[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 6102175, member: 9037"] I would hate the idea of not being allowed to switch for a good story reason so as a DM I allow it. In my home brew one of the players started the game as a cleric of Herineous and is becoming a paladin of Bahmut. He prayed a lot and had a vision of Herineous granting him permission to switch. This was planned from the beginning because at the start of the game there were no clerics or paladins of Bahmut in the world. In my world those gods are allies and their goals are very similar and the PC has not stopped loving his first god he has just chosen to serve Bahmut in a more active role. I once played a cleric of Herineous who switched to Hextra after being tempted by the rat bastard DM. :) It was not that my character wanted to be evil it was the frustration of not being able to do things that she felt needed to be done. The government was corrupt people were starving crime was everywhere. In her eyes serving Hextra allowed her to handle these issues. I have also sen it done the other way a cleric of an evil god being redeemed and pledging service to a good god. To be the best way to accomplish the change is by role playing and allowing it to come about more naturally. A quest can be added once the PC has actually chosen to serve the new god. Now I would be unhappy if a player only wanted to switch because they wanted the cool goodies they see with another portfolio but I would find a way to accomplish it. A player unhappy with their character can wreck a game. [/QUOTE]
