[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 2841455, member: 2011"] Domains are not just a veneration aspect. It is an aspect boon for clerical worshippers. The deity gives the Domain ability to the worshipper. I can maybe understand a Chaotic deity allowing switching of this (but even this is suspect), but not a Lawful deity. Think of it like "KD gives MarkB a gift". Later on, MarkB comes up to KD and says "You know, I just do not want this gift anymore. Give me a different one instead." If I was a deity, I would be insulted if a worshipper was dissatisfied with gifts I give him. In our gaming community, there is a growing sense of entitlement. If it is in a book, the player is entitled to take it. In this case, the PC is entitled to the Domain and entitled to change the Domain. No, the deity grants the Domain. The PC is not entitled to change anything given to him by a deity. IMO. Nor should a character even want to change his Domain. As if one aspect of the deity is "not good enough". It just feels like powergaming and metagaming, and not real roleplaying. Again, IMO. I'm sure that some players could plausibly justify any change they want, but it still feels like metagaming and not roleplaying. [/QUOTE]
