It is like the domains, should each cleric domain be a separate class? Each cleric could be a different class, the "Healing domain cleric" should be completely different than the "War  domain cleric". Why not separate them out into different classes? Should not each domain be separate and distinct? Why lump them all together into this big pot and call it a cleric? This line of thinking is a very similar for how I view the innate magic class and its potential heritage. Sorcerer can have several different heritages: infernal, draconic, psionic, fey, elemental to name a few. These would be synonymous with the domains and how they are a specialty that makes the cleric class feel different in play.To pull it back further, I really enjoyed 2e and how their was a basal understanding of the classes and different campaign worlds put spins on a the core set of classes. 3e and certainly 4e turned the corner on this concept. Point being what campaign assumptions have to be in play with the various different heritages and classes. If it is in the PHB, generally it is in the game (of course hard nosed DMs can say no). This gets into the idea of fewer classes with more options on them or more classes but more specific.</blockquote>
