Guide: Does starting or current Max dominion determine temple checks?

[Dragar]

I've looked at the various threads but can't seem to find a definite answer to whether boosting your maximum dominion through temples has any impact on the Dom score used for determining temple checks.

The guide implies that it does, various posts have said that it doesn't, and I'd really like to know for sure

thanks in advance for any help

Edit: Sorry, for some reason popped up as a guide - this forum drives me nuts sometimes
