In Eberron setting where the gods are generally 'distant' (as in reall life) this would work. In Eberron you can have an LG paladin taking orders from a secretly LE leader whose the head of a LG church. You dont have to be within one alignment step of your god-your power comes ONLY from your faith-not your adherence to anything. You could in fact be a terrible person and still believe you are doing your LG gods work or lie that you are. 2. IMC currently this is not the case, you could attempt such a thing but you would would have to fake it wearing the holy symbol of the church, while actually surving another god or being a Blackguard unless you were an Ur Priest. IMC its no secret about what and whom the gods actually do and dont approve of. Now a priest of the LG church could certainly become misguided, but the moment he goes to lengths of killing some innocent person? BOOM. No powers, thats severe enough for severance. He would undoubtedly know he had done something wrong...unless he was THAT deluded as you see here: <a href="http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0407.html" target="_blank">Giant In the Playground Games</a><a href="http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0408.html" target="_blank">Giant In the Playground Games</a><a href="http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0409.html" target="_blank">Giant In the Playground Games</a> The other way to run a similar kind of scenario IMC would for the characters to not actually be clerics. Not everybody in a church or working for one is divinely empowered, it wouldnt be so obvious if they were another class. Furthermore almost every town can have a church, but they dont always have clerics.  OF COURSE-it is entirely possible to become corrupt by following an otherwise non-evil deities dogma overzealously as you may see in the case of Lawbringer Hemtose from the Exemplars of Evil Web Enhancement. The document on the villain is no longer availiable on wizards page, but its reproduced on this forum here, just do a ctrl+f and search for him or just scroll down. OH-and mind you despite the fact he's become a "bad guy" he is still in fact Lawful NEUTRAL! The PCs do NOT always have to fight Evil aligned enemies! Oh and Hemtose right hand man? A Gray Guard. <a href="http://www.myth-weavers.com/showthread.php?t=26785" target="_blank">http://www.myth-weavers.com/showthread.php?t=26785</a> Here's a few excerpts</blockquote>
