[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9173600, member: 7035894"] The obvious advantage is that it is a fun class that has been around almost since the inception of D&D, it has a clear class identity replicated in pretty much every RPG, and it is popular. Nor does it pigeonhole anyone into anything. In D&D 3/13 classes are predicated on one's religious beliefs (cleric, paladin, druid) and a 4th is religion adjacent, depending on the nature of the warlock's relationship with their patron. Plus there are backgrounds such as acolyte available to everyone. Plus there are tons of examples of religious people who are [I]not[/I] clerics, including in the MM. Plus you can RP however you like and we've all seen examples of people choosing to RP characters for whom religion plays a significant role, despite not being cleric. This thread has yet to present a single convincing premise in support of the ridiculous, clickbait-ish title. Also, it doesn't belong in this subforum because obviously. [/QUOTE]
