D&D 5E Should WotC Keep the Love Domain as is?

You need to add an option: No opinion.

Afterall, it's kinda hard for me to vote having not seen the material.

I have it.

Same here. @Weiley31, could you PM it to me?

Honestly, depending on the alignment of the Cleric, Love changes.

The evil Love Domain Cleric, however, should/can be reflavored as Obsession.

I think that's actually a pretty good way to put it.

The evil cleric/deity would of course insist that any other conception of love was just self-deception, and that all love is obsession and selfish and the desire to possess and there wasn't really anything else. They would insist marriage is fundamentally just prostitution, that partners always love someone only in so much as that person makes them happy, and that of course is right and good. They would further suggest that love is never an equal relationship, that some partner is always giving and another taking, and so forth. And that anyone that romanticized love as anything else was either kidding themselves or just being cozened into the less dominate position. Love is transient. Love is demanding. Love is painful, and that is what love is.

No real person of course would insist on any of those things, right?

Split out a selfless protection/healing/help oriented Love domain. Some nod to the True Love Conquers All trope would be appropriate for a fantasy game, too.

Call any charm/manipulation oriented domain something else - lust, seduction, whatever.

Groovey, I'm now officially legal on the board!

Silly mortals. All love comes from the gods, and is artificially bestowed! But I suppose consent is sexy, so nobody should feel love until they mutually ask a Cleric to bestow it on them.
