[QUOTE="Sejs, post: 1888671, member: 4910"] It's actually pretty easy to do a monotheistic campaign. Works like so: - Define that Clerics do not get their spells directly from their diety, and that prepared, spell slots divine magic is a trained discipline, similar to how a wizard's magic works. Remove the "one-step" alignment rule for clerics, and any "God Veto" on spells a cleric may cast. - Allow Clerics of your One True God to pick any two domains that would be in accordance with whichever branch of the faith trained them as a spellcaster, excepting domains that would be antithetical to the deity, such as Evil, Death, Trickery, or what have you. Similar in concept to how a cleric of a concept or philosophy picks domains. - Define that Favored Souls do get their spells directly from their deity, thru an innate connection with the divine, rather than a trained science. Unlike Clerics, have Favored Souls keep the deity alignment tether, and any God Veto on their spells. [/QUOTE]
