@pukunui81 @gregbilsland @mikemearlsWhy is the Death domain in the DMG? PHB has both assassin and necromancer. Seems arbitrary to me. The Death domain and the Oathbreaker in the DMG were designed for villains.

@pukunui81But what makes a death priest more villainous than an assassin or necromancer? Why aren’t they in the DMG too? As written, death priests pledge their souls to sinister powers. An assassin or a necromancer is, by default, more gray.

@sagechan1but why is Kelemvor listed for death domain? villainous death domain vs upholding the sanctity of death type god A god like Kelemvor does buck the trend, which is why the DMG leaves the door open for PC clerics to take the Death domain.
