Message: <blockquote data-quote="TwinBahamut" data-source="post: 4592050" data-attributes="member: 32536">Honestly, considering that the default assumption of D&D is that religion is polytheistic, I find your complaints a little strange...The default assumption that a cleric of a polytheistic religion would be entirely devoted to one god, that the churches of different gods within the same pantheon would be different organizations, and many other such things of traditional D&D are the oddities. What you describe, a person who offers prayers to the god that is most important and relevant to him at the moment, is what would be considered to be a normal polytheistic priest. It is not like the Invoker is Christian one minute and Zoroastrian the next. Instead, he is offering prayers to Odin one minute and Thor the next. Nothing really odd about that. Things like different religious tenants and such probably would never come into it.Anyways, I really like the fluff of the Invoker, at least as I am aware of it. It gives the vibe of the holy man who lives outside of the established order, who has received divine revelation and goes forth to directly serve the will of the gods, rather than the ideals of mortal clergy. It is the kind of figure who may find himself at odds with the doctrine of his religion, which he may consider corrupt or tainted by ideals other than those of the gods, and thus would try to change said doctrine.An Eberron Invoker of the Silver Flame would be a lot of fun to play...</blockquote>
