[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8402817, member: 23751"] Just to step in a bit. In 2e the listed worshipper alignment for Nerull was Any Evil. You could not be neutral. I think it's right that a lot of prior clerics of fiends would be Warlocks under today's rules, but I think that there would still be a fair number of clerics. Warlocks are people who are making deals with fiends for power. Clerics are those that worship them as gods. It's a different mindset and someone who worships the ground that fiends walk on isn't going go the warlock route. They'll worship and gain clerical spells and abilities from their faith. I will also note that you can be a warlock who makes deals with gods for power, so they need to be included on the side of good as well. It wasn't a domain that made a paladin a paladin of a cause. It was the lack of a being to pledge to. In 5e a paladin of a god or other powerful being is not a paladin of a cause, even with the lack of a domain. Clerics, paladins and warlocks vs. clerics, paladins and warlocks is more accurate. It's just the percentage of each that will vary between the two sides. [/QUOTE]
