[QUOTE="RoughCoronet0, post: 9166561, member: 7031665"] Well for my world, only those with incredibly strong faith can connect to the divine magic of their chosen deity, pantheon, or themed grouping of deities. Only great champions or very high ranking priest of the various faiths tend to have cleric levels. On top of that, clerics only have access to certain types of spells through their gods (the clerics’s divine spell list and subclass spells). Those who follow the clerical path are more interesting in upholding the divine doctrines of their gods, or spreading said doctrine. But those that wish to follow a deity more practically might take up a different tradition to do so. Clerics that follow and spread the word of Hepsue would be Forge Clerics, but a faithful that wants to further his personal devotion to the God of Smithing and Artificery without dealing with the temples or more religious folk would most likely become an Artificer instead. Basically, clerics are the truly faithful that wish to spread and exemplify that faith outwardly and protect that faith, while those who are more interested in a more personally sense of revelry would more likely take up a trade or tradition that honors that deity.
