[QUOTE="JiffyPopTart, post: 7921011, member: 4881"] I actually agree with [USER=23751]@Maxperson[/USER] that its not much of a stretch to believe that the concept of a "domain" would be an in-character thing. It would be easy to refer to Ra as "The god of light and fire" and then have clerics choose which path they wish to follow. That being said, it then is a pretty big stretch to imagine clerics discussing the following, which is the logical conclusion of "Everything in the PHB is a rule and is reflected in-game similarly as it is described in the book". Cleric 1: I think I am going to sign up for the Fire domain. While the First Level spells it grants me are pretty much the same as if I chose Light, I kind of like the Channel Divinity power it grants a lot more. Plus someday when I have gained enough levels I really want that Fireball spell. Cleric 2: Yea, I see your point, but I think later i'm going to multiclass into a Sorcerer and get Fireball that way. That way I can also get some metamagic...I think i'll probably choose to maximize that sucker! Cleric 3: So, what are you guys going to pick later when we get feats? Cleric 1: Actually....i'm one of those types of Humans that learned one already. I chose to learn Heavy Armor Specialization because they rated my Constitution at only a 10, and I feel like I need to beef myself up to go fight some goblins. I'm totally going to be focusing on my Wisdom instead of learning a new feat later, though. [/QUOTE]
