This is not to say that you can ignore the suggested domains. It means to pick one of the suggested domain that will most suit your character. I am starting to believe that you read not the words, but what you want to read. Yes, stretching the meaning could be done. But it fails any close scrutini.The actual read is reinforced with this quote: "Alternatively, your choice of domain could simply be a matter of personal preference, the aspect of the deity that appeals to you most." So the domain chosen must represent the deity at some point. And guess what? They provided some with the appendix and in the DMG.In the DMG, it is even suggested that if you want to create your own pantheons jyou just have to pick one domain and assigned each one to a single god. This says a lot in itself. A god can be tied to only one domain and all clerics of that domain will belong to that god! Allowing two or three choices just make a god more powerful and more appealing to a wider variety of worshippers. In fact, only in the monotheistic part, domains are clearly an open choice. But even then, it is an aspect of the One God that you will choose to worship/champion. In real world therms, you are Jesuite, a Templar, a Trappist or a member of some order of the One God. But all members of these orders are taking the same domain... On that, good night. Have to work tomorrow.</blockquote>
