D20 cleric- question : Crosspost:

I would like opinions or references pertaining to the following:

a 3ed cleric of a pantheon- i.e. he/she worhips and prays to all the gods in a 
pantheon, like Greek or Norse, etc.
Now, the cleric would have access to all spheres.
So i think there would be no domains.  What about spell limits?  
any other ideas?  Would this be in balance?  How would you create such a class, 
regular not prestige.

thank you for your input,

I think there are two considerations to bear in mind here.

One, the cleric class is an artificial construct, designed to be balanced
against all the other classes.  As a result, any changes to the available
domains would (IMHO) greatly affect balance (though mostly to the detriment
of the cleric, since domains give him some bonus effects).

Secondly, a priest of a pantheon really doesn't seem to have an historical
analogue.  Generally, even in pantheistic cultures (like the Greeks or
Norse), individual gods and goddesses had their own priests.  While the
priests acknowledged the importance of the other gods, for whatever reason,
they served one in particular.  I'm sure there are exceptions to this, but
not in the cultures you cited.
