[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 237949, member: 2067"] Wait a bit, and then pick up Philosophies and Falsehoods from Silicon Phoenix Gaming. Though it's a bit light on the Real World Philosophies, it'll give some clear-cut rules on the use of a belief instead of or in addition to an alignment, and how a character can define themselves in terms of belief. Thus, what alignment you are may spring from what you believe in. And people who believe it strongly *and* adventure can gain a few powers in the form of feats and prestige classes for it. So you, too, can be a bit like Descartes and doubt *everything*. And then you can take a feat that allows you to be more resistant to illusions, or one that allows you to dispel magic simply by working out a situation in which it couldn't exist. And then you could take a PrC that gives you powers to see what is hidden by a Great Dieciever and gain abilities like True Seeing and Etheral Vision. In other words, this is a bit of Shameless Self-Promotion, and it may actually help you out, here. ^_^ And yes, there is a mention of how to track belief instead of alignment, using philosophies instead of the usual axises. So, anyone have a Protection from Niztche spell handy? ;) [/QUOTE]
