Message: <blockquote data-quote="jbear" data-source="post: 5176190" data-attributes="member: 75065">This is something I find fairly annoying about the character builder. Divine Power talks quite clearly about domains and the possibilty of worshipping several deities. "If you worship multiple deities with a common theme ... you gain access to all their domains." DP p.108. Not only that it goes so far as to say that, with your DMs permission, you can choose domains other than those related to your deity (albeit something that makes sense, obviously). Yet there is no option in the CB to either worship multiple deities, related or otherwise, or alter your deities domains. Not even as a house rule. Which creates the rather annoying situation that when you want to add domain feats unrelated to your god, either you have to choose a domain appropriate god, select the desired feat and then change to the desired god; or open up the massive tab of hidden feats which slows the program down enormously and add it in that way.  With the amount of adjustments and corrections that WotC is taking the time and care to smoothen out the wrinkles in other areas, considering this is an option talked about the Divine source book itself, I think this should be a feature added to CB. In a world with so many gods that have such specific domains of influence, it should almost be the norm, and if not at least very common, both polytheistic religions and the worship of multiple gods by the common people, depending on the sphere of influence to which they are petitioning aid/comfort/protection. Many real world religions worship one god, believing only one god exists. Religions that believe many gods exist... worship many gods. D&D is based in a world where not only is it believed that many gods exists, they DO exist. Monotheism seems almost like a strange idea for an individual or a society to follow taking that into account. It's somewhat like people in the same city or country picking a different football club to support: 'My god is better than your god, he's won all the track and field events at the Olympus Games three years straight! And he's hot! Gooooo Kord!!!!' A Shinto-style of God worship makes a lot more sense to me in a d&d multiple-deity setting, but that is just me. I think there needs to be an option in the CB to represent this at the very least, in line with this very same idea discussed in Divine Power.</blockquote>
