More of a lore question here... Wouldn't mind the help! The Grave domain specify that such clerics "seek to destroy undead"... Hence, it doesn't sound like one could be a member of the Covenant of the Grave faction... Which seems like a little bit of a shame. Or am I missing something?
The Covenant of the Grave is not a monolith in their views and morals, but I would assume that a Grave Cleric who belongs to the Covenant of the Grave would likely take a similar stance on undead as the Raven Queen. Simply put, intelligent undead (such as vampires and liches) need to be destroyed as they're seeking ways to cheat death. While skeletons and zombies are little more than mindless constructs made of human remains.
Thank you!
Also, you're not required to stick with the description in the grave domain.
I like to play by the rules... I'm as Lawful Neutral as one can get. But thank you, for your insight, nonetheless.
The flavor description of the class isn't the rules. If the idea doesn't vibe with you, that's fine, but if you like the subclass mechanics, you could work with your DM to tweak it a bit to make it work better with your character concept.
