Ceasing to exist helps no one, in the end. It's a meaningless gesture in the end which costs only you.Now Shardstone on the other hand...This is why the "gods" in my settings tend to just be powerful entities rather than omniscient/omnipotent ephemeral entities you can't mess with. A really strong Water Elemental can be a god of a small community. A Balor is almost certainly revered and treated as a god for the same reason. Sheer power.'Cause if someone disagrees with how gods should be in a setting, killing them should definitely be an option...And killing the gods -is- an option in Faerun! Characters have been doing it for a long time. The Dead Three have that name 'cause they got -killed- by Mortals, after killing gods -as- mortals, themselves!Heck. Kelemvor, Cyric, and Midnight all became gods during the Time of Troubles after using Godsbane to kill the Dead Three!Less "Choose Oblivion" more "Kill the gods and make things better!"</blockquote>
