[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 2315476, member: 7394"] Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt. Anyone remember the discrepancy in the text of the sanctify the wicked spell from the [i]Book of Exalted Deeds[/i]? In one paragraph it says that it can work on fiends and in the next it says the opposite. And then the template that goes with it says that the creature loses all SU abilities, yet the dragon still has its breath weapon. The developers really are the unsing heroes of the whole process, but there are times when I wish they would go over the final results with the original designer before sending it off to print. In this case they took the one thing about that book that I was the most excited about having written and completely undermined the entire concept upon which it had been based. My original intention behind that spell and template was to allow characters to do the impossible - turn a force of evil - a fiend - into a good aligned creature. My secondary motivation behind it was to make it possible for players to play god aligned versions of lesser devils or demons that had been sanctified. I'd been watching a bit of Buffy and Angel at the time it had been designed and it seemed only logical that there should be some good aligned demons in existence. Aside from that, I originally applied the template to a bearded devil, not a red dragon. Oh well, as a freelancer, you put your head down and keep grinding forward. [/QUOTE]
