Currently undergoing rewrites, please ignore!
A quick and simple (?) 3.5 cleric revamp, inspired by Lemmy's cleric (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?524382-Making-Clerics-Fun!-Lemmy-s-Revised-Cleric!-(WiP)). Note that this also replaces druids (simply clerics of a nature deity with the Druid feat). The goal is to provide domains that truly reflect a particular aspect of the universe - whether by duplicating an entire school of magic or through class features.
Probably way too strong - I could remove the automatic spells known, but allow them to switch their spells known as a Spirit Shaman. I just like the idea of praying for help and getting the precise effect you need when you need it (within your deity's portfolio at least), rather than having limited prayers known.
Something to keep in mind is the "DM approval" bit. A deity of Protection isn't necessarily going to let you use time stop, and a Trickery deity may or may not feel you can use alter self. A moon god could let you use prismatic sphere, but it would be a silvery version instead of the usual colour.
You worship a god of the wild, or untamed nature itself.
Prerequisites
Cleric level 1st, worship deity/philosophy of nature.
Benefits
Wisdom replaces Charisma as your relevant ability for cleric spellcasting.
If you have the wild empathy class feature, you may use it to influence dragons, elementals, fey and magical beasts at no penalty.
While you are the leader of a druid Circle, you gain a +1 bonus to your caster level.
Alignment: Matching your deity.
Hit Die: d6.
Class Skills
The cleric's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Bluff (Cha), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Gather Information (Cha), Heal (Wis), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (arcana, history, local, nobility and royalty, religion, the planes) (Int), Perform (oratory) (Cha), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Speak Language (None), Spellcraft (Int), and Use Magic Device (Cha).
Clerics add additional skills to their class skill list according to their domains (see below).

Domains (Ex): Each of a deity's domains is associated with particular skills, as shown below. These skills are always considered class skills for a cleric and they may use them untrained. A cleric gains access to the associated skills of all of their deity's domains at first level, and also gains 4 bonus skill points per class level (with quadruple points at first level) to spend on these domain skills.
Each alignment domain is associated with particular skills. These skills are always considered class skills for you, you may use them untrained, and you gain a bonus on them equal to one-half your cleric level (if you gain this bonus from multiple domains, the effects stack).

XXX
Deities under this system should be streamlined to have 6 domains each (usually 2 alignment domains plus 4 others). A nature deity might be true neutral with Air, Animal, Earth, Fire, Plant, and Water.
If this is too restrictive or causes too much overlap between deities, the # of domains per deity and the levels at which a cleric gains them could be adjusted up/down. Ultimately a cleric should gain all of their deity's domains though, by feats if necessary.
Each domain is associated with particular skills (as shown below). These skills are always considered class skills for
These domain spell lists are by no means exhaustive. A domain may grant a cleric any appropriate spells, even non-cleric spells, subject to DM approval. For example, the Air domain might grant a cleric all spells with the [Air], [Electricity], [Sonic] descriptors, all spells manipulating sound or the weather, and even polymorph any object (provided it is used to transform creatures into air elementals or somesuch). Conversely, a DM may remove spells already on these lists (e.g. a deity with the Charm domain might not allow insanity spells, a deity of Knowledge might find prying eyes too bizarre, etc.).
All domain spells are presumed to be at the level of the cleric versions. If the spell in question is not a cleric spell, then default to sorcerer/wizard, druid, bard, paladin, and ranger, in that order.
All summon monster and summon nature's ally spells are considered spells known for you and you may use gate to call creatures, but you may only conjure creatures of the domain's alignment with those spells (you may conjure creatures of other alignments via planar binding spells as normal). Whenever you use a planar ally or gate spell, the payment required by summoned creatures is reduced by 5% per cleric level.
You cast spells with your domain's alignment descriptor at caster level +1, and Exorcise creatures of the opposed alignment as a cleric one level higher. Whenever you would Exorcise a creature of the domain's alignment, you may rebuke it instead.
Each domain provides additional spells known, as given below.

