[QUOTE="Bryan898, post: 2229467, member: 9085"] Not necessarily. It doesn't state anywhere in the D.O. prereqs that you must have a deity, much like a cleric doesn't need to have a deity to learn his spells. The D.O. could get his abilities from another source much like a cleric. Then the character idea could be that he not only gains power from another source, perphaps where the god's themselves get their power, but decides to begin tapping into the power source and stealing it from the gods themselves. I don't see the problems with people taking multiple prestige classes or following many paths as long as there is good reason. If for example, I had a character that was a Purple Dragon Knight (the PrC), and after a few levels had a falling out with the order, I wouldn't expect to have to continue in the PrC. Sometimes it is more logical to change your goals and path to conform to changes that occur in the story. Also, I have a character who likes to min-max, though he does RP. That's part of his enjoyment in the game, making powerful characters. He doesn't ruin the game for anyone, any character will have their share of weaknesses, and since most of the other players aren't extremely concerned with being the most bad-assed he doesn't ruin their fun. Min-maxing is a type of play, and if it's what makes a character happy, why not allow it while trying to role-play as well? The point of the game is to have fun after all, not be "teh best roleplayer". [/QUOTE]
