And since rainbows are also natural phenomena, it also makes sense to offer the rainbow domain to druids as part of their nature bond ability. In fact, I would be lying if I said that my original intent was not to allow the creation of terrifying rainbow-blasting druids.

Rainbow Domain
Granted Powers: You
can manipulate rainbows to aid your allies or confound your foes. In addition, you gain a bonus to saves equal
to half your cleric or druid level (minimum 1) against spells such as prismatic spray, prismatic sphere, and similar spells and spell-like abilities with
the word ‘prismatic’ in their name.
This domain is also available to druids who choose to take a domain rather than an animal companion.
Rainbow Glimmer
(Sp): You can fill any 5-ft. square within 30 ft. with a shimmering rainbow
light that clings to any creatures within it and follows them, even if they leave
that square. This spell-like ability
functions as faerie fire, imposing a
-20 penalty on stealth checks and preventing the target from benefiting from the
concealment of darkness, blur, displacement, invisibility, or similar effects.
The rainbow glimmer persists for a number of rounds equal to half your
cleric or druid level (minimum 1). You
can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom
modifier.
Rainbow Bridge (Su):
At 8th level, once per day as a standard action, you can create a bridge of
solid rainbow light that is safe to cross.
This bridge starts at one edge of the square you occupy, and is 10 ft.
long per cleric or druid level, and 5 ft. wide.
At the time of creation, you can increase its width in 5 ft. increments
by sacrificing 10 ft. of length. This
bridge can ascend or descend at no greater than a 45 degree angle, meaning for
every 5 ft. of vertical rise (or fall) it needs 5 ft. of horizontal run, but vertical
rise does not count against its total length.
The bridge persists for a number of rounds equal to half your cleric or
druid level, or until you dispel it as a move action.
Domain Spells: 1st
- color spray, 2nd - hypnotic pattern, 3rd - daylight, 4th - rainbow pattern, 5th - blazing rainbow, 6th - prismatic spray, 7th - scintillating pattern, 8th - prismatic wall, 9th - prismatic sphere
Refraction Subdomain
Associated Domain:
Rainbow
Replacement Power:
The following granted power replaces the rainbow glimmer ability of the Rainbow Domain.
Prism Touch (Su):
With a touch, you cause a single unattended object to phase out into a spectrum
of intangible light-duplicates, each a different color of the rainbow. This lasts for 1 round, during which the
object cannot be manipulated and is immune to physical and energy damage. You can use this ability a number of times
per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Starting at 8th
level, you can expend two uses of this ability to affect a single willing
creature (and its gear). The creature is
similarly transformed into 7 different insubstantial light-duplicates of itself
for one round, during which it cannot manipulate or be affected by solid objects,
cannot pass through solid objects, and is immune to physical and energy damage,
though it can still be the target of ranged touch attacks, gaze abilities, and
other spells and spell-like abilities, and can be hit by magical weapons with
the ghost-touch enhancement. It can
otherwise move and cast spells as normal.
Replacement Domain
Spells: 2nd - mirror image, 3rd -
displacement, 7th - ethereal jaunt
This is my first attempt at homebrewing a domain, so please comment if you feel the granted abilities or domain spell selections are inappropriate, underpowered, or overpowered! I welcome feedback.
