Well, that falls under what I said above. The "balance" is an IC concept, an IC belief that some (many?) people and gods share. It doesn't necessarily have any inherent meaning.

It's quite easy to see why people and gods would think it's unnatural that creatures of other planes should walk their (natural) home plane.

I do not like the idea of forced permadeth, epically because Amia has been toting the line of a lower-end PvP server. Perhaps making a few small steps towards a somewhat more harsh penalty for PvP death may be good, however.

Or more raiding the Abyss. Every demon that isn't an ally is an enemy to be crushed, to gain your 'patron' more power and prestige, and you more xp and gp.

[...]and maybe but not 100 percent Urogalan and Vergadain

Vergadain is an interesting one since negotiation is the fortay of his worshippers, that he often aligns himself with Abbathor, but doesn't favor evil thieves.


Nuh. A BG of Vergadain would never work. Vergadain is still very tied to the Dwarven society and Mordinsamman. Vergadain at least wouldn't be granting powers to any evil dwarf; the rest of the Mordinsamman would end up kicking him in the head.

However, Abbathor is a very ebul bastard. I can imagine a dwarf worshipping Vergadain with a twisted sense of moral, when he'd actually be accomplishing the extortionate goals of Abbathor (not realising it, of course).

Vergadain is the healthy Dwarven deity of glitter much like Waukeen, wherein Abbathor is the one doing anything to gratify his averice.

Sorry for casting raise dead on this thread, but I'm just wondering on a few points (mainly on Shevarash):

1. Should/are blackguards of Shevarash considered a part of the clergy?

2. Would Shevarash have granted the abilities to summon the dead/planar creatures for the purpose of killing a drow(a good-aligned one at that?)

3. Being a blackguard doesn't mean you HAVE to associate with demons/devils /summon the dead /wanting to kill everyone - but rather you could be reflecting on the extreme darker side of your deity's dogma right?

You can be an evil cleric, fighter, rogue, or almost any class. Blackguard is someone who (whatever base class he started in) acted so vile that an outsider decided he is worth investing in to spread that brand of evil around more.

Bump.

Would Hoar have devils to work as his "dealers"? Would a BG of Hoar mainly focus on the evil aspect of Hoar's portfolio or anything at all whenever possible?

Hoar works both ends of the spectrum, something that annoys both Bane and Tyr, the two deities who constantly court his alliances, and the two deities he tends to scorn to work for his own ends. He has devil and celestial servants. A BG of Hoar probably focuses more on the "Vengeance" bit to an extreme, yeah.

Would it make sense if the Hoarite BG weren't actually evil as the patron is not?

No. You are still gleaning dark powers from one of Hoar's fiendish servants.

Blackguards are evil. No way around that, sorry. That's kind of the point of the Blackguard.

All right, thanks. The BG guide should be also added somewhere in the Lore section.

I'd rather not get into the arguments of wholesale copy pasting something that was first posted on the World Serpent Inn's forums.

The BG I play, Sovereign.....uh...sentence


Is it alright if a BG of Malar is unsure of his actions sometimes, but does it because its "In his blood" or because he fears his fathers (A demon) Retribution?

Hesitance is Death and the Hunter of Hunters curries not favor from those who seek to emulate His image. Only the strong survive, those who have no compunctions, no morals, only the blood of the hunt upon their fingers. Let the Elderly hesitate, but murder them not. Let the young hesitate, but murder them not. To all others who hesitate, that is your time to strike for the jugular, and spill their lifeblood upon the grass.

n.b. if your character's father is a demon, you are playing an unapproved half demon and need to stop playing him immediately and submit a request, or unconditionally, immediately retcon your character's life history.

It was never posted on WSI's forums, to my knowledge. And its validity would be no less either way.

Everything in the guide was researched from source materials. There is nothing campaign specific about it.

When you said "other server", I assumed it was osted there and there have been issues previous, so I thought it best to skirt the entire issue.

Well, I don't really care whether it's this one or some other, either way there should be some more specific information, easily accessible, on how the classes work RP-wise. Or is there already?

Specifically, I imagine a Gray Guard of Hoar being a bit more organic than a Blackguard. Maybe that's just me.

Gray Guard also requires a strenuous DM request so we can ensure that you're not simply abusing the class like so many people would use it for.
