Cleric who worships multiple gods...

[V'rass]

So i have an idea for a cleric who worships several gods rather then just one. I already rp my cleric as serving the Triad but i wonder if there is a way to actually do that for real. Say i have my cleric serving the good pantheon, he would worship all the good aligned gods and would be able to take any combination of the domains offered by those gods. So a cleric could take say the water and magic domain as at least 2 of the pantheon offer those domains. He could be any good alignment since the gods of his pantheon are all good. I don't think this would even require any mechanical changes to the server, simply pick one of the good gods, choose 2 of any domains offered by those gods, and rp serving the entire good pantheon. Can it be done?

It's a good question, but the rules are very clear cut about that both on the server and in the lore of Forgotten Realms.

In Forgotten Realms, a cleric has to pick a patron deity. He can venerate all the goodly gods, but he can only chose to serve one. So the answer to your question is no.

Faerûnian clerics function as described in the Player's Handbook, except that no cleric server just a cause, philosophy, or abstract source of divine power. The Torilian deities are very real, and events in recent history have forced these divine beings to pay a great deal of attention to their mortal followers. All clerics in Faerûn serve a patron deity. (in fact, most people in Faerûn choose a deity as their patron.)

It is simply impossible for a person to gain divine powers (such as divine spells) without one. You may not have more than one patron deity at a time, although it is possible to change your patron deity if you have a change of heart. You cannot multiclass into another class that requires a patron deity unless your previous patron deity is an acceptable choice for the new class. For example, you cannot multiclass as a druid unless your patron deity is a nature deity (since all druids have nature deities as patron deities). You may also bypass this restriction by abandoning your old deity outright (see Changing Deities in Chapter 5: Deities). See the Religion section of this chapter for more information on patron deities. In some lands, worship of multiple deities takes place in the same temple. For example, many smaller dwarven cities have a single temple for all of the dwarven deities, and the people of Rashemen worship Chauntea, Mielikki, and Mystra in the same locations. The clerics in these temples still choose a single deity as a patron, but not all clerics there share the same patron.

I play -something- of a pantheistic paladin. She's an Ilmateri with a militaristic bent so she pays great reverence to and occasionally offers feals and worship to the Red Knight. However, as far as her powers themselves are considered, they are of Ilmater.

Well even though i rp my cleric as serving 3 gods he only has one patron god. Mechanically there is no way to set a character to multiple gods, you have to choose one and that is the one who grants you your spells. Changing that would entail massive alterations to the game mechanics themselves which might not even be possible at all. Oh well, ill just stick with the triad rp while actually serving either Tyr or Ilmater as patron god. All three are in the alliance so i may as well be serving all of them even though i have only one of them as patron diety. Helping any one of them ends up helping the other two regardless.

So a Drow priestess couldn't worship Lolth on workdays, and Eilistraee on weekends when she lets her hair down? Man, the Underdark is beginning to sound a little oppressive!
