Knowing Deity relationships It has been stated in another thread that the divine classes (cleric, paladin, champion) should know the relations of their deity to others. I understand that in meaning that the character would know how their god felt about all the other gods in the pantheon. My question if they are expected to know the deity relationship with other individuals without the other party directly revealing the deity they follow. Clerics have a cantrip "divine relation" that reveals this relationship so in that case the situation is obvious. The cleric should cast that cantrip on anyone they meet so they know how to RP. The question is how are Paladins and Champions to come by the same information? They don't get cantrips so they can't determine this via a spell. The deities are no longer on server status, of which I am glad, to prevent metagaming. Is this something where a Paladin or Champion should be asking other players in tells what deity they follow since they would somehow know this information from a feeling or something? Or should they just be basing their actions on the information inferred from the other characters RP? I guess a good example would be if a Corathite trying to conceal that fact and acting like someone who doesn't worship any diety walked up to a Paladin/Champion of Toran, would the Paladin/Champion just know that Toran hated the god of this person or would it have to be discovered through RP that they worshiped Corath and then RP'd from there? Thanks.
