11-22-06, 03:53 PM Eberron introduces the fact that alignment shouldn't be so strict.

In the cleric description of ECS, the possibility to follow an entire pantheon than a god.

Two of my players thought so a good character can strangely follow an evil deity. He will fear this deity, but venerate him.

What about this ?
I think that the rule about a patron deity still applicate. (N, LE, CE, for a NE deity). And for entire pantheon ? The Dark Six is NE, so what about cleric's alignment ? Must be NE, or can have the same variation than a patron deity ?
Or are my player's right ?

I've read english version of ECS (I'm french, sorry :p). It is clearly writen "cleric's alignment need not remain within one step of her deity's alignment".

So, is the character of my player, a Loyal Good Daelkyr Half-Blood cleric wich venerate (fear is a better word) The Moquery seems to be legal.
So he should have been corrupted by the Good.

Can anyone definitely confirm this ?

What a mess in order to simply have War and Destruction Domain :confused:

Any other question. Can this character bought 50 breed leech (real number limited by EV, off course), adding 5+2 hit points per leech ? :weep:

While I don't recall it specifically saying, I would think it would effectively be the same source for bonus hp, so it wouldn't stack.
