Why No Death Domain?
Shar is a Goddess of both Trickery and Death, but for some reason Shadowheart is forced to be a Trickery Cleric and can't choose Death.

This makes no sense.

Death Domain is not a option for a player to pick within the BG3.

Maybe you can find a game mod that adds it into the game.

You don't understand.

Death is one of Shar's domain, the Goddess that Shadowheart worships. She's a Cleric of Shar.

Shar, and Shadowheart's story, is central to the game (some might even say the most important, as she's the bearer of the Astral Prism).

As a Cleric of Shar, she should get the choice between either the Death or the Trickery domains, but the Death domain is not available, only Trickery,

I understand just fine. However, at the time of this post, it is NOT a option within BG3. There is no Death Domain to pick even if it makes complete sense.

You can be a Cleric of Kelemvor but you still can not take the Death or Grave domain in BG3.

Making sense and what is available within the game are two separate matters.

Ok, thanks for your non-contribution to the thread, blocking now.

I think they simplified the domains for the masses. Same with paladin oaths but that's just my take on it. I mean there's so much stuff in 5e they could put in but it works the way it is. Too much would scare some people off not all but. Like someone said yeah there is a mod for it. It's not bad but haven't tried it recently added a lot of domains including death and grave in it though.

There's a mod that adds it on Nexus, if you're interested in that sort of thing. If not, no biggie, just thought i'd mention it.

I've actually downloaded it before (however, after Patch 5 I deleted everything and am doing a fresh install).

Not a terrible idea. I probably should have done that at some point. LOL

I mean, 1/2 the mods I had installed weren't working any longer, so I didn't have much choice.

I feel your pain. Same for me. Kind of why I moved on til the 5.0 dust settles then Ill get 100 or so mods going again lol.

Would have gladly had Shadowheart be Death Domain over Trickery. Trickery already isn't fantastic in tabletop, but BG3's mechanics and implementations of key features and spells really do Trickery dirty.

Inorite? That's precisely why I posted this. As a Cleric of Shar, I think a lot of people would have warmed up to her if she wasn't literally the worst subclass.

Larian should add the Death domain.

Larian had to focus on more important things, such as romance options, rather than making a good Baldur's Gate sequel worthy of its name. Did you see how hot Halsin and Shadowheart are?

Indeed: those perverse sex scenes aren't going to write themselves you know! I swear, the writers for this game have the mentality of fourteen year old's, lol.
