[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 6075185, member: 6669384"] I think our talk is going to be a long one. He had his character cast [I]True Seeing[/I] last week, as a way to spot the spirit of a dead man. As far as I know, [I]True Seeing[/I]isn't on the Dread Necromancer's spell list. He said that his last group had allowed Vow of Poverty for anyone of any non-evil alignment, so long as they avoided evil acts. He also seemed to think that the Pure Soul feat kept spells with the Evil descriptor from counting as Evil acts, that the feat protected the character from pretty much all alignment consequences. As I'm sure you're aware, it says no such thing. All it does is keep the character from acquiring Taint. In our discussions of Vow of Poverty, I had my BOED in front of me and read the text to him over the phone. He swore that his PDF/book didn't say any of that. All his did was refer to the "Voluntary Poverty" section on page 29. After our call ended I dug in to see what he was talking about. On the table in the book that lists feats, the reference with the page number is there under the description for Vow of Poverty. Hard as it is to believe, I don't think he ever actually read the real feat text. I don't think he's being willfully ignorant though. More of a blind spot. Anyway, he'll be over for a game tomorrow, and he's said that he'll bring his PDF with him. I'll let him down as gently as I can. [/QUOTE]
