I think that can be worked around as well. In mythology, deities gain new domains all the time. For example, Apollo being a sun god and Artemis being a moon goddess are actually fairly recent additions. Leaves it open for the cleric to perhaps learn more and interpret their deity in different ways.
That's a really good point! It certainly is possible for deities, as characters in a story, to have more aspects to themselves than what mortals might know. So a cleric learning about those new aspects and informing the rest of their peers about what they learned can lead to some interesting events.
<Snipped quote by Guardian Angel Haruki>After all, as shown in the Planescape setting, belief can be surprisingly powerful.
Er...I think that depends on the situation. In some situations, belief is not enough and facts have to be faced. The example in the quote below is actually a good example of this too!
Say there is a cult worshipping the fiend taking on a heavenly disguise. The cult believes this figure is going to save them somehow, but instead the fiend uses/harvests them for its own purposes. I don't think any form of belief on the Cultist's part is going to convince the fiend to become Good all of a sudden.
<Snipped quote by Guardian Angel Haruki>(tbf I do agree with the warlock thing. It is the most difficult to work around, though not impossible. For example, a fiend taking on a more heavenly disguise when offering their pact for the first time... still frustrating though, and I do wish they hadn't ruled it like that xP)
Thank you!!! I'm glad I'm not alone in that frustration. XD
