[QUOTE="Unwise, post: 7844009, member: 98008"] In 4e this raised a really good discussion for RP. Most of the party was ascending to divine status, but the cleric would forever be a servant of a greater power. The dragon born sorcerer was literally becoming Io reborn, the "thief of legend" was becoming Prometheus, the fighter was an eternal king like King Arthur who gets reborn every time his people are in need. The cleric was "just some god's whipping boy" as the other players put it. There is probably a reason that guys like Kas betray their gods and strike out on their own. Our cleric ended up causing a schism in the church (the god was kind of a douche) and started to feed off the power of those that prayed to his version of the religion, weakening his god, fracturing his religion and allowing him divine attributes like sending blessing to those that prayed to his sect. There was a push toward reunifying the church, which, if successful, would blend the cleric to their god, just like OP suggested. [/QUOTE]
