[QUOTE="payn, post: 9255163, member: 90374"] I think losing ones soul ought to be a nasty experience. I mean, Liches commit evils to give theirs up for power and longevity. I dont necessarily think losing one's soul should be an automatic evil shift, but I prefer if there is some noticeable difference. I would imagine it as an incredible longing for a return of one's soul. Food isnt fulfilling, music isnt pleasing, touch isnt as sensitive, but the distant memories of all those pleasures remain. A constant reminder of what one once was and all they have lost. Not entirely sure. Despite my views above, id likely not place any role play restrictions. Id likely do some type of bonus/penalty to certain magic effects leaning towards the penalty part so folks dont go around trying to lose souls of their PCs for the bonuses. [/QUOTE]
