[QUOTE="Rae ArdGaoth, post: 2061863, member: 21064"] I wasn't aware that people became... "petitioners" in the afterlife. Sounds quite crummy, really. But I always thought that... you know, worshippers of say, Pelor, went to his home plane where they basked in the sun for eternity. And dwarves went on to making great weapons with Moradin in his Hall. Something like that. And yes, I did consider the whole "divine magic is actually not from deities but from yourself" thing. But then, they have a whole book called guess what? Deities and Demigods. And players, with a nice enough DM, can actually become deities. I guess... just because the gods exist doesn't mean that they have to bring your soul to them in the afterlife, or that your soul even survives. Someone earlier made a good point: the gods haven't actually ever died, so what do they know? :p I guess I'm comparing it all too much to the real world. I for one would be 110% convinced of God's presence if people started raising from the dead and telling stories about heaven. [/QUOTE]
