so me(a firbolg fighter) and my party are in a homemade world of my DMs creation, there was a cleric in my party (joined about 2 weeks after our first session) that acted as if he was a life domain. then one day, we go into a town of pirates, thieves, etc. And the cleric decides to pull the ultimate prank.
We got to a tavern, bought a room, cleric acted like he was going out to find a nearby temple (he had done this in a previous town as well, we didn't suspect anything). a minute after he leaves and we start to converse with the barmaid, then a "scary dark figure, standing 7 feet tall, holding a large mace walks in"(from what I remember). he walked over to our table, started saying stuff like "you have till tomorrow to get out of the town, then the hunt begins.". soon after, he walked out of the tavern, we chased after him and bumped into the cleric, as we saw the figure slip away into an alley.
we get out of town, continue the current quest, weird stuff like this happens a few more times. A year later(last week), the campaign ends and the dm asks if there is anything else we want to do with the campaign, me and the some of the other players are asking what the fricken fracken heck was with that guy. the dm and cleric reveal that they were in on it together and that it was actually the clerics "invoke duplicity" + disguise self. (we found out he was a trickery domain already)
tldr:trickery domain cleric fcks with the entire party's mind with dm's help
I GM'd a game once where one of the players was a cleric of Lathander. Campaign ran for about a year, and then, in the Grand Cathedral of Lathander in some homebrew city in Not-Forgotten-Realms, there's a big ceremony - and right at the hight of the ceremony, our cleric gates in a dozen black winged dark angels (the books have no such thing, but basically prettier devils), wrecks the cathedral, and flies off. We switch chairs, his character becomes the new villain of the campaign, and he becomes GM.
It's a long time ago, I think he stole the MacGuffin (a sacred text, I believe) the party had worked for months to secure, switched alignment and deity, and did his level best to be a major nuisance. The player had planned this since character creation, but only informed me a few weeks in advance. It was the plot twist of the century.
