Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greenfield" data-source="post: 6339479" data-attributes="member: 6669384">One of the players at our table wants to run a Cleric of Talia, a deity from Deities and Demigods.  As far as I can tell, the deity is purely a gaming fantasy construct, with no historical basis in any culture.The deity is described as being all encompassing.  Her followers swear that she is the only deity, that no others exist and that all other Clerics are false.She has two aspects:  She is the creator, the life giver, the sun.  She is also the darkness, death and destruction.  There are two separate Domain lists for her, one for each aspect.The book says that generally her Clerics follow a particular Sect, and that while the sects may cooperate at times, each chooses either the Creator aspect or the Destroyer aspect.  The player wants to have his character worship both, and wants to claim one domain from each list.  He said he never knew about the separation, the way the sects choose one aspect ot the other.He also notes that the book says they "generally" choose such a sect.  He wants his character to be the exception.The domains he wants are War and Magic.  The War domain gives his character a martial weapon proficiency and Weapon Focus in Battle Axe, and the Magic Domain lets him use Arcane items.  (He was hinting that his character should be able to Scribe arcane scrolls one he gets the Scribe feat, even though he can[t actually prepare any Arcane spells, other than those granted by his Domain.  )Arguments pro and con:Pro:  It does say "generally", not "must".  Con:  That "generally" applies to following an organized sect, not the worship of just one aspect.  The domain lists are separated for a reason.What would you say:  Allow or disallow?(Note:  My vote is one and only one of eight at the table, and is by no means final).</blockquote>
