CapnAndy posted:Hey Belkar, done any good deeds lately? Well, I'm sure you took the credit, since after all you're just faking character development and any good acts without an audience wouldn't fit at all into that. And we definitely didn't get a flashback from your perspective, showing that you were doing it out of genuine empathy for people you had every reason to hate and want to suffer, right? I mean, drat, if all of that was true, it'd be really really hard to argue that you're still just faking your character development instead of actually experiencing some for real. Belkar might be less of a monster than he started, but suggesting that he's not evil because he let a rampaging dino out into an arena fight is... a stretch. You kinda need to work a bit harder to move up the alignment scale when your averaging about a kilonazi of evil.

2 Kings 1:9-12 posted:Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty men with his fifty. He went up to Elijah, who was sitting on the top of a hill, and said to him, “O man of God, the king says, ‘Come down.’” But Elijah answered the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty.” Then fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty. Again the king sent to him another captain of fifty men with his fifty. And he answered and said to him, “O man of God, this is the king's order, ‘Come down quickly!’” But Elijah answered them, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty.” Then the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty. Honestly, it's the phrasing here that kills me: "If I am a man of God, let God wreck all their poo poo." Then God wrecked all their poo poo.

bartolimu posted:Bone golems are constructs, not undead. I think his point is, "So instead of making an army of animated undead, which would be wrong, why not make an army of Bone Golems, which apparently has no moral repercussions." Of course, I think all golems have a percentage chance to just flip the gently caress out and murder everything, so I don't know if they would make the best civil servants.

Eifert Posting posted:I bet it feels loving fantastic though. I've always pictured positive energy healing feeling incredibly creepy, especially if an evil cleric is doing it. Your flesh is growing and reknitting itself at an absurdly fast rate. It may not hurt, but it would probably turn your stomach the first few times. And that's before you start growing tumors from uncontrolled body growth.

Shugojin posted:It's not so much tricked as Loki gave it to him. Throwing poo poo at Baldr and watching it bounce harmlessly off was kind of a pastime for the Norse gods up until then. Even better, the reason that he was immortal was that his mom went around and made everything swear that it wouldn't hurt him. She didn't get Mistletoe to swear because it was too young to swear an oath.

MikeJF posted:She said "the" favored soul of her god - does each god get one favored soul? Not necessarily. Favored soul is to cleric as sorcerer is to wizard. Although, Durkula really did overthink this (which I get is part of the joke). But still, a more practical Durkula could have gone, "Good news, Roy! While I was praying, Thor told me about a big ol' Godsmeet up in the mountains! Let's go!"

Mystic Mongol posted:Durkula gets a pass on being a vamprie because he's 100% in favor of supporting the pary and helping them save the world--his only "sidequest" he's been pushing is turning himself back to a dwarf. As soon as he starts trying to convince people to stop trying to save the world to go to some place hundreds of miles away that only he knows about because of reasons only he can vouch for, he's gonna drop a few dozen notches on the credibility scale. Even now Roy's been lurking outside of his room suspiciously, and he's been a model party member. That's a pretty good point. Welp. Guess I'm not nearly paranoid to be a PC.

Brannock posted:World destruction (presumably to control the Snarl) would be followed by a remake, most likely, since the gods like having followers. In a recreation, Hel would be still stuck in her position and the status quo would be preserved. She/Nokrud is going to vote to keep the world undestroyed (thus delaying Roy's suspicion of him) because Hel thinks she has pieces in place to overthrow the other members of her pantheon. Seems pretty clear. Yeah, but no way is Roy going to be ok with, "As High Priest of Hel, I cast my vote to not destroy the world."

Zoe posted:So I'm not sure how this works exactly, are thralls different from regular vampires, and are those two he attacked also trapped in their own minds and looking on in helpless horror now while their bodies are being puppeted around? Thralls are what happen when you vamp someone who doesn't have enough class levels to be a real vampire. Even in death, all anyone cares about is your resume. However, even if you're special enough to be a real vampire, you still get to enjoy being a slave to the person who turned you. The only restriction is that a vampire can only have up to twice their level in follower levels. If you try to go over, you end up losing the oldest thrall. Which makes the common trick to have your thralls vamp people for you until you have a massive org chart of a vampire clan, bound through levels of enslavement to the master vamp who started it all. The whole "Trapped in your mind" bit is a unique twist that Rich threw in.
