Is that +2 being added to the die roll itself or to the bonus number
generated by the die roll?

(Jeff ran it that he loses all access to his possibilities, to me that’s too harsh and in conflict with the base spirit of Torg – I would rule that all possibility costs are doubled or tripled while submerged.)

I'd probably stick with existing mechanics, maybe something like a
combination of Stymied and Marked For Death - the latter prevents
him from spending any P-Points to negate damage and the Stymied will
hinder but not prevent his ability to use P-Points for rerolls while
in the situation.

There is a further limitation to how quickly a Domain power can be raised: the checkmark system. That is, you not only have to spend the possibilities, you need to have enough checkmarks to “unlock” the power.

While it sounds like the checkmark system would inspire creativity in
the player (since they have to do something "cool or interesting" to
get one) I could see it also being frustrating for a player who isn't
able to think up something cool or interesting to do every adventure
and so he falls behind in progressing with his powers.

Is it really equal? It seems like Stunts and Pool Powers could buy up to
really high power levels much faster.