Deleted Domains
These fit better as portfolio concepts rather than mechanics IMHO. Whenever a build would require one of these domains (or one of the subsumed domains e.g. Glory), use the appropriate replacement instead.
Community - Replace with Good, Law, Protection...
Darkness - Replace with Evil, Death...
Destruction - Replace with Chaos, Death, Fire, War, etc...
Glory - Replace with Charm, Good, Light...
Healing Replace with Good or Life
Liberation - Replace with Chaos, Trickery, etc.
Luck - Replace with Chaos, Evil, Good, etc...
Magic Domain - Replace with Cosmic, Knowledge, Protection, etc...
Madness - Replace with Chaos, Charm, Evil, Trickery, etc.
Nobility - Replace with Charm, Law...
Repose - Replace with Death, Good...
Rune - Replace with Knowledge...
Scalykind - Replace with Animal, Evil, Water...
Strength - Replace with Protection, War...
Sun - replace with Fire, Life
Travel - Replace with Air, Cosmic, Water....
Weather- Replace with Air, Water..
Animal-If you become a lycanthrope, you gain the powers of a natural lycanthrope but you retain your own alignment, do not gain any racial Hit Dice from the template, and only gain a level adjustment of +1.
Death- If you become an undead creature, you retain your own alignment and your level adjustment from being undead (if any) is reduced by -2 (to a minimum of +0).
-Whenever you would Exorcise an undead creature you may rebuke it instead. Commanded undead do not count towards your Hit Dice limit of commanded creatures. There is no limit on the Hit Dice of undead you can create and command through animate dead.
Knowledge-You gain 4 extra skills points per cleric level (with quadruple points at first level). These points may only be spent on Knowledge skills.
Mind-You may spend three turn attempts at once to Exorcise any type of creature. Whenever you would Exorcise a creature, you may rebuke it instead.
Plant-At 20th level, you may choose to gain the plant type. Increase your base attack bonus, saves, etc. as appropriate.[/SPOILER]
A quick and simple (?) 3.5 cleric revamp, inspired by Lemmy's cleric (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?524382-Making-Clerics-Fun!-Lemmy-s-Revised-Cleric!-(WiP)). Note that this also replaces druids (simply clerics of a nature deity with the Druid feat). The goal is to provide domains that truly reflect a particular aspect of the universe - whether by duplicating an entire school of magic or through class features.
Probably way too strong - I could remove the automatic spells known, but allow them to switch their spells known as a Spirit Shaman. I just like the idea of praying for help and getting the precise effect you need when you need it (within your deity's portfolio at least), rather than having limited prayers known.
Something to keep in mind is the "DM approval" bit. A deity of Protection isn't necessarily going to let you use time stop, and a Trickery deity may or may not feel you can use alter self. A moon god could let you use prismatic sphere, but it would be a silvery version instead of the usual colour.
You worship a god of the wild, or untamed nature itself.
Prerequisites
Cleric level 1st, worship deity/philosophy of nature.
Benefits
Wisdom replaces Charisma as your relevant ability for cleric spellcasting.
If you have the wild empathy class feature, you may use it to influence dragons, elementals, fey and magical beasts at no penalty.
While you are the leader of a druid Circle, you gain a +1 bonus to your caster level.
Alignment: Matching your deity.
Hit Die: d6.
Class Skills
The cleric's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Bluff (Cha), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Gather Information (Cha), Heal (Wis), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (arcana, history, local, nobility and royalty, religion, the planes) (Int), Perform (oratory) (Cha), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Speak Language (None), Spellcraft (Int), and Use Magic Device (Cha).

Domains (Ex): Each of a deity's domains is associated with particular skills, as shown below. These skills are always considered class skills for a cleric and they may use them untrained. A cleric gains access to the associated skills of all of their deity's domains at first level, and also gains 4 bonus skill points per class level (with quadruple points at first level) to spend on these domain skills.
Each alignment domain is associated with particular skills. These skills are always considered class skills for you, you may use them untrained, and you gain a bonus on them equal to one-half your cleric level (if you gain this bonus from multiple domains, the effects stack).

