We are gaining an increasing number of divine casters, but it's been mentioned on several occasions that some of these casters are not upholding the teachings and dogmas of their respective gods.
The DM staff is going to be looking over clerics and druids, and seeing of they are being RP'd according to the diety they are representing.

When and if they pass their test of faith they will recieve a Medallion of Faith or something in representation of one. If they fail then there will be a number of other options presented for the character and the player.
When creating a Cleric you must choose at least one of the chosen domains of that faith. The second domain cannot be anything that would be in opposition of that diety or a domain that diety would have no power over. Best example is that there are NO clerics of Chemosh with the Healing or Sun domains
Druids and their wildshape abilities. There is no exceptions made. Dragonshape is prohibited and the realm of the gods. Prestige class Shifter automatically gives Wyrmling shape but it is NOT to be used.
Constructs and Undead are not natural so Druids of Habbakuk and Chislev or the rare odd diety of like mind will not permit it. Druids of Morgion or Zeboim permit the undead shape if the creature type fits. Again the odd deity of may permit other forms of undead. When using this ability other forms are available including outsiders, be reasonable and use good judgement. In example a NG Druid isnt going to be shifted as a Balor as a favored form.
More to be posted as I think of it or if DM Clotho has more to say.
