If the player was intending to be a cleric of the fateful journey, and you have no god that could possibly fill that role, then perhaps it IS a failing of your pantheon, or your failure to explain the setting (ie - there is the imperial cult pantheon and no others). I really see this as strangling some good character concepts.There are an awful lot of character concepts that are a waste of time and space without some rules to back them up (ie - a fighter wizard). Most often those rules will come from PrC's.If you just say it that way, with nothing to back it up, then it's just unnecessarily removing some character concepts from the game. I mean are there truly no elves that have faith in a god? And no humans who want to study the arcane arts?On the whole, you seem to be saying "screw the players, I don't care if they have fun/want to play/get to play the character they envisioned."Your responses (imagined and inferred from the responses above, and backed up by the tone of your posts), seem to all be of the "no, you can't have this" variety, rather than "Well, given facts X, Y and Z, how can you explain your character?".What IS the rationale behind "no barbarians", "no elven clerics" and "no human wizards"??</blockquote>
