[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 8251899, member: 5038"] In 3e, I introduced this at first level and would do so if running 5e. I go through the spells and find those that I think are appropriate for all clerics in the campaign regardless of deity (e.g. spells for communicating with the deity, reading their omens, summoning planar allies (I choose or create a specific type of creature associated with the deity)). If alignment is important, I will also make an alignment lists shared by clerics of deities whom are good, neutral, or evil and, if deity's make alliances based around alignment, I may include lowlevel spells that aligned deities might share with each other. Finally, I look at deity domains and what modifications I want to make to spell lists.
