[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8435952, member: 23751"] Perhaps, but this is not anywhere near the point where it stops being about the rules and becomes about control. This is about player entitlement. You feel entitled to violate the rules and do whatever you want. When you can quote even a single thing from the PHB that says you can pick any domain you want, I'll listen. So far you haven't. The DMG is clear that the DM decided the domains. That one is easy. It's because there's no poetry or song domain and they had to give her something. This is the result of 5e deficiency in making a lot of domains. Light is the closest domain to music. My father had one of the largest light shows in the late '60s and early '70s and did shows at the Filmore West. Go to a concert and lights are everywhere. It's not perfect, but it's what they had to work with. You are assuming that humans weren't made in the form of the original gods and/or that worship doesn't affect the gods when we know that it does. Sure they could. Humans made in the image of the pre-existing human gods, or gods that became human through the overwhelming majority human worship. Oooookay. Artwork that 100% in all editions shows them as human proves nothing, but a tenuous similarity between the planer races proves that they are all "planetouched." :rolleyes: Cool story, but secret knowledge of the rules isn't anything I said or claimed. The rules there are for the DM's USE only. Not player use. Feel free to learn them. You don't get to enact them without DM permission. [/QUOTE]
