On the one hand, it's tough to do anything really broken with domain spells, since you only get one per level per day.
On the other, the point of choosing only 2 domains is to limit the options available to the cleric, and if you open it wide to any choice, he might as well just have an extra spell per day per level and be done with it.
On the third hand, there have been so many specialized domains in so many books, both WotC and 3rd party published, it's nearly impossible not to find two you like, without making up your own.
But in the end, if you can come up with a rationale for it and carefully balance which spells go into it at which level... sure, why not?

Well in that case, you're going to have to de-power the domain benefits so that you're not just giving extra power for free. Frankly, most of the domain powers I've seen are so minor that de-powering them at all would make them useless. Since they're so weak, I'd hesitate to say that giving extra ones without de-powering them would be unbalancing, but it's certainly "Something for nothing".jules wrote:No,I am talking about combining the domain benifits,NOT there spells!
Hardly seems worth worrying about. Are they really more than 2 domain abilities one would need?
