Sure.

The Warpriest domains determine a benefit, two at-wills, a utility and an encounter... just like the domains in DP. However, the Warpriest domains determine your powers and additional benefits as you level up. The domains in DP do not.

I never said the domains in DP were written for the Warpriest, nor did I assume they were. I was merely hoping that those domains could be used as additional choices. Which I think could be, if one were to take the time and add the information for leveling up that was needed.

As for the gods as domains being backward... I'm not sure what you mean. The 4 that are available in Neverwinter, are indeed backward and I was wrong about those... I was referencing more the ideal-based domains; Sun, Storm, Earth, Domination and Death. I was confused about what some people were talking about and was trying to offer a bit of clarification. Perhaps it would have been better to keep my 2 cents to myself.

As for meaning no offense, I figured... I just feel like I was talked down to. I didn't ask for clarification on any rules or class specifics not pertaining to warpriest. My one and only question was 'Where I could find additional domains that worked for the warpriest?" I merely had all that additional info to let people know where I had looked and what I had tried. I know that questions on forums are usually better answered when additional information such as this is offered so that answers can be quickly and adequately offered. The additional information you added to the answer that was not part of the original inquiry simply adds an air of 'know-it-all' and sounds demeaning. Probably the way my 'gods-as-domains' thing sounded. LoL I appreciate the apology and I offer one in return for my own sort of 'know-it-all' attitude in regards to the 'gods-as-domains' topic.

As for expecting more, I don't... I figured they've moved on to this Next thing. You never know, though. Perhaps reader submissions to Dragon or something. Or perhaps someone out there took the time to make some and has them locked away somewhere.

Play on, brother!

The domains in DP don't do any of those things, so I'm still confused.  What are you looking at? 

Generally on this forum when people provide more information than you asked for, they're trying to be helpful, rather than demeaning.  Sorry if anything came off as know-it-all or pedantic though!

S'cool, brotha'.

As for the DP domains, I'll use the Arcana domain.

"Power of Arcana

Prerequisite
Any divine class, must worship a deity of the arcana domain.

Benefit:
You gain a +2 feat bonus to Arcana checks.
When you use a power associated with this feat, that power is arcane as well as divine. After using the power you gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls with arcane powers until the end of your next turn.

Powers: divine bolts (invoker PH2), lance of faith (cleric PH), radiant vengeance (avenger PH2), virtuous strike (paladin DP)"

Now the details are a little different than I had thought (they're all at-will powers... my bad), and I know the method of obtaining the domains is a little more complex, but the format is almost identical to the warpriest domains. You could change out one of the at-wills for an encounter, change out another for a utility and then figure out the level-up progression and that could be another warpriest usable domain. That's what I was talking about.

It's a lot of work, but could be done.

The DP domains modify powers, they don't determine what powers you have.  That's the core difference between DP and Warpriest that you seem to not be getting.

At this point I'd strongly suggest you head down to the homebrew forum, as you'd get much better support for this sort of an effort there than you will here.

Yeah, I guess so... Oh well.

Ok. Sorry all for the confusion with Divine Power. And thanks again for all your help... especially in pointing me in the right direction for finding actual Warpriest domains.

Peace and remember to play on!

Oh.  That's a feat. 

If you feel inspired to make a homebrew build, definitely share it with us! There's some pretty cool domains to be explored!