Deities under this system should be streamlined to have 6 domains each (usually 2 alignment domains plus 4 others). A nature deity might be true neutral with Air, Animal, Earth, Fire, Plant, and Water.
If this is too restrictive or causes too much overlap between deities, the # of domains per deity and the levels at which a cleric gains them could be adjusted up/down. Ultimately a cleric should gain all of their deity's domains though, by feats if necessary.
Each domain is associated with particular skills (as shown below). These skills are always considered class skills for
These domain spell lists are by no means exhaustive. A domain may grant a cleric any appropriate spells, even non-cleric spells, subject to DM approval. For example, the Air domain might grant a cleric all spells with the [Air], [Electricity], [Sonic] descriptors, all spells manipulating sound or the weather, and even polymorph any object (provided it is used to transform creatures into air elementals or somesuch). Conversely, a DM may remove spells already on these lists (e.g. a deity with the Charm domain might not allow insanity spells, a deity of Knowledge might find prying eyes too bizarre, etc.).
All domain spells are presumed to be at the level of the cleric versions. If the spell in question is not a cleric spell, then default to sorcerer/wizard, druid, bard, paladin, and ranger, in that order.
All summon monster and summon nature's ally spells are considered spells known for you and you may use gate to call creatures, but you may only conjure creatures of the domain's alignment with those spells (you may conjure creatures of other alignments via planar binding spells as normal). Whenever you use a planar ally or gate spell, the payment required by summoned creatures is reduced by 5% per cleric level.
You cast spells with your domain's alignment descriptor at caster level +1, and Exorcise creatures of the opposed alignment as a cleric one level higher. Whenever you would Exorcise a creature of the domain's alignment, you may rebuke it instead.
Each domain provides additional spells known, as given below.

Climb, Intimidate, Jump, Ride, and Swim are considered class skills for you.
You gain 4 extra skills points per cleric level (with quadruple points at first level). These points may only be spent on Climb, Intimidate, Jump, Knowledge (history), Perform (oratory), Ride, and Swim.
All spells (even non-cleric spells) that grant a morale bonus or penalty or that deal with battle (e.g. good hope, crushing despair, divine power, heroes' feast, greater heroism, transformation, blade barrier, spiritual weapon, shield, etc.) are considered spells known for you, subject to DM approval.
Your base attack bonus from your cleric levels increases to 3/4ths, and your Fortitude save from your cleric levels increases to the Good progression. Your cleric Hit Dice increase to d8.
You are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, with all types of armor (heavy, medium, and light), and with shields (except tower shields).

Deleted Domains
These fit better as portfolio concepts rather than mechanics IMHO. Whenever a build would require one of these domains (or one of the subsumed domains e.g. Glory), use the appropriate replacement instead.
Community - Replace with Good, Law, Protection...
Darkness - Replace with Evil, Death...
Destruction - Replace with Chaos, Death, Fire, War, etc...
Glory - Replace with Charm, Good, Light...
Healing Replace with Good or Life

Animal-If you become a lycanthrope, you gain the powers of a natural lycanthrope but you retain your own alignment, do not gain any racial Hit Dice from the template, and only gain a level adjustment of +1.
Death- If you become an undead creature, you retain your own alignment and your level adjustment from being undead (if any) is reduced by -2 (to a minimum of +0).
-Whenever you would Exorcise an undead creature you may rebuke it instead. Commanded undead do not count towards your Hit Dice limit of commanded creatures. There is no limit on the Hit Dice of undead you can create and command through animate dead.
Knowledge-You gain 4 extra skills points per cleric level (with quadruple points at first level). These points may only be spent on Knowledge skills.
Mind-You may spend three turn attempts at once to Exorcise any type of creature. Whenever you would Exorcise a creature, you may rebuke it instead.
Plant-At 20th level, you may choose to gain the plant type. Increase your base attack bonus, saves, etc. as appropriate.[/SPOILER]
