The answer is probably completely obvious, but I can't spot anything in the PHB, so I thought I'd see what you lovely people thought.
Running a game IRL, and a friend is joining, his first ever game. He's seen my fluff for the setting, selected his race, the cleric class, his religion and alignment (either N or CN). His chosen religion is Neutral, and while I completely get the whole Spontaneous Casting and Turn/Rebuke rules for Neutral clerics/deities, it's left me wondering. If he's N (or indeed CN), and opts to channel positive energy, does he face the restrictions on alignment casting as if he were Good-aligned?
For a bit of context; he's looking to be a "Necro-cleric" type, looking at manipulating the undead (and sending them to their "final rest" as is only natural), but still utilising areas of necromancy (so things like Enervate, Death Knell, or so I'm thinking).
Additionally, I'm also looking at swapping out the spontaneous cure/inflict for one of the spontaneous domain casting variants. Which one do people generally prefer/recommend? Unearthed Arcana or PHB2?
Thanks in advance!
