If we are banning the Dark Tapestry for the simple reason that it's deities utilize portfolio's that encompass " Death, pain, destruction, death, cruelty, greed, murder, death..." and yet more death... then would it not be logical by extention to also ban all Evocation specialized Wizards who are of the Chaotic Neutral Alignment as well seeing as how their entire specialty basically revolves around causing destruction on a massive scale?
Yes. (though keep in mind several of us are saying no to Dark Tapestry as player material. I think the same of us would support better support from the GM side for the Dark Tapestry).
I understand that you are frustrated that several of us think a character based on the Dark Tapestry concept plays on that evil line too closely, but I think you are starting to make some significant jumps in logic. The very essence of the portfolios you mention are death, pain, destruction, cruelty, murder, death, etc. Those are all evil tending and little good can come of it.
Evocation spells? They are a tool that can be used for good or evil. It simply isn't even in the same ballpark in my opinion.
DalkonCledwin said:In otherwords the way I am reading you guys, is that you only want player characters who have a moral alignment that places them squarely in the good category, or at the very least whose deities are squarely placed in the good category.
I would not say that. I would say that we are having a hard time buying that one who draws their power from the dark tapestry is falling in the middle of the spectrum and strikes us as falling too far into the evil side of things. Again, I think you might be making leaps of logic based off this one specific example of what some of the judges are taking exception to.
Really - the dark tapestry looks pretty interesting to me. I wouldn't mind seeing someone develop some tie-ins to LPF and provide a ripe playground for GMs to use in their adventures. I just don't see a player character as fitting for dabbling in this area.
