[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8436106, member: 6801228"] So you say, but again, I don't agree with you about the rules being bound in iron and unalterable except by the unlimited power of the DM. I don't even agree that doing something as basic as a war domain cleric of Moradin is against the intent of the game rules. You haven't before, so why would you start now? The origin of poetry comes from spoken epics that recorded history. Music also has a strong tradition in history. So, why not the Knowledge domain? Oh right, because the designers didn't think about that, so trying to play a knowledge domain cleric of poetry is me being entitled and breaking the rules. Not me seeing an obvious and perfectly legal connection between what my character is about and what the god would be about. Instead, the medieval would has light shows like what were found in the 1960's and 1970's. You know, before the invention of the lightbulb or the laser or even concerts we totally had concerts with laser light shows, so gods of music can allow you to throw fireballs. I do agree that had to give him something to have as a suggested domain. I just disagree with you that I'm breaking any rules at all by going beyond their suggestions. If you mean "I know the lore of the Forgotten Realms" then, yes, you are right. I do know the lore of the forgotten realms. and the things you are talking about didn't happen. Honestly, this is almost kind of embarrassing. Do some research. [ATTACH type="full"]145639[/ATTACH] Yeah, I mean I know so many humans who have tree branches growing out of their heads. And being short and stocky clearly is a human only body type, not like we have dwarves or halflings who could look like this. Human is the only possible answer. So only the DM is allowed to know that players can pick their own domain? Weird, it would seem that's something the player should know, since they are the one who gets to pick it. [/QUOTE]
