Speaking of the wiki, I have lost my links to there. Could someone provide them please?

We can definitely use a dedicated healer. As previousl noted, Vadric is more the front and center in battle type of cleric, and not the support type of cleric. And Vadric would certainly welcome another companion who is dedicated to the Light. He is associating with one too many heathens as it is.

Thanks for the assist, Draco. (Malfoy?) Rhun, I think I'm going to wind up playig a Lawful-Neutral cleric of the light. He will turn/destroy undead and cast spells as a good cleric, but he's going to be a real pain in the netherparts about Law. That's just what I'm thinking at the moment, however. He may turn out differently still.

Fair enough, but I feel obliged to point out one problem with Neutral alignments, and I know this is going to affect more than just your PC as things continue (both Cannan and Neurotic's PCs are neutral)...many of Vadric's AoE combat spells affect Neutral PCs as well as Evil PCs. Unfortunately, Light and Darkness are much more clear cut in JA's campaign world (in Vadric's mind), and Vadric honestly believes that if you are not good, you are evil, so he doesn't hesitate to use said spells.

Cannaa's PC has always stayed well away from Vadric in combat, so he has been safe so far...make sure if your PC isn't good he stays far away from Vadric in combat.

Ok, fair enough. You should be aware that the one game at ENWorld that I quit was because of pcs attacking other pcs. If you can't deal with neutral being neutral, then I'll save us both the trouble and not play. Evil means evil, and neutral means neutral. But, whatever.

This is NOT a normal D&D campaign where goods and neutrals can get along, and elves, dwarves and humans live together in peace and harmony. A wizard, even if of good alignment, is an enemy of the Church, and thus an enemy of Vadric's. Racism, schism and persecution are a common part of this particular setting. JA seems to thrive off playing the PCs against one another in this game.

You probably should go read through the IC thread of this game before playing in this game...because character tension is *VERY* high. My PC is already probably going to be facing charges of heresy and worse just by associating with Canaan's PC, among others. And Vadric and Vorian have almost come to blows in this game over whether elves are demon-spawn or not (averted by extremely well done roleplaying, I might add).

It isn't a matter of me not being able to deal with neutrals. I love playing neutral PCs. It is a matter of roleplaying, pure and simple. IN CHARACTER. It is as simple as that. I'm not trying to be confrontational, just pointing out that this is not your simple, straightforward, everyday D&D game.

This has been one of the most difficult campaigns I have ever played in from a roleplaying perspective. And I have enjoyed the challenge. I can't give enough props to JA for this one...but it is definitely a challenge.

2 cents

In this world there are really no bondaries as far as good, neutral and evil are concerend....the formation of the light occured when all the good gods and most of the neurtal ones....surrendered their power in order to combat the evil from the northlands...thus while a character may be neutral good..lawful neutral etc the questino is who does he serve etc and what is his particular association with the light.......the ONLY true neutrals are the druids and worsphpers of the old religion and the Church has major issues with them....

This campaign as it was envionsied centers more on the Characters than a combat...the tenison comes as each plays this character according to his template then has to adjust those belifes etc as life developes just like in the real world.....

hope this helps..

If that is the case JA, then spells like Holy Word and Holy Smite should not have an effect on those that believe in The Light (even if they are neutral), and should only affect non-believers. Alignment should not come into play, correct?

SHEESH! No need to get so preachy on me Rhun! First of all, if you think that you know JA and his games better than I do, you've got another thing coming. Second of all, I already withdrew from the game, so the problem has been solved already. End of problem. Resume game henceforth.
