[QUOTE="RealAlHazred, post: 6748650, member: 25818"] [b]Originally posted by Syltorian:[/b] Yes! And even better, it makes it possible to have several things be possible at the same time, considering no gods are going to get down from their holy mountain to put you right and incidentally, ask you to return the fire your ancestors stole. I really liked the fallen eladrin (3.5 style ghaele, I believe) playwright in Sharn: City of Towers, and her story mostly relies on her being born into a good, if 'see-no-evil' mentality; whereas their use as creatures ranging from good to evil and largely amoral and whimsical plays very much into the stories that made the fey so fearsome in real life cultures. Would it be possible for a rakshasa to try and steal a rival overlord's power - I believe it was already mentioned that Rak Thulkesh and Sakinnirot (not sure on the spellings...) don't like each other; or would the difference in portfolios make this too tricky? Also, could a mortal do this? We know that some, like the founder of the Korranberg Library, aspired to godhood, and that the dragons believe they can ascend too. Mechanically, it is also possible (in 3.5) to become an outsider through some spells or prestige classes, and I recently rediscovered one in the Dragon Magazines which does so by serving the rakshasa (though their main class-feature is becoming an arrow-magnet to protect their masters). Naturally, survival chances once the Lords of Dust and the Eyes of Chronepsis find out about this would be rather slim. The idea of switching roles, especially of it having already occurred with Bel Shalor is great! There are some interesting possibilities... perhaps the Shadow in the Flame orchestrated this. If it could escape by passing over just enough power to slip through the net and letting the proxy be imprisoned in the flame, it would be free, at a price, certainly, but free. Naturally, the real Bel Shalor would need some kind of guarantee to regain all of its power. [/QUOTE]
