Cerebus, God of the Dead, is Neutral Evil. His domains (so far) are Death and Evil. I want him to have the Law Domain, owing to the fact that he is the Great Judge; the one who judges the souls of the dead to determine their path in the Underworld. Would this be feasible?

From the sound of that description, he should probably be Lawful Neutral. He just tells people were to go when they die, and he's very apperantly lawful if he's a judge.

It depends if Law means a code that is accepted and followed by a group or if Law represents Order.

I think its perfectly fine, as a Law that upholds free speech isn't really a law supporting Order against Chaos.

Make Cerebus a LN god with a very E bent. Or make him straight up LE.

If a God should have the law domain, then he should probably have a lawful alignment anyway.

I think I'd only give out the Law domain to a Neutral god if he also had access to the Chaos domain...the whole balance thing. I'll add my vote for a Lawful Neutral alignment shift for the god in question.

By the rules, no. The aligned domains are only available to gods with the appropriate alignment.

Cerebus needs an alignment shift. Sounds good. Thanks, everyone!
