Even in a simple case of better Dex and size he may hit with less punch, but has a better defense than his half-orc peer. He can still be on par and just as valuable a fighter as the half-orc.Same with a cleric of the god of home and hearth. He wouldn't be on par in direct conflict with the enemy, but his protective wards should be him on par with his war-devoted counterpart. Storywise there are equal validations I can see for either type of priest to be bound to their home or to go out to adventure. I think you already envision a default for why the home and hearth cleric would stay home. But, equally so, a war cleric isn't really going to war when he delves into some dungeon. Conflict at home could just as easily keep him there.</blockquote>
