They've almost always been that way save for in 2E when Faiths and Avatars made them highly interesting and unique by way of specialty priests. I've always felt clerics needed to be written with a specific god in mind. The generic cleric one size fits all domains makes them uninteresting. Clerics should be as different as the religions they represent. I imagine it is not profitable to write a book detailing clerics and religion. I keep wishing WotC would produce a book of that caliber for clerics again. It hasn't happened. Even Pathfinder chose to go the generic domain route for clerics. Not enough people play clerics to put the effort in to create a book filled with specialty priests. I'd love it myself, but I'm in the minority.I think the new cleric paradigm would fit perfectly with a specialty priest book. Given they only take one domain, they could instead take one god or goddess and gain the powers a priest of that goddess or goddess provide rather than a domain. Instead of picking trickery, you pick to be a priest of Tempus with specific abilities that only priests of Tempus have. They could do it much like they did the Paladin domains providing a code of ethics each priest follows including holidays that help maintain the abilities. I hope they have some kind of plans like that in the future. I may even develop this type of material for our world campaign. I think it would be amazing. I can use the domain structure as a guideline for building each god or goddess.</blockquote>
