[QUOTE="Undrhil, post: 7190309, member: 77538"] I don't know. I kind of look at it like the Warlock. The class, as printed in the PHB, has a patron that is supposed to be chosen at character creation. There are a few times that I've talked to players of Warlocks and they have some off-the-wall answer for "Who is your patron?" "My past self", "My sister's dead cat", "Zzass Tham" (sp?) I mean, sometimes the warlock player doesn't even have one chosen. A Favored Soul seems like a demi-god, from the Greek and Norse myths. The offspring of a pairing between a god and a mortal. Sometimes, the demi-god doesn't know who their godly parent is and maybe part of their character background is wanting to find out who that is. But maybe they don't want to know, for fear that it's someone they have grown up to dislike (Lolth, possible ... or the god of Oozes). From what I understand of FR lore, every character should have a deity chosen, otherwise they go into the wall at the city of death when they die, right? Or they get absorbed into nothingness? How many AL characters right now have no deity listed and therefore should not be eligible to be raised if they die outright? [/QUOTE]
