It's not too bad on low levels, and if you're flexible and willing to give them a break if it happens on a higher level, it's gother be okay.And you're right: It really depends on the circumstances. While there's no excuse for frivolous change (and this is within the system already, since such clerics would have a hard time getting an atonement spell from most clergies), if there's a perfectly justified reason for the change, the cleric should not suffer unduly for this, and neither should the player.To get to the original situation: We have a cleric of Lathander who first sees most of his comrades killed, and is then subject to several months of torture and physical abuse, until he is freed. The cleric now feels that his deity has forsaken him, and due to his ordeal, he feels that the God of Justice and Retribution is far more suited to him: he has suffered and wants to prevent others from suffering, as well as meting out punishment to those who would mistreat people so.Now I think that, in this situation, the change of heart is perfectly justified (and the DM agrees, as you can read in post one).Sure, he feels that the clergy of lathander can't help but harbour ill will toward the cleric, as he has stated that Lathander isn't a strong enough deity, but as we are talking about Lathander, I doubt that they will seek retribution from him, as Lathander is not a vengeful deity. They would rather try to make a new beginning of this, not dwelling on the old. Especially, they wouldn't get ugly with the wayward priest.Do you agree?</blockquote>
