[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7350594, member: 6704184"] The needed to change her place in settings that already have a God of Death, they didn’t need to change her fundamental nature and persona. Asmodeus became a god, and literally nothing else about him changed. He was absolutely 100% still Asmodeus. So much so that if you play it as him having become a god very recently, as they did in 4e FR and Eberron, it isn’t disruptive at all. Making RQ a lesser deity in settings with established gods of death would have worked much better, but more than that, she can be an Archfey (whether literally or Shadowfel equivalent) without reinventing who she is as an entity. If you have a god is summer and one of Winter, Titania and Mabd don’t suddenly need to be changed. There can be a Fey Lady of Death that has nothing to do with the setting’s god of Death, is an ally, is an opponent who seeks out adventurers to help her stop his cults and champions, etc. She can have a seat of power that is outside the god’s grasp, perhaps given to her by gods that oppose the god of death, or stolen by her from him, where from she keeps she watches over what she isn’t strong enough to control, and sends her agents to stop the cultists of Nerull, hunt down necromancers and intelligent undead, etc. In FR she would be an ally of Kelemvor, and a thorn in the side of Shar, who hates that she has escaped her for so long. There are a hundred ways to handle such a character that don’t require reinventing [B]her[/B] just to change her place in the world. [/QUOTE]
