Because there is so much diversity among the worlds of D&D, you should check with your DM about any house rules that will affect your play of the game."By the time you get to making a character,  you will already know if the DM has changed anything.  So you are either picking from the domains associated with the gods as the DM has selected, the ones as the PHB lays out in the cleric section and Appendix B, or some combination of both.  No matter which of those it is, though, by the time you have picked cleric and are ready to choose domains, you'll be able to do it yourself since you already know how it's being done.  You won't need to check with him again unless you want to make a case for an exception of some sort.It is the case. Baseline/default is just what is in place unless things change.  From what we see in the cleric section, we know that the suggested domains in Appendix B are the baseline/default for the gods. The cleric class uses prescriptive language on how to choose domains.  The DMG doesn't come into play unless the DM wants to make changes to the default, and you've already found out if any changes have been made when you asked the DM about house rules.</blockquote>
