[QUOTE="WalterKovacs, post: 4235240, member: 63763"] Also, the reason why a god may be lenient with his follower? Well, the follower is a PC, with class levels. Having class levels makes that character a "point of light". Clerics, especially one with quite a few levels, isn't exactly common. Similar to the old "attonement" type rituals ... certain gods will give you a slap on the wrist, and a promise from you not to do it again, should you break the rules. Excommunication would only be in extreme circumstances ... and you could probably find another god that would be glad to catch you on the rebound ;) So instead of a Paladin falling and becoming a Blackguard ... he swaps to an evil diety and perhaps has to swap a couple powers [since it seems that dieties have some powers specific to them for the divine characters to get access to.] [/QUOTE]
