There are just good Clerics and evil Clerics, but they have the same powers.In the Core Rulebook, the same should probably be true, although it's probably appropriate to have a discussion of the role of deities in the game. (And the same with the Paladin, if included.)However, in the supplements (and especially settings) they can then introduce deity-specific powers/feats/talents/whatever - some aimed solely at Clerics... but there's no great reason there couldn't be such things for other characters too. Then, if a PC is dedicated to a particular god, they get to add the deity-specific stuff to their list of options when choosing powers for their character. (Some settings can require that Clerics be dedicated to one of the gods, or not.)FWIW, I would suggest the same with regard to alignment - don't include it in the core, but provide options for it in supplements/DDI for those who want it.</blockquote>
