[QUOTE="Storyteller01, post: 3017417, member: 20931"] Evil is a mighty deceptive thing, and evil gods are just as powerful as the good ones... Those that worship an evil deity at the head of a good church are being protected by their deity. As far as the good god knows, they still worship him/her/it. They still gain spells from the good god while gaining a boost of sorts from the evil god. Maybe one domain is replaced with another, maybe the ability to rebuke undead (it could look like a turning if you word the command correctly), or something similar. While still acting as head of the church they can't cast evil spells, but may continuie to cast good spells. There are plenty of magic items that a high level cleric can procure that hide alignments. When the evil priests are discovered, they lose their connection with their good god and (hopefully) replace it with that of the evil god. If the good god is willing to risk open war, they can send angels to kill the cleric. The evil god can just as easily send demons/devils as a counter. My two cents... [/QUOTE]
