[QUOTE="Mirtek, post: 6500932, member: 40810"] It's a retcon when it retroactively changes the story. Changing the game rules is not, since the game rules don't matter for the novel canon. They are just an imperfect attempt to quantity the story under the current game rules. There's a difference between a retcon and a reveal. If Fiery McBurn was stated to be a cleric of Kossuth back then and is stated to be a cleric of Kossuth still, than the current game rules for what a cleric of Kossuth is don't matter for the lore. The novels don't follow them anyway. If Fiery McBurn was stated to be a cleric of Kossuth back then and is stated to be a cleric of Cyric who just pretended to be a cleric of Kossuth, that's a reveal. He still did his past deeds with everybody thinking that he was a cleric of Kossuth when he did them. If Fiery McBurn was stated to be a cleric of Kossuth back then and is stated to be a cleric of Cyric and we everybody is assumed to have always know he was a cleric of Cyric back then and nobody ever thinking anything about him being a cleric of Cyric, that's a retcon.
