[QUOTE="Barak, post: 2751716, member: 3028"] I've played in a campaign where this was actually a plot point. There were 5 Gods only in that campaign, each representing different things (as usual). "Clerics" were the only spellcasters, as the DM had combined both spell lists, made a list of "general" spells, and then assigned each God spells that only their clerics could cast (those lists were more expansive than the general ones). This was 2nd edition, btw. Anyway.. My character was a cleric of the God of Knowledge/creation. Only they could make magic items, identify them, cast any divinations, etc. Thing is, my God was very greedy. Each of his Cleric was expected to charge a set amount for the casting of -every- spell, except those cast on himself. And 75% of that cost went to the Church. Technically 25% went to the church, and 50% to the God (who, after all, provided the spells in the first place. It -was- sorta annoying to have to charge party members every time they wanted a certain spell cast that only I could cast. I quickly started charging them only 75% of the "true" cost, forgoing my cut.. But they were still mad, and started charging me for spells -they'd- cast, or whatever else they'd do. It took me a while to make them believe that I wasn't seeing any of the money they were giving me. [/QUOTE]
