[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 6840263, member: 6802951"] It is possible to have a cleric of a religion of a different alignment to that religion, and even to go against its tenets. None of the Eberron religions apart from maybe the Undying Court actually have a being worshipped actually able to judge their worshipper. However the point to bear in mind is that belief is still necessary. A cleric still believes in the religion, and that they are doing its work even when their actions would shock the majority of followers. Its probably due to the individual twisting the concepts, or taking one of the tenets to extremes and ignoring the others. Or they might be part of a splinter church that does so. Has the character detailed his Oath of Vengeance? He should have at least stated what the evil he has sworn it against is. Was it against his patron? Pretty much all of the potential patrons are able to appear to the character in dreams or visions, and generally willing to deceive in order to get what they want. If the player wants his character to think that he is married to a goddess, then the character can indeed think that, whether his patron is actually Vol, a demon trapped in the Silver Flame, a Quori or whatever else you might decide it actually is. One last thought: you might be wanting to consider whether you are willing to allow the Oathbreaker Paladin for PC play. Even if the player isn't actively planning on becoming one for the synergy with Undying One Warlock, there is a chance that it may come up is the character starts ignoring their Oath. [/QUOTE]
