[QUOTE="Anthony Terry, post: 6497730, member: 6776492"] No its not, its a job. They may have dedicated their entire life to said job but their personality is not dictated by it. Otherwise how do extremist Muslim Priests both do unbelievable works of peace in the middle east and also be responsible for 9/11? Or Roman catholic priests each year feed thousands of hungry, but others ruin the lives of countless small boys throughout the 90's? No one is born a druid. Their personality will be attracted to the ideals of a certain specific aspect of the religion or ethos in most cases opposed to the whole thing even. Granted in the case of cleric, how they are put forward in standard D&D would suggest perhaps a slightly higher level of dedication to the core beliefs of one faith than would be the norm in our world, but no such suggestion is made of druids, in fact quite the opposite imo. flicking through the box sets of the TSR/WOTc box sets I have i cant see anything that supports your argument either. As a druid your power is not coming from a diety, its coming from nature. If a druid so happens to worship a nature deity its nothing but circumstance. You have me a bit more stumped from a cleric point of view but i still disagree, It is stated in pretty much every playershandbook anywhere that you can still be a cleric of no diety and are simply able to call upon divine power most suited to the task your trying to accomplish.
