in his domain spell slot. If a domain spell is not on the cleric spell list, a cleric can prepare it only in his domain spell slot.

I see.

Thanks for clarifying!!

Hmm.... judging by

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spellLists/clericDomains.htm ,

in d20, all domains have one spell at each level, so Neverwinter Nights isn't a good parallel.  Enforcing the one-domain-spell-per-spell-level rule in the nwn context encourages players to pick domains with non-overlapping spell slot levels which detracts from picking them in a manner suiting the style of the character (e.g. Magic/Evil to get two negative energy bursts for an evil cleric looking to buff his undead subordinates).

I'm not convinced this was what was intended.

Are we talking about NWN or the PRC?  Because the PRC has a completely separate domain spell system.  Am I missing something?  Are clerics still getting the free spells slots from domains?  Are domain spells that aren't already on the cleric spell list still available to cast as many times as you have spell slots?
