[QUOTE="abirdcall, post: 7925137, member: 6748898"] Right, definitely wrong. The more important thing is which Death deity do they worship? And what is the deity's take on these things. Clerics of the same deity often behave in different ways too as they can represent different aspects of the deity. In the time of playing 5e it has only actually come up once when a player made a character that I said no, I don't want to play with that character. They made a Trickery Domain Cleric and didn't want to worship a deity. I said, 'no problem', you can represent the ideals of the philosophy of trickery and a deity will bestow upon you your powers. Afterall, a trickery deity wouldn't want open worshippers in the first place. But nope, they only wanted the powers of the class and none of the identity. That just didn't fly for me as it is counter to the fiction we are playing in. Yeah, a player can have a preference but that doesn't mean the table has to yield to it. Right, okay.
