[QUOTE="Thanael, post: 4131454, member: 22734"] Aside form being clearly an evil act, I would also peg it as distinctly un-chivalrous, un-just and dishonorable. In short very much in conflict with Heironeous portfolio of Chivalry, Justice, Honor, War, Daring, Valor. Your cleric seems to be slipping into LN and LE territory. Let him be tempted by Hextor i say. But generally I wouldn´t take away any of his spells. I mean he could technically cast spells without worshipping a god at all. So while his alignment slips he unknowingly casts spells from his faith in concepts alone. Hextor will watch this one closely and try to win him over. Heironeous will watch him closely too and perhaps by somehow punishing him push him even more away... For a cleric of Heironeous casting Destruction or any Necromancy/Death spell is a treading on very thin ice and should definately be reserved for clearly evil and abominous opponents. Check out the spells focus component: A special holy (or unholy) symbol of silver marked with verses of anathema (cost 500 gp). Verses of anathema? Let the player make up some of those verses and then see how much the anathema part applies to the contestant killed. Which domains has he chosen btw.? PS: check out the 2E accessory Bastion of Faith for many details on Heironeous and Hextor´s religions including a nice tale of corruption in a church of Heironeous. [/QUOTE]
