5e Paladin vs Divine soul, how would he know?

[Spore]

Your post is full of great points (I snapped the rest for brevity).

One thing I also like about clerics is that they're entirely based on being chosen by the god. Which means that a person so chosen can actually entirely resent being chosen!

I just love the idea of this cleric walking around absolutely hating the fact that he has to do all this crap, and never really liked the god anyways, grumble grumble grumble....

Honestly I'd love to play this concept. But not in an edgy "I never asked for this" Adam Jensen way. But more in a pouty kid/angry moping dwarf kinda way.

*grumble grumble* Stupid gods and their mysterious ways

*sighs deeply* fricking undead attacks all the time *rolls eyes* damn it, why do I have to deal with liches?

I actually built, but didn't run a character like this. A dwarf, raised by gnomes, unwillingly chosen by a gnome God. He'd take the argue with god route: are you sure? Can I do that instead? Why can't I just settle down? Ok, ok, I'll do it. But I don't have to like it.
