[QUOTE="Tales and Chronicles, post: 7395290, member: 6871653"] But at the same time, the player seems to have chosen Grummsh just because its the orc god written in the War cleric description and didnt give it more thought. I dont think its fair to force drama on a player who made a choice if you didnt warn him when he made the choice. If the DM didn't warn the payers at first by saying: ''you know guys, I'll enforce the folio of the gods in the game and one of you wants to play a cleric of a god who advocate the genocide of elven-kind and you, other guy, want to play en elf. How that's going to work?" Maybe the cleric would have chosen another god because he didn't really read farther than Grummsh= War and dont want to play a genocidal maniac. We dont know that the Cleric made an choice with all the good informations in hand. No saying that the DM tricked him, I myself often forget (or take for granted) to explain some RP point to my players at character generation only to regret it later when their action make no sense in my campaign canon. I'm sure the DM can talk with is player to plan ahead and avoid any drama. Or he can just retcon the Grummsh part, even more if the cleric's faith only has a superficial influence on his roleplay. Just say ''hey guys, lets say that from the starts the god I worshiped was X instead of Grummsh, I didn't know he was that evil and dont want cause any in-party problem.'' I doest hurt anyone.
