09-28-06, 02:36 PM I am wondering what other DM's do when their clerics 'stray'. I like to drop hints like related spells not working. I was witness to electrical shock from a deity in a tournement I played in the early 80's. I have given subtle dreams as well. Alignments are tricky and sometimes my players and I don't see eye to eye.

I have, at times, made all healing spells cast by the cleric on everyone else maximized, but only heal 1 hp on the Cleric themselves.

Bonus spells denied, Domain spells ineffective, stuff like that.

If they don't get the hint, then its normally a cut off from spellcasting until atonement.
