Shar has a replacement in the Shadow Weave, but other than that, deities rely on the Weave as much as mortals do, I believe. So even if they are sending to their own power to their clerics, they are using the Weave to do it. | |
| Jul 3, 2022 at 16:01 | comment | added | KRyan | @VictorB These kinds of ideological positions are usually at the class level. Power source has a lot of meaning with respect to how the power is gained or exercised; you pray for divine spells vs. study for wizard spells, etc. It’s just that these differences don’t tend to be things that others object to. (Also, to an extent, it’s that 5e has largely elided these distinctions—we don’t even really have, say, bard, sorcerer, and wizard grouped as “arcane” anymore. Past editions did somewhat more with it, though still rarely in a way that made users of one predisposed towards users of another.) | |

It was more of the "druids oppose all things unnatural, good clerics oppose all things evil." part that I was trying to get at more than the school of magic. Though, I did think that the source of the spellcaster's power did hold more meaning. But I am confused on that second to last question: I thought Mystra gave arcana while divine and nature were two other sources... | |
