actually, upon seeing a totally unrelated post it occurred to me that people in Exandria think of the gods like people in America think of corporate brands, and I'm gonna turn that one over in my mind for a while

#Critical Role for ts #religion mention for ts #arguably that could be the point of the campaign. for people in general to recognize there are stakes beyond which god gets their worship #the existence and power of the gods is not in question but it's still treated very casually #Deanna makes the commitment of being a cleric as a 'thanks Sunny D' for her resurrection #FRIDA has a level of cleric because they like Deanna not because of any connection to the Dawnfather at all #and FCG was out casting cleric spells before he ever considered a deity #Pike seemed to be an exceptionally devout cleric by all the campaigns' standards (I have not watched C2)#for everyone else it seemed to be a matter of utility #which I make a conscious effort *not* to read as players wanting a particular spell list while not wanting to engage in the devotion aspect #(simply because cleric *is* the all-around performance class for when you join a preexisting campaign. fills the gaps in the party you know #and have there been any paladin PCs besides Zerxus and Yu? again. I've only watched C3 in its entirety and a handful of C1 + LoVM #(pour one out for Emily Axford's original concept of playing the horniest possible paladin. even hornier than Zerxus)
