I have two friends who I consider great DMs who I really do not ever want to play a cleric or warlock in their games (and paladin in one of them) because what they consider the cool parts of the classes (specific ways to handle the god/patron relationship in challenging ways for specific narrative feels, one overwhelmingly christian and one crapsack grimdark) are stuff I generally would not enjoy. I have had great fun playing wizards and fighters in their games though. I have also had great fun playing clerics and warlocks and paladins in other games where the DM was fine with how I wanted to play my characters focusing on other aspects of the classes.I found this came up a lot in pre 4e games where you had a bunch of things like alignment requirements for certain classes and some different emphasis on how certain classes should be handled by the DM. B/X basic does not really talk about gods nor does OD&D, while the 1e DMG talks a lot about interventionist gods and alignment tracking, and 2e and 3e are all over the place.</blockquote>
