Question! My Cleric and I (the DM) are confused about something.
She's playing a Cleric of St Cuthbert; the alignment is Lawful Neutral. She picked the Protection and Destruction domains for her spells. Does her alignment affect the spells she can cast? Because several of the spells from the Destruction domain are Necromancer spells. One of our friends said she couldn't cast Chaotic spells (so one of them, Shatter, was out) but we're unclear as to whether she can cast necromancer spells. I think we're just confused. :p
*I* think she can cast Inflict Minor Wounds etc because there's nowhere in the description that it's an evil spell or anything so it wouldn't affect her alignment (if that matters anyway). Besides, St Cuthbert is associated with the Destruction domain and I can't imagine him being against spells he's associated with. My Cleric hesitates.
So who's right? :) Can my Cleric cast spells from the Destruction domain?
