[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8434379, member: 23751"] If you've read class descriptions, the domains related to the deities are the suggested domains from Appendix B. So... 5e PH Page 58 under Divine Domain: "[B]Choose one domain related to your deity[/B]: Knowledge, Life, Light, Nature, Tempest, Trickery, or War. Each domain is detailed at the end of the class description, and each one provides examples of gods associated with it. Your choice grants you domain spells and other features when you choose it at 1st level." Becomes, choose one of the suggested domains for the god chosen in Appendix B. And the following... 5e PH Page 59 under Divine Domains: "In a pantheon, every deity has influence over different aspects of mortal life and civilization, called a deity's domain. All the domains over which a deity has influence are called the deity's portfolio. For example, the portfolio of the Greek god Apollo includes the domains of Knowledge, Life, and Light. As a cleric, you [B]choose one aspect of your deity's portfolio[/B] to emphasize, and you are granted powers related to that domain." Are also the suggested domains in Appendix B, as portfolio = domain. The DM chooses the setting, which comes with gods. The default domains are those listed in the PHB. The DM has the option of adding more domains per the DMG or creating alternate religion(s). There's no ambiguity that I can see. The DMG gives full authority to the DM to decide domains and alternate religions. The player can only pick from the defaults listed in Appendix B and/or those provided by the DM. I disagree. The cleric class tells the player to choose from Appendix B. Those don't require the DM's approval, though if he opts to the DM can change those lists. [/QUOTE]
