Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Paladin class NEEDS Deity Choice!

In response to the discussion above:
It sounds like non-Cleric Divine Casters can draw divine power from more than one deity at a time. Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 3rd Edition maintains that Druids get their power from the relevant patron deities of nature. Then Faiths and Pantheons (2002) states that only deities with a direct tie to nature can provide spell power to druids. BUT, there are multiple deities with some tie to nature across a handful of alignments. There's also no place where it argues that druids, paladins, and rangers can only have one patron deity. So could it be that druids, paladins, and rangers are drawing smaller amounts of power across a larger number of deities, and if they piss one deity off, the tap isn't completely shut because other relevant deities of nature, oaths, and the like are still offering smaller amounts of power? It would explain that a druid that chooses to completely fuck over nature would lose all power by having consent to divine magic revoked by ALL relevant deities. But if a paladin denounces one god relevant to their oath, another god that dislikes that god might still offer power relevant to that oath, as long as the overall oath isn't broken.
