Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elder-Basilisk" data-source="post: 1605578" data-attributes="member: 3146">Dragonstar lets clerics of the creator simply choose any two domains (other than chaos evil and a few others) and it hasn't broken anything yet.Others have mentioned using "training" to separate domains and this is a good idea but it's important to remember that this need not imply a schism, separation or different theology from any other priests. It simply needs to refer to a different purpose. For instance, to take an example from history, mendicant Franciscan monks did not necessarily have a different theology or any different global beliefs than the knights Templar though one might say that, in a magical earth the Franciscans would get Animal, Plant, and Mysticism domains while the Templars might get War, Protection, and Nobility. The Franciscans were dedicated to different purposes than the Templars even though its likely that both would have said that they were serving the purposes of the same God and that it's at least possible that both the Franciscan and the Templar were serving those purposes equally well. To use a more indirect analogy, members of the Army, the Navy, the Marines, the Air Force, the FBI, the Secret Service, and the CIA all serve the purposes of the United States government and, to the degree that they do their jobs well, they serve those purposes more or less equally well. Yet if they trained clerics, it's likely that they'd all have different domain selections.</blockquote>
