A Cleric's choice of deity provides access to some unique conversation options throughout the game. Some Cleric spells have visual effects that incorporate the chosen deity's symbol.


Note that choice of deity is restricted by the race and subrace of the cleric. Only Githyanki have the option to choose Vlaakith as a deity, only Duergar Dwarves have the option to choose Laduguer as a deity, Lolth-Sworn Drow may only choose Lolth as a deity, and Seldarine Drow cannot choose Lolth as a deity.
