Races and the Gods
Your race will affect your ability to worship gods.
Note: The Arenthyor pantheon and how follower/cleric/deity relations work in this realm are intended to be close to the 3E D&D game. You must adhere to these guidelines if you expect to be able to function as a cleric or worship at a church. Additionally, not all gods have temples readily available.
Here are the rules you MUST follow for your PC to be able to join a church:
1) You must be of a race or subrace that is acceptable to the deity.
2) You must be of an alignment that is acceptable to the deity.
3) If a cleric or other divine spellcaster (paladin, blackguard, champion of Torm, etc...) you must adhere to the domains of the deity.
4) There may be other requirements of the deity (e.g. to be a cleric of Lolth, you must be female)
