No footnotes date April 2009 In the Eberron campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role playing game , most people identify with churches rather than a specific patron deity, as is the custom in other Dungeons & Dragons campaign settings D&D settings . Religions in Eberron are not in general specific to a race, although both the elf Dungeons & Dragons elven Undying Court and the kalashtar Path of Light are not commonly worshipped by other races. Furthermore, unlike other settings, the gods neither walk the earth, nor can be visited by means of planar travel. If they even exist at all is a question open for debate.

As a result, Cleric Dungeons & Dragons clerics have no Alignment Dungeons & Dragons alignment restrictions whatsoever. A cleric may be punished by the church for violating the tenets of the faith, but alignment doesn t affect any class abilities. Thus, a cleric of the Silver Flame might be greedy or corrupt, or perhaps loyal to the church but willing to torture and kill in the interest of the greater good .

In D&D Editions of Dungeons & Dragons Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition 4th edition , paladins are only required to have the same alignment as their deity, and thus evil or unaligned paladins are permitted.
