[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8463536, member: 6802378"] Politheism from real world are possible in D&D worlds, but we should be careful about the Hinduism, a religion with millions of followers in the real life. If it is in your tabletop and no Hindu knows what happened, then you are free for actions like the facts from the videogame saga God of War. Maybe there aren't true atheists in D&D worlds, but misotheism ("I hate gods") or maltheism ("my opinion is gods are they are cruel and they don't take no pity on mortals"). The trope of the sinnister minister, the wolf with lamb's clothing may be very known, but this can so dangerous like the homophobia or racism. Let's remember today "Lone with the Wind" has got a previous disclaimer about the slavery, or the crows, the characters from Disney's cartoon movie "Dumbo" aren't wellcome for the current standards. Maybe your opinion is anything isn't wrong and it shouldn't be cancelled, but others can disagree you. Or the rules about politically correct could change in the future. I disadvice totally divine spellcasters in sets based in our real History to avoid troubles like some poisoned questions: Could [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_rosa_de_Guadalupe']the Rose of Guadalupe[/URL] save you against attacks by supernatural monsters, or to heal supernatural creatures as vampires and lycantropes? [SIZE=3]could a priest by the Chinese patriotic church be as good as a true Catholic exorcist to expel demons, and a female anglican priestess? or could the sacred power defend the leader of the Anglican church, the UK queen, against spells casted by a neopagan witch? could vampires be hurt by bones by a martyr, a Irish fray killed by Lutheran corsairs?[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
