[QUOTE="MaxKaladin, post: 176663, member: 1196"] I'm sorry if I offended anyone with the "There is no God..." thing. For clarification: I don't really intend this to be a "Players deliberately set out to start a religion" thing. It's more or less going to be a side effect. Most of the players don't have much to do with religion, but the player of the cleric will tell the unenlightened about the glory of her god. She has done so in the past. The way I see this playing out is that the cleric will tell people about the glory of Orus (her god) and that will be the seed that will grow into the new faith long after they are gone. The big payoff for the players will be down the road when they get to see their character remembered (in some fashion anyway) as the equivilent of prophets or disciples. (I've done something like this before and PCs tend to like it. I had the PCs adventuring normally for a few levels and took careful notes on their public exploits. Then I let them blunder into a trap in an abandoned wizard's tomb that was to hold thieves in stasis until the guards came. Given it was abandoned, it held them for about 1500 years before the magic gave out. They emerged to find the were national heros to whom great deeds were attributed (all based on their exploits but magnified tenfold -- at least) and who were said to be much more powerful than the PCs actually were. It was a lot of fun for all.) A campaign where the PCs are freedom fighters struggling to help free their people might be interesting, too. [/QUOTE]
