[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8428740, member: 6855114"] Ouch... It has everything to do with what we were discussing. That you wish to dismiss this is beyond logic. Of course the domain is important. Saying otherwise is complete BS. Of course! But all these aspects could spur some branches off of the main church where some branches would see Moradin as the Keeper of Secrets and thus would conclude that all secrets must be kept for Moradin. An other branch might see that since Moradin IS the keeper of secret for the dwarven, it means that secrets are to be kept from non dwarven but shared. Others might even see Moradin as a deity to appeal if you want to find secrets. Both yes and know. As with all things, Moradin is more than his domain(s) (if you count the forge domain). You can apply his domains to his portfolio and thus create more than one sect for each combinations of domain(s) and portfolio(s). This makes for an interesting RP religion wise. As shown per Maxperson and his quote on the Acolytes. You are far off the road. Only the cleric has any power comming from a domain, but the Acolyte has to consider which domain/aspect of his deity he wishes to follow. That says a lot. Wheter you want or not. Denying this is denying the words written in the PHB. But if you wish to homebrew a limitation, fine by me. And? This is the same example as with Moradin. And nothing in the rules prevents a DM to chose an other domain for Chauntea either. Not all gods needs to have many sects/churches. Only those you wish. Geez, why are you restraining yourself so much? Wrong. Domains do not necessarily equals Aspects/sects/ect... but they can. Why would you restrict yourself? We never said that the fighter (or any non cleric) will benefits from a domain with spells and powers. (Tough it might be fun to have/try). We said that the non caster HAS TO consider which domain of his deity he wishes to follow. By choosing the acolyte background, the player chooses a restriction for himself to follow. And that is great! No two clerics of the same god is forced to be same. They might even be rivals. The same with acolytes. You tried to choose deities with only one domain as a way to debunk the Acolyte background. But it does not work that way. Of course, with a god with only one domain, the choice is non existent (but I have shown you that you can create many sects/branches anyways with only one domain if you want to). BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTT! As soon as a deity has two or more domains, the choice becomes quite important! It can define a character as much as it will define a cleric. Yes no power will come from that choice. But it can spur quite a roleplay spin that can translate into loads of fun and to a character with a very vibrant background. [/QUOTE]
