[QUOTE="Evilhalfling, post: 2798996, member: 16991"] The best way to use the book? new good outsiders. I have used the musteval (for a gnome gods representative) the Warden Archeron (guarding a dwarven city in Celestia) and the Owl Archeron (running a stables for paladin Steeds). Only one player has tried an exalted character, a monk/cleric of the god of peace. The player did not have the BoED - so it did not play out exactly as RAW. the other players seem to enjoy the moral struggles, some helping, PCs actually becoming more good and others encouraging him to backslide. [U]His evolution as follows:[/U] 1. non exalted monk 2. goes on pilgirmage, his companions must swear to obey his oath while on trip. [I]"I will not kill humans,elves,dwarves, or any halflings (including gnomes&goblins). I will not kill or allow companions to kill any who have surrendered or any that I have captured, unless they are the legitimate law of the land. I must offer peace before violence to any who can understand.[/I]" 3. becomes a multiclassed cleric. (exalted) 4. time passes. offers peace to Aboleths, Lizardmen, Derro,goblins & Chromatic Dragons, - sometimes sucessfully, others not. 5. he knocks out a halfling necromancer that stole and defiled a friends body, they are 3 weeks from any civilization. He allows the mans wife to kill the necromancer cleanly. -5a. This is a violation, but justifiably ignored by the gods. 6. After brokering a peace between anchient enemies he gains sanctified martial strike as a bonus feat. (to his confusion) 7. After being betrayed several times by a halfling guide, they finally capture him. They are in a moderatly corrupt city, and have little evidance. After much soul searching he allows another PC to kill the guide. -7A. He looses exalted status, sanctified fists, and clerical powers. 8. He is sent on an attonment quest, where he must kill a dragon ur-priest but redeem the dragons wyrmling offspring. 9. He dies after spending too long talking to the dragon, and giving the dragon a clear advantage in position. 10. His soul is redeemed, (regaining clerical spells) but he decides to forgo a reincarnation. [/QUOTE]
