cleric

the gods are dead or in hiding, either way their names are not even remembered

clerics function off of their alignments first and their divine domains second, this means a lawful good arcana domain cleric has more in common with a lawful good knowledge domain cleric than it does with a neutral good arcana domain cleric

clerics with the acolyte background are officially part of the temple faction, can go up in ranks and gain other benefits, if an acolyte has its alignment change it doesn't lose the ranks it earned in its previous temple but must start at rank 0 in its new temple structure

a cleric's holy symbol is based off of its domain and alignment, a cleric's holy symbol can be identified as a cleric's holy symbol with a dc 5 religion check, its domain can be identified if the check result is 10 or higher, and its alignment can be identified if the check is 15 or over

alignment change is hardest on a cleric, holy symbols only work for a specific alignment and domain, if your alignment or domain changes your old holy symbol will not work

if a cleric changes alignment it can change its domain by finding a cleric of its new alignment with that domain and performing a dedication ceremony
