[QUOTE="Cheiromancer, post: 2399538, member: 141"] I don't suppose you are a fan of the (rarely updated) "Tales of Wyre" story hour, are you? They are my gold standard of epic level gaming. What is distinctive about the story hour is the ambiguity in its treatment of cosmological and theological issues. E.g., take this little snippet, especially the last line: Would the Immortal's Handbook preserve this sort of ambiguity? Could you have different (bitterly opposed) religions who worship the same deity? Although this is obviously (and painfully) possible in our world, it would seem that it would be impossible in most D&D campaigns. A few [i]communes[/i] should solve the question of which religion is "right" in the way it worships their common deity- perhaps it would be necessary to [i]gate[/i] in a solar and question him/her closely. But the ambiguity is resolvable. 'Twould be nice if the Immortal's Handbook allowed certain ambiguities to be systemic and irresolvable. [/QUOTE]
