Default Re: How to RP Diety Relationships w/ topsy-turvy Like vs dislike?

Quote from Lore regarding Clerical and Paladin submissions....


Due to the responsibility of a character who is granted divine power to uphold these things submissions for Clerics, Paladins and Champions must contain the following three sections in addition to the standard submission (for examples of individual sections and an example showing how this should all go together see Examples):
  • An acknowledgement that the player has read and understands the dogma and expectations of their chosen deity and intends to follow them.
  • How this particular character sees and interprets their deity's dogma in the past, and how they will, in the future, reflect that interpretation. This does not mean that your character may not change how they interpret the dogma or how they embody that interpretation as they are influenced by world events and RP. Treat this section as more of a description of how your character currently plans to embody their interpretation of the dogma.
  • A discussion/explanation with respect to how closely the character follows normal practices of the chosen deity, particularly in regards to the character's choice of weapon, armor, clothing and even colors worn.
Maybe it's just *me* but I think point one covers among other things deity relations and as EVERY clerical and paladin submission MUST have that acknowledgement include to be approved I am failing to see how that isn't clear on what the team wants.....But as I say...that's just my humble opinion.

Also....If a player isn't exactly sure what that means....Well, it sounds simply but they could ask before submitting a cleric or paladin
