[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 539679, member: 2067"] Whaaa? :) I didn't mean to imply the game shouldn't have realism...I meant to say that "because it happens in the real world" is a bad reason for a flavor consideration, IMHO. So, we should have clerics who are able to not worship gods because people in the real world have religions where they don't worship gods. So, we should have clerics of Islam in the game, because people in the real world have the Islamic religion. See what I'm trying to get at? And what's silly about my athiest play a cleric? That was supposed to be an example of why, just because it happens in real life, we don't need to have D&D represent it, because D&D isn't real life...not that it's not a welcome thing, just that the reason isn't a very good one. I still think the PHB reference to godless clerics is a good thing. :) Er...I didn't mean to imply that...^_^ Read my post above that -- I'm all for the rules supporting clerics without gods, but I don't think "Because there's players who don't worship gods" is a very good reason... Yeah...this is pretty much what I think (see the post *before* last. ;)) [/QUOTE]
