The cleric description in DF1:6 has things like "...your god grants you... " and nothing indicating change from standard. And DF 7 talks in length about how different deities have separate followers and such...

Nothing of which stops your Cleric of Odin from picking the Holy warhammer Blessed by Thor and smacking Evil with it's full suite of benes.


Also, nice job skipping the literal first sentence of the Cleric description: "You’re the mortal representative of the Powers of Good."

Many DF campaigns don't even define the Gods beyond "Gods of Good" and "Gods of Evil", leaving distinctly niceties to the Players to make up, or to never bother with.
