Message: <blockquote data-quote="Merkuri" data-source="post: 3334258" data-attributes="member: 41321">I would love to play in a setting where the gods did not obviously imbue clerics with powers.  That's one of the things that I like about Eberron, its clerics get their power from themselves (though they may think it's coming from gods).  I think making divine beings as elusive as they are in real life opens the setting up for a lot more controversy.  You could have two groups of people worshipping the same god that completely disagree on how that god's words should be interpreted.  You could also have athiests, and people who slowly lose or gain faith over time.  It's easy to believe in the god that comes down where all can see, waves his hand, and makes the crops spring up, but it's harder to believe in a god that may or may not be walking upon the clouds, steering them, and making rain.</blockquote>
