I think it was fusangite who recently posted on his putting Christianity into his gaming world and how one would do that, good sources, etc. It got me thinking, which is very hard to do. ;=)
What I would like to know is how one would adapt D&D to a primarily monotheistic system without changing the clerical spells and domains in the PHB? I am sure things like this have been bandied about in the past – I just do not recall at this time. Fusangite seems much more open to changing and/or modifying D&D as it is than I would be. I would prefer to change my one God system to fit Core D&D.
My initial thought was that different sects of said God would be worshipped by different folks, as there are different aspects of Christianity (Catholicism, Baptist, Episcopal, etc, and then within Baptist, you have Southern and others) or aspects of Islam or aspects of Hinduism and these different sects or aspects would apply to various clerical domains. It does not have to be God from a Christian, Islamic, Jewish or other faith. It could just be Bob, the God of Jeff’s World. I'm sure I would need the equivalent of Satan for the bad side of things as well.
If it has been done here in the past, please post a link. Thanks!
