With racism, naturally. What, did you see the people of the D&D world as the exemplars of tolerance up until this point? Dwarves despise Elves, Elves look down on Humans, Humans are disgusted by Orcs, Orcs and Kuo-Toas hate pretty much everyone, and so on. It's racism all the way down.

Heh. Diet god. Wish I could give you xp for that one. Why is everyone so fuzzy about what Good means? If you have no concern for people other than your peeps, you are only Neutral at best. Good guys may play around with their pawns, sure, but they take care of them when they do so. Unlike you...

Sort of, though it depends on the deity. I'm sure there are not-so-Good but still Good-aligned deities out there who are more or less pricks, at least for a while, before they settle with one or the other or carefully balance the two out(a la Dr. House). And there are several ways you can be...

Oh, no, quite the contrantry. I agree with you; on this, at least. Heironeous was either born at the dawn of time(as written in holy texts) or simply became when enough people believed in his existence. There is no reason to think or source which suggests Heironeous was a mere mortal man. And...

Since he lacks a deity, he's a paladin of cause. And if he betrays his cause, he loses his powers. Though 'acting mean' does not violate the paladin Code of Conduct, which I certainly didn't mean to say(neither did you, just making clear). I meant he's Good because he chose to be. Alignment...

Homebrew in my book. And an interesting approach! I have an old book on pagans lying around somewhere; I wonder what can I squeeze out of the old Hungarian pantheon:D Thanks for the tip. I'll have to come up with some fancy names though. Our ancestors weren't exactly picky when it came to...

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get rules on Celtic gods? Did you Homebrew it?

Fixed that one for you:cool: Seriously though, Good gods are Good. They risk alignment change if they :):):):) in your face. Pride of that sort is sin, and they know it.

Answering from last to first. 1. Yes, It is:) 2. If Heironeous is what paladins strive to be, most paladins comically missed the point, and 3. Deities aren't some intanglible ascended beings we cannot possibly comprehend; they are just everyday men, women and "miscellaneous" with powers on...

Depends on the deity. You can expect guys like Chaav or Heironeous to be fair and kind. It's in their job description. Then there is Maglubiyet and Ubtao who hardly give a damn about their own followers, let alone everyone else. One thing to remember about D&D gods is that they're basically...

It won't. With all the monsters, humanoids and monstrous humanoids abound, no fantasy world's population reached a fraction of Earth's which would worth a comparison. In the real world, we have literally millions of species sharing this hellhole with us, and still the last thing I hear from...

Deities are still characters, you know. As in, with defined abilities and classes. If they were the kind who can just do anything on the spot the unverse would have been destroyed or enslaved by the evil gods by now. Because there is kind of more of them. About a 1 to 3 ratio. If your don't...

No trouble, but what I mean is, "Divine Punishment" is not definitive enough for an explanation. As an example: Player, asking the "holy dude": So how did he end up the way he is? Holy dude: He was cursed by divine means you can't possibly imagine! Player: Ok, so because the DM said so. *yawn*...

Bluntly said, you have no reason to homebrew a new skill for this, because there are no rolls to speak of most of the time. As a general rule(pun intended), your subordinates are expected to and will follow your lead. Rolls should only be thrown if they have explicit reason to not obey, and...

Tome of Necromancy is also third party, but since you asked... The writers tried and mostly succeeded to fix the core rules for Necromancy where they were broken or unfair, such as morality of spells and various undead creatures or rules for their creation. Sadly, they are preoccupied with...

While I can't directly address the question at hand as of yet, the powergamer in me can think of four things: The Create Wondrous Creature feat from the NBoF, the 3.0 third party book Twisted Lore for some symbionts, oozes and aberrations(Ntb converted; I'm working on it, playable races first)...

Hmm... You make a good point. I guess I can't argue with that. You win.

I thought of a little bonus ability the day before. This class is likely very weak against sunder and disarm, as all of his abilities depend on items. A weapon chain can handle disarm, but what about sunder? I'd say we give his items hp bonus when they're binded, equaling his level in War...

Not lying to yourself and others when it makes no sense files under basic logic in my book, but I guess it can depend on who we're talking about. I'm afraid of the silliest things, after all. Sure it does. I'm saying it's a too easy way out. You have to set standards as to how far you'll go to...

Don't forget some fast moving guerilla fighters who could cut into supply lines and hunt down smaller enemy units. Some Scouts, Rogues, maybe Barbarians and Rangers coupled with a good chaotic commander can do wonders to shift the tide.
