Say a cleric of the goddess of love prays to her for the death of his enemies or something, can she provide it? Or will she had to forward the call to a god of war or something.
Honestly, most gods won’t grant favors to their clerics through prayer like that. Clerics are, by definition, their hands in the mortal world, the ones who make the prayers come right. The deity lends them power, but it’s up to the cleric to get it done in the end.
But, in the extremely, extremely rare event that the god does decide to answer a prayer directly, there’s no right or wrong answer. As Lyxen said, it’s up to the DM.
I certainly would not provide powers like that due to the flavor of being a cleric it effecticly make a level one character a god. Even if the cleric serves a God of war you don't want to a campaign aimed at lasting from level 1-16 be over at level one when the cleric preys that the god kills all the enemies. As the others have said a Clerics job is to serve thier god not the other way round
Where is does get interesting is Divine intervention when a cleric hits level 10. The nature of divine intervention is up to the DM but any cleric spell is deemed appropriate. Here the DM can make the invervention appropriate to their domain. When the Cleric cries for help in a battle that is going badly a god of life might put everyone back on max health points (mass heal possibly with a few extra HP to save arguments), a war or light domain god might cast fire storm, a knowledge domain god might cast holy aura. Of course the DM can choose something that is not a cleric spell but it should always be something that helps the party defeat the obsticle or removes a single obsticle rather than does everythingfor them.
I would say some what any god has followers so if they can’t do it they can call on their follower. That’s how my gods interact with the players. However the god/goddess of love could still kill that person if they want. All high LV characters have some ability to blast stuff so it’s not unreasonable.
Can they provide it? Absolutely. Gods provide their clerics with access to all the spells on the cleric list, even the ones that run somewhat counter to their domain. There's no reason to think they would be limited to just that either on the occasion they deign to intervene directly.
The real question is how willing they will be to take actions that run counter to their existence.
3. Depends if the two gods of the domains like each other or not. If you had say a priest of Mars asking for the domain spells of Venus, there will be no problem with it - thanks to Venus being sweet on Mars. But if you ask spells from rival gods - then you have problems :
a. no spell
b. one of the gods smite you
c. derail campaign into a war between the two gods.
I’m assuming most gods would be able to provide basic divine power (default cleric spells) out of their domain, because the cleric shows this. I think most gods have the most power in their own domain, though. And they would tend to use them drawing power from their domain- a goddess of love might kill an enemy using the scorn of a lover, for example.
Resisting is simply standing in front of the tide and pushing at it. Even if you endure at first, you will eventually break down. Adapting, by contrast, is turning into a fish.
