[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8432334, member: 23751"] This is the second time you've repeated that the DM can change the default as if that's proof of it being the default. The DMG is talking about the DM making up new domains for existing gods, so does not apply to the default. The sage advice is saying the same thing. The DM can change the default, which is what you were decrying is the only way for the DM to stop a player from picking any domain. Now you're embracing it, because the default doesn't let you pick any domain ;) No. The books have repeatedly said that you pick from the suggested domains in the PHB. One book said the DM can create an alternate religious system where different domain are associated with a god. Short of the DM creating a new system whereby you choose a different domain than the ones listed, you can't do that. This is the quote in the DMG. You need the DM to change the domains from the suggested ones before you can choose something else. "In rules terms, clerics choose domains, not deities,[B] so your world can associate domains with deities in any way you choose[/B]." [/QUOTE]
