At the risk of moving into "wouldn't let it lie!" territory...

Not a free hand by any means. Only certain religious paths will
'work', or so this seems, at any rate; even those that are seen
to be possible, you can't necessarily simply freely choose between
them. It has to make 'situational sense', if you'll pardon such
a vague statement. Ypu're going to be, at the very least, highly
unencumbered if want to go on the Stomp the Solar heroquest for
funky Dara Happan-dismaying powers, as per another thread, if every
tradition your clan has, every piece of secret knowledge your
cult holds, and every magical practice you've made to date point
you in the Orlanth-and-Yelm-make-peace direction. One could
multiply examples endlessly (if one wasn't knackered, and hadn't
posted way too much already...).
