[QUOTE="Eluvan, post: 2719774, member: 24812"] Heh... darn, I thought I managed to slip that little wavering about the arcanist past you... I edited out the post after changing my mind once more, but obviously you'd already seen it. ;) I'll bear the drakontos in mind, anyway - but I lost some interest after I realised that I would want to play an elemental savant in that case, and that sorcerors don't make great elemental savants really since they have to take a full-round action every time they want to use an Energy Substituted spell. The paragon thing is interesting to me, because whilst I agree that planar cosmology isn't something you'd expect to come up in the typical game... it's something I do envisage coming up in this game, and I certainly hope it does because personally I find it fascinating. I really would like to get quite deeply into philosophical/theological issues in this game, and the implications of worshipping Pelor, an Elysian power, and yet also revering Domiel, a Celestial power, are interesting to me. Basically it just highlights the theological implications that are already inherent in the idea of a Lawful Good character worshipping a Neutral Good deity. I'm not proposing that Domiel and Pelor be tied together in a cosmological sense; that wouldn't make that much sense. They'd likely be on pretty decent terms, but not part of the same 'family'. But to my character, they are the two powers that inspire him to worship/reverence, and the fact that Domiel would likely be allied to Hieronious rather than Pelor doesn't change that. [/QUOTE]
