That is why the Divine Domains are listed for the cleric. That is why the Domain Spells are gained by clerics. That is why you say "I'm playing a Life Domain Cleric" just like you would say "I'm playing a Champion Fighter". The only time a player picks a domain for their character, is when they are picking their cleric subclass. And, let us pay attention to that phrase "pick a domain for their character". You aren't picking a domain for a God. You aren't picking a domain for your character. Your character has a domain. But the only time that makes sense is when you are gaining a subclass.If you can have sects that aren't tied to domains, then you don't need domains to have sects. They are unrelated. I can eat ground beef without eating a hamburger. So I don't need hamburgers to get ground beef. I can make ground beef into a hamburger if I want, but they aren't the same thing. So, again, Domains are not sects. You can have multiple sects within a single domain. You can have sects that are not related to any domain that currently exists. They are not related concepts. And the only time you pick a domain for your character, is when you are a cleric choosing your domain as a subclass.huh, wonder why you would cut out the reasons he would get the death domain, the knowledge domain, the war domain and focus only on the one that isn't in the PHB? By the way, when they reprinted the Order domain in Tasha's they did give it to gods that didn't have it before. So, if they wanted Apollo to have it, they would have given it to him. And, like I said before, Apollo as Phoebus and Apollo as Apollo Acesius are IRL titles that he had. Saying that we can only talk about what the game gives him, when they make clear references to his real history, is like saying we can't say that Zeus is Jupiter, because they didn't give us the Roman names. Listing a bunch of sects for Apollo that he would clearly have in an Ancient Greek DnD game isn't mental gymnastics either. It is knowing mythology and how religions and splinter groups work. And showing that, as I keep saying sects =/= domains.</blockquote>
