[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8412232, member: 6855114"] Sahuagins worship Sekolah, the Devil Shark... So yeah... they are "devil" worshipers. Same with Ixic.. Ixichat... Devil Manta Rays that worship Demogorgon. Not that none of these races can have clerics higher than 8th level (in the MM. 5th for the Sahuagins in DDG, inconsistencies again). Barring them from the 5th level spells that only gods could give... Also, a rule might not have been printed yet, but it was used way before that as it was known that they were playtesting their rules back in the old days... Some of them were appearing in the Dragon Magazines way before being official. That is why there was a clarification in the DDG for who could get 5th level spells and up. As for the City of Greyhawk boxed set. 1 exception! Only one exception and all of a sudden, it becomes the norm? And may I remind you that this Box Set was published under 2nd edition. (Had to check mine to be sure. The 2nd Edition logo is right there). The only true exception in 1ed was Banak a priest of Orcus... And again, this was printed in the FR. In Greyhawk, as of 1ed, no exceptions in any of the adventures published. 2nd edition rose the power level of NPC to the skies and it had to "shake" the box to do it. And well it did, using the FR as a flagship to all these powerful NPCs... And as for rule interpretations... That is possible to do it the way you do. I gave you that. What I contest is that the power level of these cleric are nowhere near that of even a single demi-god. (at least in 1ed). And yet, exceptions were made. Damn that Banak. This one always bothered me to no end. [/QUOTE]
