Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shallown" data-source="post: 1604938" data-attributes="member: 1368">I ran a mono-theological world once. I basically had one God that had Aspects and saints. An Aspect would be an idea or concept like conflict then under that Aspect where the saints who held specific areas like A saint of negotiation, or a saint of war. Basically you would choose domains on the basis of saints. What saints did is the interceded for the cleric on their behalf to commune with the God. Sort of based on catholic structure of saints. They aren't minor Gods or anything like that they were once living people who exemplified certain ideas and because of that they cam to God's attention and therefore can help the cleric to come to his attention.Christianity has many sects orders etc even within single religions like Catholicism. Build your domains around those sects and orders. If someone worships The God in an effort to pick choice domains let them have the spells but no powers and instead give them a generic power instead so they can't pick and choose choice domains.I used it for several campaigns but ended up discarding it due to the lack of conflict between the inner sects. I didn't handle it the way I now know it should have been handled having studied a little more history and realizing that the sects would actually war with each other at times. I think my hang up is it wasn't flowing well the fact that in a D&D based world that Gods have physical evidence they exist so itis hard to argue/war over beliefs when there were physical proof of how was right. Why a God would encourage( by granting two sides clerical gifts/spells) or allow that level of conflict I couldn't resolve to my satisfaction. It may have just been my mind set at the time.It may prove interesting to introduce heretical relgions brought in myoutsiders and such. Most my gaminggroups never were much interested in relgious conflicts , just are they good guys or bad guys. Moral delimnas couldn't be too ambigious.later</blockquote>
