Clerics must match Deity - Starting Today

[Jrk-]

I thought at one point the rule was that the cleric only had to have ONE of the deities domains instead of both, and I actually thought that worked pretty well personally. I mean I would never take like healing and evil domains if I was a follower of Ilmater, but I do normally like to take the healing domain with my clerics and if he is say.. a follower or Tyr or Helm, technically he can't have that domain which seems kind of harsh for people who like that domain.

thats my point, i dont think we should box people in a box like that, ofcourse if you are bane you should not take healing.. But what about make it like wizard Necromancer cannot take Illution spell , and other way around. that mean if you are bane you cannot take healing domain but you can take fire and war and so on.. instead of only box them to their deities..

ps. i understod in the post that you should take both doamain's that complete with the deiti.. and not just one .. hmm..

Nope, LH told me you need both domains to fit.

try the quote funktion it works great

so i understod the post correctly, but that makes it more to box a cleric.

I agree. But Clerics are one of the toughest classes in the game, so that might explain these RP requirements.

I don't feel the need to quote people unless I am referencing details of their posts.

well i dont know who you refers to, so thats why i want you to quote

but then cleric's whould be so useless, there like only 4 domain that gives something you can use to anything really good. thats why its should not be boxed..

Make it like the wizard that i whould understand so the oppesit domain you cant have, but only to take the domains that goes for your god, argg.. that messes up the whole cleric thing imo.

Thats what clerics are supposed to do. It's DnD.

Amen to that (no pun intended)

Look, this is a RP server. Gods have domains, clerics worship Gods, therefore they should follow their domain else they are not doing a very good job. You think a God is going to care if some other God's domain gives better power gaming ability and let them follow that instead? Hell no. Its more like 'Worship me and follow my domain or else you are soon going to find your prayers are falling on deaf ears.'

This is the way it should be.

IYO it is, so then the cleric should not multiclass eighter, cos that will also go against his deiti and the meaning of a holy warrior. meaning cleric should not muticlass with a monk or frenze beserker? all im saying dont limit cleric's as a class.

ps. if this is RP minded nerf of the cleric then we should strip paladin's power if he/she loot's from chests mob and other items cos thats against a paladin deiti.!

It comes down to balancing roleplay and fun. Everybody plays to have fun, but this is a roleplay server - that means the rules are going to be more tight than on an action server. Where the line is drawn may seem arbitrary, but that's the way it goes - the devs have ruled and it's doubtful that this is going to change.

sure sure, but atleast they should hear people's opinions and im not refering to a Action server, you are

and why arent people answering to my questions, you only conclude what you read and re-approve the dev's decision.

No, according to D&D rules it is, NWN2 just doesn't enforce this. Sundren, however, does.

all im saying dont limit cleric's as a class.

You think clerics need more power? Its not limiting it at all (well its stopping powergaming but then as before, this is a roleplay server) its just enforcing the proper rules befitting a RP server.

I mean really, seriously, would a cleric, a devoted worshipper of his/her God really, I mean really, worship anyone other Gods domain?

Would a God really, really, keep dishing out spells to someone who isn't even following him properly?

[wangxiuming]

What is your question? I thought you were just asking why clerics have restricted domains - the reason is Sundren's theme is trying to stay true to the original pen & paper rules.

Actually I think its just that we agree

ok you two

1.Question: Why make these rules for claric classes?
Answer: i got the answer

2.Question: Why not do it like the wizards. If you are a necromancer you cannot have Illusion spell. and so on

3.Question: i know this is a RP server and a good one,but if its really so ruled by D&D rules then why not strip a paladin for his powers if he/she loots from a chest,monster, or anything else cos thats against his deiti.! ( you know im against that but its just to give you a point of view of dont go so much into D&D rules. )

thats all folks
