pemerton said:This is roughly what Buzz said upthread, I think. I'm interested to see what the PHB and DMG say about alignment, clerics and paladins in this respect - these seem to be the areas in which the tactically optimal PC can be hardest to make work. Though the desingers have certainly helped out be getting rid of all the gods of basketweaving.
On the bright side, Clerics and Paladins can do whatever they want, they won't lose access to their prayers.
On the dark side, they have listed some "things do to to please your Gods" and some of them can conflict with tactical choices in combat.
