But I get to do that, because it's my campaign world.  Of course you're role-playing. (For the record, let's not turn this into a paladin thread--ugh). But to me, that is not a character with a connection to the divine, and I would not allow that concept as a divine spellcaster IMC. No offense, but giving to charity does not make one spiritual, it makes one generous. However, I have no problem with it in your campaign, it's just not what I do. If you're having fun, great! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />It is incredibly difficult to live righteously, from a Judeo-Christian perspective (upon which the clerics in my world are based). That is why the concept of sin is so prevalent in such cultures--as an aside, I would love to explore in a future campaign how D&D's concept of exaltedness might interact with Eastern religions, whose primary concern is not sin, but suffering. I appreciate the interest and the input. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />In fact, he does. He's going to attempt to walk the path laid out in the BoED. I'm looking forward to it.Bleh. Druids have a distinct place IMC, and urban areas isn't one of them. I am not one of those DMs that allows every option from every book--I allow many, many options, but always tailored to specific cultures and regions. Druidism is the priesthood of a culture of Germanic Celts in my world, and as such is rooted in that region alone.</blockquote>
