Message: <blockquote data-quote="Herobizkit" data-source="post: 2703994" data-attributes="member: 36150">to ForceUserJust a question about your Clerics, ForceUser.  This may veer into a dangerous territory, but I'd like to know... if your campaign world is monotheistic, how did it become so, or was it always so?I ask because I both support and denounce your decision to use Grace for your Clerics.I support it because, as others have stated, it adds flavour to an otherwise normally bland character class.  Forcing a restriction on acceptance into your campaign's monotheistic religion, you essentially cut out 90-95% of the nonsense of trying to maintain a cadre of religions scattered about your campaign world, which MUST save on bookkeeping. <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=":)" />I denounce it because, well, it IS restrictive.  I've never been a supporter of enforced restrictions on principle, and to make a player choose only one type of priest or none at all seems pretty harsh.  If a player does not wish to RP acc'd to your campaign's Cleric credo, they cannot play a Cleric, which in turn cripples their party abilities.  No healer = shorter forays into the unknown, longer waiting periods between recuperation, massive amounts of gold to dump on the local Church for the privelege of being treated (and thus draining their coffers which were expected to go into magic items/equipment, potentially crippling their party growth), and that's just a start. *G*If yow want your Clerics to act like Paladins, why not just make Clerics = Paladins and make the regular "pagan" Clerics as per RAW?That aside, I wonder what or who your campaign's Clerics fight against.  "Evil" seems too general a foe for such a group of Clerics.  Are there any repercussions for being a failed priest (ie. someone Fallen from Grace, and could you PLAY such a character?), or pretending to be a priest, or following a non-campaign Church sponsored religion (if there are any?)I guess I'm just rambling now, but in short, I'd like to know more about your take on the big JC in a D&D setting.  Feel free to e-mail, PM, or post here if you'd like to share your vision.</blockquote>
