| Mar 10, 2023 at 20:02 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | The rules don’t clearly lay out a sense of which of these rules is “primary” here Now I get a better sense of why the "Specific beats general" rule arrived in 5e, but then one gets to discuss which is general and which is specific .... | |
| Mar 10, 2023 at 15:08 | comment | added | KRyan | @HeyICanChan I trimmed the sentence because it was a tangent inside a tangent, but I was referring to the cleric’s ability to trade in a domain for the corresponding devotion. Can’t do that if you can’t get the domain in the first place. That said, they “signify a character’s dedication to a particular religious ideal,” so if you are dedicated to evil as a religious ideal, that seems like it’s going to make you evil if you weren’t already. But mostly it was just that I was trying to be brief. Er, -er. | |
| Mar 10, 2023 at 15:01 | comment | added | Hey I Can Chan | Minor nitpick on a fine answer: Where's the restriction on domain feats? I can see where it says that the DM must approve that the 2nd fits thematically with the 1st, but otherwise it looks like you can totally be a LG cleric with the Chaos and Evil Devotion feats if you can con the DM into it (The saintly path is twisted and ill-lit or whatever). | |
