[QUOTE="Quickbeam, post: 88619, member: 635"] Excellent situation. Beyond the very solid suggestions related to making a knowledge check/asking the DM, here's my input... First, as a number of previous posts suggest, you could fashion your own holy symbol in a brief ceremony. Whether you choose to purchase a more splendid symbol in the future, or use the one you've crafted in perpetuity isn't important. If none of the aforementioned suggestions solve your dilemma, then I would "borrow" a symbol from the cemetery. Even if your DM indicates that your deity is unhappy with this action afterwards, it appears to be the lesser of two evils from your description. You could make some apologetic declaration while removing the holy symbol, and then accept whatever penance your god deems necessary for acting unlawfully. IMO, though, this presents an [i]awesome[/i] roleplaying opportunity. After crushing the Necromancer and his/her minions (assuming you prevail instead of perish ;) ) locate the family of the person's grave you damaged. Tell them how their loved one's death and burial site have helped to defeat the evil overrunning the town, and how he/she assisted in the work of _______ (insert deity here). Use this situation to your ultimate benefit. [/QUOTE]
