Take this domain and get +2 heal skill / level?

Its pretty good as it is. Take this domain and your heal spells heal 100% and harm undead to 1d4 hp (so I am told). Not to mention that you get the heal spell at level 5 and 6.

Healing domain is plenty powerful as it is. :)

It is? I never get max healing when I take it, only the lower level healing spell-addition.

For healing spells it only empowers them, +50%, not maximizes.
As for HEAL itself, the devs have edited the spell to not heal to full. Not too sure what formula they used.

For potions, we've reverted back to the dice system, although we've increased the dice values for each of the spells.

Minor heals 1-6, Light 3-12, Moderate 6-24, Serious 12-48, Critical 24-96, and Heal 48-192.

Casters will add their casting level to the rolled amount, and have a guaranteed minimum of 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% respectively.

Clerics with the healing domain will gain an additional percentage equal to the minimum for that level. That means that a cleric casting heal with healing domain is guaranteed to heal 100% of the target's HP.

These values also apply to damage dealt to undead. Healing domain clerics will reduce undead to 1d4 hit points with a heal spell.

According to this, the healing domain in NS4 will not auto empower spells but add a % bonus to them. The healing domain in NS4 will also make the heal spell fully heal the target (or fully harm undead).

I wonder if this means a cleric with the healing domain can empower healing spells for even greater effect? Must go try this.

I'm pretty sure using healing spells on Undead will leave them with a minimum amount of HP if they do enough damage. Not outright death :)

I did not word that very well, by "fully harm" I meant the full effect of a standard NWN harm spell. Leaving them on 1d4 hit points. Unlike normal harm (or normal heal on undead) which has a limit to the damage it can do under the new NS4 rules.
