[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8428476, member: 6801228"] This literally has nothing to do with what we are discussing. Uh huh, and therefore since you can have different sects following the same aspect of the god, then there isn't really anything in the domain that makes it special for the acolyte. Domains are only the mechanics for clerics. That is it. Take for instance the PHB version of Moradin. He only has the Knowledge domain. Could you have a worshiper of Moradin as a Master of the Forge and master of craft? Yes. Could you have a worshiper of Moradin as the God of warriors protecting the home? Yes. Could you have a worshiper of Moradin as the aspect of stone and mountains? Yes. The domain has nothing to do with it. The aspects of Moradin, the things his worship is related to, that's what matters. And none of that requires Domains. Domains are only the mechanical tool for Cleric subclasses. Think of this for a moment. Chauntea is the Goddess of Agriculture. She has only a single Domain. Life. So, does picking the Life domain tell you anything about how your character worships Chauntea? No. You might worship her as the goddess of the harvest, or the goddess of spring growth, or the goddess of harmony with nature, or the goddess of mothers, none of which have anything to do with Domains. Domains =/= Aspects/Sects/ect And that question has zero bearing on Domains, which are cleric subclasses. I'm not saying you can't have aspects. I'm saying that a fighter doesn't get to pick a domain, they get to pick a Martial Archetype. Domains might hint at ideas for differentiating a god or goddess into different aspects, but they aren't related directly. [/QUOTE]
